PpAs part of the Project Engineering group, the Mechanical Project Engineer reports to the Project Mechanical Engineering Team Leader. The Mechanical Project Engineer executes the assigned Mechanical Engineering tasks supporting the implementation of automated machining systems, integrating Makino machining centers with part delivery systems and other ancillary equipment supporting the machining process. The Mechanical Project Engineer is able to execute the assigned tasks without much involvement with the group’s leadership. The automated systems utilize various automation products including 6-axis robots (fixed pedestal, floortrack mount, and toploader), vision systems, marking systems, conveyors, etc. to automate the flow of material through Makino machining cells. /p h3ESSENTIAL DUTIES, RESPONSIBILITIES /h3 pInclude the following. /p ul liPerform robot reach studies to confirm placement of machines and equipment for system layout. /li liComplete mechanical analysis including: dimensional tolerance stack up analysis, basic understanding to calculate stress, deflection, and moments. /li liSupport fabrication and assembly of projects as required while being responsible for quality, detail, and clarity of prints. /li liProvide guidance to Automation Support Engineers for the assembly of mechanical designs. /li liEffectively communicates problems/issues with other engineers within the Project Engineering group and 3 rd party/contract engineering resources to collaborate on solutions to ensure all technical issues are resolved in a timely and cost-effective manner. /li liTroubleshoot technical issues reported from the field and provide robust solutions. /li liParticipate in risk assessments of automation equipment. /li liCollaborate with contractors and other engineers assigned to projects. /li liVisit suppliers and customers as required to check on the progress and resolve issues with the manufacture of parts and installation of the automated systems. /li liParticipate in Project Meetings regularly scheduled by the Project Manager. /li liComplete tasks with minimal supervision. /li liProvide recommendations for improvements to Mechanical Engineering tasks to improve efficiency and/or reduce costs. /li liProvide technical advice and support to the Mechanical Engineering team, as required, during the development, design, and installation of Makino automated systems. /li liInterface with customers to discuss design progress, options, and issues as needed. /li liDirect outside suppliers of equipment for the automated machining systems to ensure the requirements of the equipment are satisfied and delivered by the supplier. /li liLead, organize, and participate in design review meetings for internal, and outsourced designs. /li liReview cost estimates and proposals for mechanical project work ensure that the project budgets are maintained and identify potential issues. /li liPrepare engineering cost estimates for automated equipment mechanical design options. /li /ul pThe Mechanical Project Engineer does not have direct supervisory responsibilities for direct reports but is expected to provide leadership and guidance to less experienced Mechanical Engineers and Automation Support Engineers during the execution of project work. /p pThe Mechanical Project Engineer may have dotted line supervisory responsibility for 3 rd party contract engineering resources during the execution of a project. /p h3QUALIFICATIONS /h3 ul liAbility to work well in a dynamic environment as a team player and interact with peers, customers, and suppliers professionally. /li liAbility to work on multiple projects simultaneously. /li liEffective verbal and written communication skills. /li liStrong organizational skills and attention to detail. /li liStrong Knowledge of sizing and selection of mechanical components and hardware, with familiarity with pneumatic control used in mechanical design. /li liInvolvement in designing commercial mechanisms and machines with an understanding of design for manufacturability, design for assembly, and design for serviceability. /li liExtensive knowledge of the United States and international standards as applicable, such as OSHA, ANSI, CE, ISO, RIA, etc., and robotic standards and risk assessments. /li liProficient CAD skills directed to AutoCAD and SolidWorks or equivalent CAD Packages. /li liSignificant experience in troubleshooting issues and finding root cause by demonstrating strong analytical skills and ability to distill problems to engineering language and techniques. /li liAbility to read and implement electrical schematics into mechanical designs. /li liExperience with a material resource planning program.
