Mechanical Design Engineer

Overview

Bring your mechanical design expertise to projects that move from concept and analysis to the manufacturing floor.

At UE Manufacturing, you will help develop heavy equipment and industrial products, partner across engineering and operations, and solve practical technical challenges that directly influence quality, delivery, and customer outcomes.

This opportunity is well suited for an experienced mechanical design engineer who enjoys owning details, collaborating with shop teams and customers, and turning three-dimensional concepts into production-ready designs.

Responsibilities



* Create and modify 3D models and 2D drawings for mechanical components and assemblies using CAD software.


* Support the design, development, and testing of mechanical and electromechanical systems from concept through completion.


* Apply customer requirements, company standards, engineering methods, and industry best practices to heavy equipment designs.


* Coordinate mechanical and electrical system integration with customers, engineers, management, manufacturing, and other internal teams.


* Review Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and execute Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) in accordance with company standards.


* Build project timelines, communicate progress, and prepare technical reports and project documentation.


* Participate in design reviews, evaluate feedback, and use sound engineering judgment to implement design improvements.


* Partner with shop staff and other departments to resolve technical issues and keep work moving.


* Engage customers, contractors, vendors, and other stakeholders to support timely project execution.


* Travel occasionally to customer sites, vendor locations, and other company facilities.

Qualifications



* Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field from an ABET-accredited institution.


* 2-4 years of experience designing industrial, heavy, or power generation equipment, including skid packages, trailers, machinery, or similar manufactured products, with 2-4 years of hands-on 3D mechanical design experience using SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Creo, or comparable CAD software.


* Working knowledge of mechanical engineering principles and the ability to develop accurate, quality-focused designs.


* Ability to solve technical problems, manage details, make progress with moderate supervision, and work effectively both independently and as part of a team.


* Strong written and verbal communication skills and the ability to maintain positive working relationships with coworkers, customers, and vendors.


* Commitment to safe work practices and company processes and procedures.


* Experience with SolidWorks or Autodesk Inventor.


* Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools.


* Basic project management capabilities, including scheduling and task coordination.
