    Position Summary

    We are seeking a motivated Junior Mechanical Engineer to support the design, development, and documentation of mechanical systems and components. This role is ideal for a recent engineering graduate with CAD experience, particularly SolidWorks, and a strong interest in product development, prototyping, and manufacturing processes.

    Key Responsibilities

    · Create and modify 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings using SolidWorks.

    · Produce manufacturing drawings including tolerances, GD&T, and bills of materials (BOMs).

    · Assist with mechanical design, prototyping, and product development projects.

    · Support prototype builds, design validation, and testing activities.

    · Work with senior engineers to troubleshoot design issues and improve product performance.

    · Collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, quality, and procurement.

    · Maintain accurate engineering documentation and revision control.

    · Participate in design reviews and contribute ideas for product improvements.

    Qualifications

    · Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

    · 0–2 years of engineering experience (internships or co-ops acceptable).

    · Proficiency in SolidWorks for part modeling, assemblies, and drawings.

    · Basic understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes.

    · Familiarity with engineering drawings and tolerancing.

    · Strong problem-solving and analytical skills.

    · Good communication and teamwork abilities.

    Desired Skills

    · Hands-on approach to design, testing, and evaluation of mechanical systems.

    · Familiarity with 3D printing technologies for prototyping or small-batch parts.

    · Basic exposure to electrical components and control systems (not expected to be an expert).

    · Experience supporting prototype builds and iterative design improvements.

    Additional / Preferred Experience

    · Experience with metal additive manufacturing (metal 3D printing).

    · Experience with machining, fabrication, or other prototyping methods.

    · Exposure to PDM systems or engineering revision control.
