Mechanical Design Engineer

Develop mechanical parts and complex assemblies in SolidWorks, from initial concepts through released designs. ● Produce clear, accurate engineering drawings, bills of materials, and specifications suitable for fabrication and assembly. ● Select appropriate materials, hardware, fits, and tolerances based on load, operating environment, manufacturing method, inspection requirements, and service conditions. ● Translate sometimes ambiguous engineering objectives into practical mechanical concepts and complete designs. ● Evaluate design trade-offs, document key assumptions, and make sound, defensible engineering decisions. ● Work directly with fabricators, suppliers, technicians, and production personnel throughout prototype and production builds. ● Support hands-on fit checks and integration activities on vessels and on the shop floor. ● Identify and resolve fit, manufacturability, fabrication, and assembly issues discovered during builds. ● Incorporate as-built feedback and maintain design revisions so released engineering information accurately reflects the product being built. ● Communicate technical progress, dependencies, design decisions, and risks clearly and early. ● Support continuous improvement of mechanical designs based on build, test, and operational feedback. Required Qualifications ● Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. ● Approximately 3–6 years of relevant mechanical design experience. ● Strong hands-on experience with SolidWorks, including part modeling, complex or large assemblies, drawing creation, and design modifications. ● Practical knowledge of engineering drawings, dimensioning and tolerancing, materials, fasteners, machining, sheet metal, and general fabrication methods. ● Experience taking mechanical designs through prototype and/or production builds. ● Experience resolving real-world fit, fabrication, assembly, or manufacturability issues in collaboration with technicians or shop personnel. ● Ability to work effectively with limit...
