Job Description

Location : Downers Grove, IL

Industrial Kinetics designs and builds engineered to order conveyor and material handling systems. In this role, you'll begin by learning our products, CAD standards, fabrication practices, and design processes. As you develop, you will take on more engineering responsibility including concept design, calculations, component selection, problem solving, and eventually full ownership of machine designs. In addition to the CAD role, this is a role designed to grow and develop into a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer.

Company Overview :

At Industrial Kinetics, we're not just about conveyor systems; we're about revolutionizing the way goods move efficiently and seamlessly. Family owned and operated since 1969; we have been creating innovative material handling concepts that make a quantifiable difference to the bottom lines of our ever-growing list of national and international clients to keep them ahead of their competition for years to come. From the simplest conveyor equipment to the complexities of highly technical robotic parts manipulation, we are our customers' single-source answer to even the most difficult projects. To learn more about Industrial Kinetics, please visit us at www.iki.com.

In support of our incredible team, Industrial Kinetics offers :

  • Competitive salary : The hiring range for the role is $60,000-$65,000 annually and will be dependent on experience, skills and education
  • 401k with company match
  • Vacation, Paid Leave and paid holidays
  • Medical insurance (Six different options)
  • Dental and Vision Insurance
  • Life Insurance

Position Summary : Reporting to the Engineering Manager, this position will assist in developing custom machine and conveyor concepts and support senior engineers with design calculations and mechanism development. You will be able to learn about conveyor, sheet metal design, and fabrication constraints.

Responsibilities :

  • Begin with SolidWorks modeling, detail drawings, and subassembly design
  • Learn IK conveyor standards, sheet-metal design, and fabrication constraints
  • Support senior engineers with design calculations and mechanism development
  • Assist in developing custom machines and conveyor concepts
  • Produce clean, accurate fabrication and assembly drawings
  • Participate in design reviews, brainstorming, and problem-solving sessions
  • Learn how designs move through fabrication, assembly, installation, and service
  • Grow into full project ownership (concept → design → fabrication → installation)
  • Requirements :

  • This position requires applicants to be legally authorized to work in the United States. No visa sponsorship is available at this time.
  • Associates or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • SolidWorks proficiency (academic experience acceptable)
  • Fundamental understanding of machine elements
  • Curiosity, mechanical intuition, and eagerness to learn
  • Interest in conveyor systems, automation, or custom machinery
  • Strong communication and teamwork skills
  • Desire to grow into a senior engineering role (not a pure CAD role)
  • For Consideration :

    If you are looking for an opportunity to work on a small collaborative engineering team where your work matters and an opportunity for hands-on learning with shop, field, and project teams, please submit your resume by clicking the apply button.

    Industrial Kinetics is an equal opportunity employer.
