Mechanical Engineering Leader

Create innovative new product designs from research, design concept to production, often clean sheet.
Interface with customer to establish design requirements and product attributes.
Drive concept ideation – white board / CAD / FEA.Establish overall system architecture, define and delegate subsystems to other teams.
Interface with others in a multi-disciplinary team environment including electrical, software, industrial design, and controls as well as systems engineers, product managers and external vendors.
Evaluate designs through simulation, prototype testing and requirement verification.
Develop FMEAs, demonstrate design viability considering human factors, risk, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, weight and cost.
Transition concepts into products using 3D CAD Solid Modeling, defining requirements, selecting materials and processes, interacting with suppliers and manufacturers, and documenting the development process.
Troubleshoot design failure modes to root cause and develop quick, effective solutions.
Technical review and approval for all mechanical component and assembly designs, analysis, and testing.
Lead a team of 4-5 personnel, CAD designers, engineers.

Needs for success:

Mechanical Engineering Degree (or similar) from a 4-year institution
Minimum 8 year’s experience in product design.
Experience with small mechanism and plastic injection molded part design a plus.
Hands-on experience with mechanical design tools and software (CAD, FEA, etc) and tolerance analysis.
Fluids or Pumps are a big plus.
