Senior Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer, Senior

As a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer, you will perform various analyses, design, and / or assembly related to manufacturing engineering projects.

You will develop, implement, and maintain methods, operation sequence, and processes in the manufacture or fabrication of parts, components, sub-assemblies and final assemblies.

You will collaborate with design engineering in coordinating the release of new products. You will make recommendations for tooling and process requirements of new or existing product lines.

Your role will include analyzing quality indicators to determine root cause and maintaining records and reporting systems for coordination of manufacturing operations.

You will direct support personnel in the preparation of detailed design, design testing and prototype fabrication. You will also provide design information to drafting for packaging documentation.

This includes thermal analysis and use of other analytical / modeling tools. Capability to draw conclusions and reconcile differences between predicted and actual results.
