Requirements • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering required; M.S. preferred. • 7+ years of industrial machinery design experience. • Demonstrated experience designing production machinery, not just modifying existing equipment. • Experience taking a machine from concept through production commissioning. • Web handling, printing, or converting machinery experience strongly preferred. • Proficiency in SolidWorks required. • Experience with PDM / data management preferred. • Strong understanding of mechanical systems, machine design principles, fabrication methods, tolerances, and equipment integration. • Ability to produce detailed fabrication drawings, BOMs, and procurement documentation. • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to design practical solutions for manufacturing challenges. • Strong communication skills with the ability to work across Engineering, Automation, Production, Maintenance, and Operations. • Comfortable working in a hands-on manufacturing environment and supporting equipment through design, build, installation, and commissioning.
