Mechanical Engineer at Lebanon Facility

The Mechanical Engineer studies product blueprints, manufacturing processes, and/or customer specifications to conceptualize the equipment design required to produce a product. Using knowledge of equipment and manufacturing processes, the Mechanical Engineer creates drawings for accurate interpretation of the design and performs auxiliary layouts and detailing activities.

Key (Essential) Responsibilities

• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions.
• Design and develop mechanical systems and components based on project requirements.
• Perform engineering calculations, simulations, and analyses (e.g., FEA, FMEA) to ensure the system meets performance and safety standards.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure projects are completed on time and within budget, to the customer's satisfaction.
• Create 2D and 3D CAD Models and technical drawings with BOM for the components and assemblies.
• Select commercial components and reviews/develops bill of material (BOM) included in equipment construction.
• Interpret the project's performance requirements and determine timelines and sequencing.
• Provide accurate equipment sequence of operations in collaboration with controls engineers to develop timing and device charts.
• Support mechanical systems and functional understanding to aid in (on-floor/on-site) debugging support.
• Conform to cost and time considerations estimated for the project.
• Once the job is completed, the employee is responsible for providing the customer with accurately updated drawings for the final documentation package.
• Confere with the customer, engineering staff, and project team leaders during the progress of the project and recommend design modifications to address equipment malfunctions.
• Must be able and willing to work overtime when required to meet timelines and workload.
