About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Independently design and maintain complex mechanical assemblies using advanced parametric CAD modeling in SolidWorks and/or Creo
Develop detailed layouts and assemblies encompassing structural elements, enclosures, piping systems, thermal components, pumps, valves and mounting interfaces
Ensure mechanical designs meet performance, thermal, structural, manufacturability, serviceability and customer requirements
Resolve system level mechanical integration challenges, including packaging constraints and interface definition
Execute configuration and revision-controlled CAD designs supporting multiple product variants, options and revisions within a common platform
Maintain stability and integrity of complex models as engineering changes are introduced over time
Implement engineering changes (ECR/ECNs), ensuring traceability, compatibility with released configurations and minimal disruption to production
Ensure consistent alignment between CAD models, drawings, BOMs and PLM data across all lifecycle stages
Produce and maintain production ready manufacturing drawings, applying expert level GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, materials, finishes and inspection quality requirements
Support prototype builds, pilot production and manufacturing issue resolution through rapid design updates and documentation corrections
Ensure designs support repeatable, high-yield manufacturing across multiple sites, suppliers, and production volumes
Work closely with electrical engineering to coordinate mechanical electrical interfaces, routing paths and packaging clearances
Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, quality and production teams to address build issues, component changes, and all feedback
