Junior Mechanical Engineer

Reference: me_1775860020

Role Summary

The junior mechanical engineers will work alongside senior engineers and existing team members to design equipment, tooling, and fixtures for the production line. They will take ownership of individual machines or tools, handle detailed design work, and support repeat builds of equipment that has already been proven. They sit in the lab next to the existing team, contributing directly to equipment development and build-out.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design automation equipment, tooling, and fixtures in SolidWorks under guidance from senior engineers
  • Manage designs in SolidWorks PDM following established workflows
  • Produce 2D mechanical drawings with proper dimensioning and tolerancing
  • Perform material selection and specify purchased parts for integration into assemblies
  • Support repeat builds of proven equipment designs, ensuring consistency and documentation
  • Take over detailed design work from senior engineers to free them for higher-complexity tasks
  • Participate in hands-on assembly, bench testing, prototyping, and equipment debug
  • Collaborate with controls engineers and process engineers on equipment integration

Required Skills & Experience

  • 1-4 years of mechanical design experience (internship or co-op experience counts)
  • Strong SolidWorks proficiency (3D modeling, assemblies, drawings)
  • SolidWorks PDM experience or willingness to learn quickly
  • Solid understanding of 2D drawings, dimensioning, tolerancing, and GD&T fundamentals
  • Material selection basics and ability to specify purchased components
  • Hands-on aptitude - comfortable working in a lab/shop environment

Preferred Experience

  • Experience designing custom equipment, tooling, or fixtures (not just consumer product design)
  • Background in precision assembly, fiber optics, medical device, or electronics manufacturing equipment
  • Familiarity with mechanical integration of actuators, bearings, linear motion, pneumatics
