Mechanical Engineer
Locations : On-Site in Cleveland, OH & Charleston, SC
Our client is expanding two high-growth product lines that protect critical environments for life-science, healthcare, and advanced-manufacturing customers. They need a hands-on Mechanical Engineer who loves seeing designs move from 3-D model to factory floor to finished installation. If you thrive on variety - custom equipment one week, supplier negotiations the next, and a quick site visit to verify fit-up - you’ll feel right at home.
What You’ll Do
- Own mechanical design of custom modular enclosures, precision access doors, and related sub-systems in SolidWorks and Revit, delivering complete models, drawings, and BOMs.
- Produce manufacturable drawings, costed BOMs, and clear assembly instructions that hit quality and lead-time targets.
- Run FEA-based structural, vibration, and thermal studies to validate safety and performance.
- Source & track specialty hardware - hinges, seals, actuators, filtration interfaces - working closely with purchasing and key vendors.
- Coordinate with architecture, electrical, and controls teams plus outside design firms to integrate your work into overall facility layouts.
- Lead design-for-manufacture and continuous-improvement projects that boost throughput, reliability, and margins.
- Provide on-site support during fabrication, installation, and commissioning at both Midwest and Southeast facilities (≈10-15 % travel).
- Maintain CAD libraries, engineering change documentation, and best-practice design standards in the PLM system.
