Mechanical Engineer – Fabrication Systems

We are seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Junior Mechanical Engineer to join our Fabrication Systems team. This role is ideal for early-career engineers passionate about mechanical design, manufacturing systems, and hands-on problem-solving in a fast-paced, engineering-driven environment. You will support the development, prototyping, and integration of mechanical subsystems used in advanced fabrication setups, including CNC machines, robotic platforms, and automated tooling.

Key Focus Areas:

1. Mechanical Design & 3D Modeling

• • Assist in designing mechanical components and assemblies using CAD software such as SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Inventor.

  • Support DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) principles to ensure compatibility with fabrication methods like CNC machining, welding, and sheet metal work.

2. Fabrication Drawing & Documentation

• • Prepare 2D fabrication drawings, technical documentation, and Bill of Materials (BOMs) under guidance from senior engineers.

  • Ensure design files follow company standards and version control processes.

3. Prototyping & Assembly Support

• • Assist in assembling and testing prototypes or mechanical subsystems in collaboration with technicians and senior engineers.

  • Participate in hands-on troubleshooting and refinement of mechanical systems.

4. Materials & Components Research

• • Help evaluate materials, standard components (bearings, actuators, fasteners), and suppliers to support engineering decisions.

  • Work with procurement and supply chain to support sourcing activities.

5. Cross-Team Collaboration & Learning

• • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including controls, automation, and manufacturing.

  • Participate in design reviews, team meetings, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Core Responsibilities:

• • Contribute to the design and documentation of parts and assemblies for fabrication systems.

  • Learn and apply industry best practices for mechanical engineering and manufacturing support.

  • Support the engineering team in prototype development, testing, and iterative improvement.

  • Maintain clear and organized records of design work, revisions, and test results.

  • Assist in resolving basic design or fabrication issues encountered during production.

Required Qualifications:

• • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.

  • Familiarity with 3D CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Inventor).

  • Basic understanding of mechanical components and fabrication processes (e.g., machining, welding, laser cutting).

  • Strong problem-solving attitude and willingness to learn hands-on.

  • Good communication and organizational skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• • Internship or academic project experience in a fabrication shop, machine lab, or mechanical workshop.

  • Exposure to CAM tools, CNC machining, or 3D printing workflows.

  • Familiarity with GD&T, tolerancing, and mechanical standards is a plus.

  • Interest in robotics, automation, or industrial machinery design.
