Description

An engineering firm specializing in process controls solutions and experts in the design, programming and deployment of automation systems for process, manufacturing, commercial buildings and public sector utilities is opening a Mechanical Engineer position in Orlando, Florida (USA) This is a great opportunity to join a 100% employee-owned ESOP and one of the largest and most well-established engineering companies in the United States skilled at electrical design, control system manufacturing, process integration, programming, testing, training, and ongoing support. This position is responsible for mechanical engineering on large scale projects. Project requirements involving mechanical system design from scratch, analysis/calculations (stress/fatigue/etc.), acceleration forces, load calculations, material stress design, failure and effects analysis, risk assessment, component selection, mechanical system installation/commissioning. Company Size : 201-500 Education : Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. (Bachelor’s degrees in other disciplines may be acceptable if work experience is directly related to electrical engineering. Disciplines outside of the electrical/controls area will not be considered) Experience : 7–10+ years of senior-level mechanical engineering experience with proven ability to lead design projects from scratch or major modifications (from concept to execution), including major redesigns or new system development (50%+ redesign). Knowledge of techniques involving GD&T for large scale systems or systems with high duty cycle and fatigue requirements Experience in ASTM standards, attractions industry, and safety engineering is preferred Prior field or installation exposure : candidates with desk-based or continuous-process only work experiences won't be a good match for this role. Preferred certifications and credentials : Ideally certifications such as Certified Automation Professional (CAP) or Certified Control Systems Technician (CCST) are a plus (non mandatory) Key Competencies : 10+ years mechanical engineering experience with hands-on design from concept to execution, including major redesigns (50%+). • Proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks preferred; Creo or Inventor acceptable) for detailed mechanical system modeling. • Expertise in pneumatic and hydraulic system design and troubleshooting, structural and fatigue analysis, and mechanical system installation/commissioning in manufacturing environments. Required tools/systems mastery : Advanced hands-on proficiency with 3D mechanical design software, specifically SolidWorks (preferred), Creo, or Autodesk Inventor, demonstrated through leading design projects from concept to execution. Experience using software tools for mechanical system analysis including stress, fatigue, reliability, and tolerance calculations. Work Model: 100% onsite at client/project locations. Must live within reasonable commuting distance or be willing to relocate to Orlando with limited relocation assistance available. Travel : Ability to travel up to 30% worst case (10% is typical with last couple years depending on project) Physical Demands of Position : Seeing, color perception, hearing, listening, clear speech, dexterity in hands, driving, lifting, climbing, ability to mount and dismount equipment, pushing, and pulling Working Condition : Expected on client location 5 days a week, Standard office environment, On-site office environment, and diverse industrial/construction environments. Frequent PC usage, copy machines, phones. Shift patterns : Capable of working “off” shifts as needed during installation/commissioning to support project Relocation Assistance : Limited assistance Visa sponsorship eligibility : Not included MISSIONS Responsible for system design from blank sheet of paper to create concept of mechanical components based on project requirements Provide input, and system modification as needed, for system integration with other project disciplines Manage vendor scope to verify safety, functionality, and all contract requirements are satisfied. Ensure design complies with any local or government agency design/implementation codes in addition to client codes/standards. Project technical risk assessment document generation and mitigation implementation Design and analysis for safety critical parts within a mechanical system. Design redundant mitigations in system to increase safety and reliability. Design systems with complex motion and integration from automated systems. Develop documents of system configuration and design. Documents include Description of operation, Detailed mechanical system design description, analysis reports, system implementation/acceptance test plans, system routine maintenance/job plans Requirements - 10+ years of experience in mechanical engineering roles - At least 3+ years of experience in mechanical design from scratch or major modifications (50+% redesign) - Experience doing design via 3D modeling software (SolidWorks preferred) - Strong mechanical design and analysis skills, including structural analysis, fatigue, reliability, tolerance studies, component selection, and applied calculations for real-world performance. - Hands-on experience with 3D modeling software (SolidWorks preferred; Creo, Inventor, or similar). - Experience designing and troubleshooting pneumatic and hydraulic systems. - Background in manufacturing-oriented environments where designs are physically built, installed, and commissioned. - Knowledge of techniques involving GD&T for large scale systems or systems with high duty cycle and fatigue requirements - Experience in ASTM standards, attractions industry, and safety engineering is preferred - Key Competencies : Knowledge of contract documents and specifications.
