Mechanical Designer
Overview
We are seeking a detail-oriented Mechanical Designer to join our engineering team. This role is responsible for translating engineering sketches, concepts, and specifications into accurate, production-ready 3D models and technical drawings using SolidWorks. The Mechanical Designer will play a key role in moving designs from concept through fully populated assemblies while ensuring manufacturability, documentation accuracy, and adherence to company and industry standards. Working closely with engineers and cross-functional teams, this position supports efficient design execution and high-quality manufacturing outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop detailed 3D models and assemblies in SolidWorks from conceptual sketches, engineering inputs, and specifications, ensuring accuracy and alignment with company design standards.
- Create fully populated mechanical assemblies that support production documentation, assembly instructions, and downstream manufacturing processes.
- Apply GD&T principles to engineering drawings and models to ensure design intent is communicated clearly and components meet manufacturability and tolerance requirements.
- Collaborate with engineers and cross-functional teams to translate conceptual ideas and rough sketches into functional, manufacturable mechanical designs.
- Maintain CAD data integrity within PDM systems, managing revisions, part libraries, and documentation to ensure accurate configuration control.
- Support prototype development and design reviews, incorporating feedback from engineering and manufacturing teams to refine designs prior to production.
Qualifications
- Associate’s degree in Mechanical Design, Mechanical Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related technical field, or equivalent hands-on professional experience.
- 3+ years of professional experience creating detailed 3D mechanical models and assemblies in SolidWorks within an engineering, manufacturing, or product development environment.
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks part modeling, assemblies, and drawing generation, including creation of production-ready models and fabrication drawings.
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes such as machining, sheet metal fabrication, and large mechanical assemblies, with the ability to design for manufacturability.
- Working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and experience producing technical drawings aligned with ASME drafting standards.
- Experience managing CAD data, revisions, and documentation using PDM/PLM systems such as SolidWorks PDM or Windchill.
- Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to design accuracy.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills for collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong problem-solving mindset with the ability to translate conceptual ideas into practical mechanical designs.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with electrical enclosure or power distribution equipment standards such as UL891, UL508A, UL67, and UL1008.
- Certified SolidWorks Professional (CSWP) or Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) certification.
- Experience working in a manufacturing, industrial equipment, or R&D environment supporting prototype and production design.
