About the Role

Mechanical Engineers support manufacturing readiness by translating Industrial Engineering plans into detailed workstation, equipment, and tooling solutions. At Level 1, the Mechanical Engineer contributes to workstation/equipment planning, installation, maintenance, and production support activities while developing foundational mechanical engineering skills. This role focuses on learning standard designs, procedures, and manufacturing requirements, while actively supporting installation, documentation, and continuous improvement efforts under guidance from senior engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Support equipment planning activities by developing and maintaining workstation Bills of Materials (BOMs), quantities, and setup requirements.
• Assist in the design and configuration of standardized workstations, including testing stations and filling/melting machines.
• Participate in workstation setup and installation activities, verifying equipment, fixtures, and layouts meet defined standards and specifications.
• Document workstation configurations, layouts, and setup procedures, contributing to the creation and maintenance of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
• Support production readiness by coordinating with Facilities, IT, and other engineering teams during workstation deployment and line setup.
• Review maintenance and equipment performance reports, identify recurring issues, and escalate findings to senior engineers.
• Assist with fixture and tool development activities, including supporting design reviews, prototyping efforts (such as 3D-printed fixtures), and vendor coordination.
• Support equipment reliability efforts by tracking equipment issues, maintenance activities, and improvement actions.
• Follow safety, quality, and operational standards while performing engineering support activities on the production floor.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Foundational knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, manufacturing processes, and workstation design concepts.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, layouts, and equipment specifications.
• Familiarity with basic measuring tools and mechanical components used in manufacturing environments.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to follow established standards and procedures.
• Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams.
• Basic proficiency with documentation tools and engineering software (CAD experience is a plus).

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline required.
• 0–2 years of relevant experience in manufacturing, mechanical engineering, or production support (internships or co-op experience included).
