  • Assess engineering drawings and specifications to ascertain shape, dimensions, hardness, and other critical factors in the development of equipment, processes, and products.
  • Conduct engineering calculations related to material strength, speeds, horsepower, temperature, pressure, and force as they pertain to project designs.
  • Evaluate designs and systems for adherence to relevant standards (e.g., machine safety, AGC, and/or customer-specific requirements).
  • Collaborate with electrical designers to review electrical requirements concerning input and output devices.
  • Analyze machine operations and sequences with the project team.
  • Select suitable purchased components for mechanical assemblies and generate requisitions with appropriate delivery timelines.
  • Create working drawings, detailed drawings, and bills of materials for equipment, sub-assemblies, and main assemblies utilizing SolidWorks.
  • Review drawings for precision, material selection, machining techniques, finishes, and hardness.
  • Support the manufacturing team by addressing any challenges during the build, debugging, and integration phases of projects.
  • Engage with customers and internal technical and engineering teams, as well as vendors, to gather technical information and specifications.
  • Communicate design modifications to the AGC team or relevant manager.
  • Responsible for conveying time estimates, resource needs, and progress updates on design tasks to the Automation Engineering Manager.
  • Occasionally supervise the mechanical design efforts at the project level, delegating tasks to team members.
  • Organize project documentation, including quotes, correspondence, requisitions, drawings, and schedules.
  • Assist in proposals and estimating mechanical design labor hours.
  • Contribute to the development of design and departmental standards.
  • Periodically oversee Co-op students and Junior Designers on various projects.
  • Adhere to all health and safety regulations and procedures.
  • Coordinate initiatives for continuous improvement.
  • Perform other related duties as necessary.

Qualifications:

  • Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Over 5 years of experience in special-purpose equipment and/or automation design.
  • Experience with robotic cells and assembly systems is advantageous.
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks is required.
  • Familiarity with common machine shop techniques is beneficial.
  • Demonstrated ability to conceptualize and develop solutions for complex design challenges, often from sketches or verbal instructions.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of pneumatic systems and electrical devices (e.g., switches, load cells, LVDTs) is essential.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Capability to both give and receive direction effectively.
  • Strong teamwork skills.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, at all organizational levels in a professional manner.
  • High integrity and dependability, coupled with a strong sense of urgency and results orientation.
