Description
WE ARE SEEKING: An experienced and well-rounded Senior Mechanical Engineer with a passion for design, creative problem solving, and bringing mechanical concepts to life. In your role, your duties and responsibilities will include the following:
• Leading complex design projects from concept to validated system independently, working through concept development, design, prototyping, and testing and evaluation using sound engineering principles.
• Displaying expertise and mastery of CAD by rapidly turning concepts into feasible, mechanically sound designs ready for fabrication, prototyping, and full-scale manufacturing.
• Supporting and improving Trashology's CAD and engineering and drawing best practices and conducting peer reviews and approvals of drawings from junior engineers.
• Participating in and/or leading brainstorming and concept development sessions.
• Performing modeling and simulations of structural, fluid, and thermal systems to support engineering development process.
• Evaluating systems and designs using a variety of data analysis methods in excel and other platforms and demonstrating the ability to learn and utilize new analytical tools as needed.
• Providing analytical assessments of proposed mechanical, pneumatic/hydraulic, and thermal system designs.
• Working alongside Controls and Electrical Engineering teams to integrate and automate systems and devices, with a strong focus on safety and user-friendly design principles.
• Designing and conducting tests to assess system performance at the prototype level through full-scale integration.
• Conducting failure mode & effect analyses and/or root cause analysis on systems and developing corrective actions plans.
• Other duties as required.
The ideal candidate must be able to meet the following requirements:
• Minimum BS in Mechanical Engineering with at least 5+ years of professional experience, or a MS in mechanical engineering with 3+ years of industry experience.
• Expert in 3D modeling using Onshape/SolidWorks or similar platforms, including detailed part and assembly drawings generation and ability to efficiently create and manage complex assemblies with hundreds of unique components.
• High-level knowledge of design for sheet metal fabrication, machining, welding, turning, and other production and manufacturing processes.
• Strong working understanding of piping, pneumatics, hydraulics, and other industrial process systems and components such as hoppers and conveyors, size reduction equipment, and blending and mixing systems.
• Direct experience with automation and design for PLC controlled systems is preferred.
• Highly motivated, self-starter and collaborator with a desire to complete tasks independently with accuracy and efficiency.
• Proficient in all Microsoft Office applications (Teams, Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint).
• Willingness to perform work functions outside of traditional Mechanical Engineering discipline to support growth and development of company.
• Ability to conduct basic physical tasks such as climbing ladders, working at elevated heights, and ability to lift 40 lbs.
• Experience with and willingness to work with your hands - assembling and testing prototypes, basic fabrication methods, ability to use hand and machine tools (hand drills, wrenches, grinder, drill press, bandsaw, etc.).
