Position Summary We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design, develop, improve, test, and maintain equipment supporting Deluxe s fulfillment operations. This role spans the full design spectrum — from a single custom bracket to a complete machine — and covers the full product lifecycle from CAD concept through hands-on build, installation, and field deployment. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who brings strong mechanical design fundamentals, a proven design-to-build portfolio, and the willingness to get hands-on with equipment. Within the ESS team, this engineer also serves as a specialized escalation resource — brought in when complex equipment problems require deeper mechanical or design expertise to resolve. Travel averages up to 30% annually, typically in concentrated project-driven spurts around installations and commissioning events. Key Responsibilities Design mechanical components and assemblies using 3D CAD across the full complexity spectrum — from simple fabricated parts and brackets to complete custom machines and integrated equipment systems. Develop detailed engineering drawings and design documentation suitable for fabrication by internal teams or outside vendors; maintain archived design files for long-term support. Author equipment specifications and technical requirement documents for both internally developed and OEM-sourced equipment, ensuring clear standards for performance, quality, and safety. Research and evaluate market-available print, packaging, and fulfillment equipment; perform detailed calculations to establish manufacturing, construction, and installation standards. Source and specify custom and off-the-shelf components; coordinate procurement for beta and production equipment projects. Work independently and with cross-functional teams to validate business cases, build detailed project plans, and execute to completion. Test and validate OEM and internal equipment designs for throughput, quality, and robustness — from prototype through production installation. Coordinate and manage vendor relationships; evaluate supplier capabilities and lead vendor qualification activities. Develop and maintain technical documentation including SOPs, work instructions, and equipment specifications. Direct and train individuals supporting engineering projects and equipment operations. Maintain professional and technical knowledge through educational workshops, professional publications, and industry trade shows. Act as a deep technical escalation resource within ESS — engaged when the team has exhausted standard troubleshooting and needs specialized mechanical or design expertise to resolve a critical equipment issue. Provide remote or on-site escalation support as needed; travel to affected facilities when the situation requires hands-on assessment or intervention. Travel up to 30% annually to U.S. and Canadian Deluxe facilities, primarily in concentrated project-driven periods. A valid passport is required.
