Job Description

Mechanical Engineer Manufacturing (Detroit Metro)

Full-Time | On-Site | Confidential Client

Are you an experienced Mechanical Engineer looking to step into a role where your technical expertise directly impacts equipment performance, reliability, and safety. I'm partnering with a respected manufacturer in the Detroit metro area seeking a mechanically strong, safety minded engineer who thrives in environments involving medium to high voltage industrial equipment and complex production systems.

About the Role

In this position, you'll serve as a key technical contributor supporting plant operations, equipment upgrades, and continuous improvement projects. You will work cross functionally with Production, Maintenance, Controls, and EHS teams to ensure the safe, efficient operation of manufacturing assets particularly those interfacing with medium and high voltage systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, model, and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and full machine systems using CAD tools (SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo, etc.).
• Lead and support machine design projects from concept through installation, debug, and production hand-off.
• Conduct engineering calculations, tolerance analyses, and material selections for new and redesigned equipment.
• Support equipment troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and corrective actions for mechanical failures.
• Partner with automation, controls, and maintenance teams to integrate mechanical systems with electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic components.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation including drawings, BOMs, specifications, and manuals.
• Collaborate with vendors and fabricators on component sourcing, prototype builds, and design-for-manufacturability improvements.
• Contribute to continuous improvement projects focusing on safety, throughput, cycle time, and equipment reliability.
