Mechanical Engineer

Join a dynamic team where innovation meets practical application. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in transforming groundbreaking concepts into operational reality on the production floor. This position demands a hands-on approach and a high degree of collaboration with cross-functional teams, making it perfect for someone who thrives in a multifaceted environment.
Key Responsibilities:

• Drive the journey from conceptual equipment design to full-scale production readiness, including all stages of development and testing.
• Lead both external equipment suppliers and internal design teams in the development and deployment of high-performance machinery.
• Establish station-level requirements such as automation levels, buffering, and redundancy.
• Collaborate with industrial engineering and production teams to devise effective material flow strategies.
• Define utility needs and devise layout strategies for efficient setup.
• Conduct PFMEAs, create timing charts, and perform risk assessments to ensure comprehensive planning and safety.
• Supervise installation procedures and coordinate with facilities and utilities for a seamless startup.
• Implement validation plans and develop complete documentation, including Manufacturing Instructions and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Controls, Chemical, or Industrial Engineering.
• Minimum of 4 years of experience in manufacturing engineering with a strong background in equipment development.
• Proven track record of successful equipment installations and full-line implementations.
• Proficiency in CAD software, particularly SolidWorks; knowledge of Catia is advantageous.
• In-depth understanding of tolerance stack-ups, safety PLCs, guarding, and LOTO protocols.
• Experience with PLCs, including Allen Bradley, Siemens, and Beckhoff.
• Familiarity with MES architecture and database systems; experience with Python/MySQL is a plus.
• Willingness to travel as necessary, both domestically and internationally.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out: Be part of an exciting industry that offers the opportunity to contribute to plant startups. Engage in a role that challenges you to innovate and drive tangible results.
This position is based in Memphis and requires on-site presence, providing a unique chance to immerse yourself in the full spectrum of engineering and operational activities.
