Work Type : Onsite

Travel Required : Up to ~35% domestic site travel

Relocation Assistance : No

Work Authorization : Only GC / US Citizens

About the Role :

We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Engineer to design, analyze, and deliver large-scale mechanical systems for entertainment, amusement and attraction environments. The role involves everything from conceptual design, stress or load calculations, system installation and commissioning to safety / risk assessment and project leadership.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Lead full system mechanical design from scratch : component selection, load / stress / fatigue / acceleration calculations
  • Perform risk & hazard assessments, including FMEA (Failure Modes & Effects Analysis), emergency evacuation scenarios, single-point failure minimization, and compliance with ASTM ride standards (e.g. F2291)
  • Develop technical documentation : theories of operation, detailed design descriptions, installation and acceptance test plans, maintenance and job plans
  • Produce detailed mechanical drawings, assemblies, and installation procedures using AutoCAD and / or SolidWorks
  • Design, integrate, troubleshoot pneumatic and hydraulic control systems
  • Lead system commissioning, startup, and field debugging; ensure systems function correctly under site conditions
  • Act as technical lead on projects : matching technical requirements, mentoring junior engineers / technicians / contractors
  • Manage smaller projects (~$50,000–$250,000) : budgeting, scheduling, procurement / subcontractor oversight, change orders, scope definition
  • Interface with multidisciplinary teams (electrical, controls, fabrication, field operations, safety) and with clients to ensure deliverables meet expectations

Required Skills & Qualifications :

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
  • Minimum 5-7 years of relevant experience in mechanical systems design, analysis, and field work (strong preference for theme-park / ride design experience)
  • Proficient in AutoCAD and SolidWorks for drawing generation and CAD modeling
  • Solid understanding of mechanical load calculations, stress / fatigue analysis, reliability and life expectancy studies
  • Experience reading and interpreting mechanical and electrical schematics / drawings
  • Strong oral and written communication, ability to prepare clear, concise documentation
  • Demonstrated ability to plan, organize, and execute project tasks; lead project phases and coordinate teams
  • Customer-focused, precise with detail and deadlines
  • Ability to travel to customer sites up to ~35%, lift up to ~50 lbs, perform physically demanding tasks (climbing, reaching, etc.)

    • Preferred Skills :

  • Familiarity with ASTM F2291 (Standard Practice for Design of Amusement Rides & Devices) and other safety / ride & attraction standards
  • Experience with ride / attraction systems : guest acceleration, ingress / egress, evacuation modeling, reach envelopes
  • Previous project management experience on mechanical projects
  • Experience in contract documentation, scope change management
  • Experience in field commissioning / startup / debugging on site

    • Work Environment & Physical Demands :

  • Work environments vary : office design work, shop / fabrication settings, and field / customer sites (construction / industrial / attractions environments)
  • Must comply with safety protocols, possibly wear protective gear, work in clean or semi-clean attraction sites
  • Physical requirements : standing, walking, lifting (~50 lbs), climbing, pushing / pulling, reaching, ability to handle mechanical tools and equipment

    • Standards & Safety Compliance :

  • All designs must comply with applicable local / government agency building, safety, and design codes
  • Must align with amusement ride safety standards (e.g. ASTM F2291 – Standard Practice for Design of Amusement Rides and Devices) for load, strength, acceleration, restraint, safety systems, etc.
