Job Description

Job Description

Are you a seasoned Mechanical Engineer ready to design the future of food technology? Blentech Corporation is a global leader in custom-engineered food processing systems. For over 35 years, we have blended advanced engineering with sanitary design to build machines that power the world’s largest food brands. We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer III —a high-level individual contributor and technical leader—to join our team in Santa Rosa, CA.

The Role : Engineering at Scale

As a Level III Engineer, you aren’t just making tweaks to existing designs; you are owning the engineering lifecycle for complex, multi-million dollar projects. You will design massive, high-torque systems involving heat transfer, material science, and advanced automation.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Custom Machine Design : Lead the design and development of custom food processing equipment (cookers, mixers, and material handling) using SolidWorks.
  • Technical Analysis : Perform FEA (Finite Element Analysis), thermal calculations, and fluid dynamics modeling to ensure structural integrity and performance.
  • Project Leadership : Serve as the technical lead on large-scale projects, coordinating between sales, fabrication, and automation to ensure "on-time" delivery.
  • Sanitary Innovation : Apply hygienic design principles (3-A, USDA, EHEDG) to ensure equipment is safe for global food production.
  • Manufacturing Support : Collaborate directly with our on-site fabrication shop to optimize designs for manufacturability (DFM).

Qualifications

  • Experience : 8+ years of mechanical engineering experience, preferably in heavy machinery, industrial equipment, or food / pharma manufacturing.
  • Education : BS in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) required; MSME or PE license is a plus.
  • Software Mastery : Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks and PDM systems.
  • Specialized Knowledge : Strong understanding of thermodynamics, power transmission (motors / gearboxes), and stainless-steel fabrication.
  • Communication : Ability to present complex technical concepts to both internal teams and global customers.
  • We offer the stability of an established company with the agility of a custom design-built firm.

  • Direct Impact : Watch your designs move from the screen to the shop floor and eventually to global food facilities.
  • 100% Paid Benefits : Medical, Dental, and Vision premiums for the employee are 100% company paid.
  • Financial Growth : 401(k) with 4% company match after 6 months of employment.
  • Work-Life Balance : Generous PTO (5.66 hours accrued per pay period) and a collaborative, professional culture.
  • Compensation (DOE)

  • Pay Range : $116,200 – $127,300
  • Full-Time : On-site in Santa Rosa, CA.
  • How to Apply

    If you are a driven engineer with a passion for excellence and a "go the extra mile" attitude, we want to meet you. Please apply at https : / / blentech.applytojob.com / apply  with your resume , a portfolio of your work (if available) , and a list of professional references.

    This is an on-site position at our Santa Rosa office. You must be within driving distance.

    We do not accept recruiters or international applications.
