About the role
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.
