Job Description

Mechanical Engineer

Department: Engineering & Manufacturing
Reports To: Chief Engineer
FLSA Status: Exempt
Location: On-site (manufacturing environment)
Travel: Occasional (domestic; international may be required)

Position Summary

Join our engineering team and help build the products that keep bulk material moving. As a Mechanical Engineer, you’ll take ideas from concept to production—designing components and assemblies, supporting application and quoting, and partnering with manufacturing to turn solid engineering into reliable, high-quality product on the floor. This role offers hands-on involvement in new product development, continuous improvement, and D365 data accuracy (BOMs/routings/cost inputs) that directly impacts execution, margins, and customer satisfaction.

Key Responsibilities

Engineering, Design, and Product Support

  • Create and maintain 2D drawings and 3D models (SolidWorks preferred), including detailed manufacturing prints and revisions.
  • Support new product development, R&D efforts, and engineering changes for existing products.
  • Provide product selection and application support to internal teams and customers; assist with troubleshooting and problem resolution.
  • Work with Production leadership to ensure shop teams have current drawings, specifications, and documentation needed to build orders correctly.

Costing, Quoting, and ERP Data Integrity

  • Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and production routes within Microsoft AX & Dynamics 365 (AX/D365).
  • Conduct and evaluate time studies to establish and improve labor standards and routing accuracy.
  • Support estimating inputs for costs and selling price development (materials, labor, routing assumptions, etc.).
  • Use analytical tools (Excel and related systems) to evaluate product cost drivers and recommend improvements.

Manufacturing and Process Support

  • Collaborate with Manufacturing, Purchasing, and Quality to improve product build consistency and address quality concerns.
  • Program CNC equipment as required, including G-code programming, to support internal manufacturing needs.
  • Participate in training and continuous improvement initiatives and support other technical assignments as needed.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience).
  • 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience in a manufacturing environment (preferred; will consider equivalent experience).
  • Proficiency with CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred) and strong working knowledge of standard engineering documentation.
  • Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and comfort working in ERP systems.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with internal stakeholders and customers (written and verbal).
  • Demonstrated reliability, strong work ethic, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience creating and maintaining BOMs and routings in Microsoft AX & Dynamics 365 (or similar ERP).
  • Experience performing time studies and translating results into routings/standards.
  • CNC programming experience (including G-code) and familiarity with machining/manufacturing processes.
  • Conveyor components or industrial product experience (application engineering exposure is a plus).

Work Environment

This role is primarily office-based with regular interaction on the manufacturing floor. The employee may be exposed to moving mechanical parts, elevated work areas, temperature extremes (non-weather), outdoor weather conditions, and moderate noise levels.
