Senior Mechanical Engineer

About the Role: The Senior Mechanical Engineer is a senior level engineering position responsible for leading the design, development, and commercialization of advanced mechanical systems and components. This role supports complex product development from concept through production, with a strong emphasis on design for manufacturing, prototyping, and technical leadership. The position is well suited for an experienced engineer seeking to work in a fast paced, innovation driven environment delivering high quality industrial products. Responsibilities: Lead mechanical design projects from initial concept through prototyping, validation, and production release. Take full ownership of assigned projects from inception to completion, ensuring technical excellence and timely delivery. Develop project requirements, conduct technical investigations, and resolve complex product and process challenges. Design complete mechanical systems and individual components for prototype, pre commercial, and commercial products. Prepare detailed design specifications, engineering analyses, and technical recommendations for leadership review. Apply design for manufacturing and design for assembly principles to ensure scalable, cost effective production. Perform advanced CAD modeling, tolerance analysis, and creation of engineering documentation. Conduct and interpret finite element analysis and other simulations to validate mechanical performance. Support hands on prototyping, testing, and iterative design improvements. Provide technical leadership and collaborate with cross functional engineering and manufacturing teams. Qualifications: Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET accredited program. Ten or more years of experience in mechanical design and product development. Strong experience designing products for manufacture in industrial or commercial environments. Advanced proficiency with SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software. Demonstrated experience with finite element analysis, ANSYS preferred. Proven ability to lead technically complex projects and deliver high quality engineering solutions. Strong analytical, problem solving, and technical communication skills. U.S. Citizenship is a mandatory requirement for this role. Desired Qualifications: Experience developing complex machinery or industrial equipment from concept through commercialization. Background supporting prototype builds and transition to production manufacturing. Experience mentoring junior engineers or serving as a technical project lead. Strong interest in working within a technically demanding, product focused engineering environment.
