Mechanical Systems Design Expert

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Alabama, +12 more states.

📋 Description

• Act as the technical expert for projects involving mechanical structural support assemblies and coolant pumping components.

• Facilitate collaboration between engineering, manufacturing, and field execution to ensure that metal frame designs are structurally robust, cost-efficient, and feasible for production.

• Guarantee that frames can withstand dynamic loads, maintain proper component alignment, and endure external forces and environmental conditions.

• Participate in both immediate and future research and development initiatives.

• Develop, verify, and enhance detailed metal framing designs and shop drawings utilizing 3D modeling software such as SolidWorks.

• Ensure that framing designs adhere to fabrication constraints, optimize material usage, and minimize tooling and waste rates.

• Confirm that metal frame designs comply with local building regulations, load specifications, and industry norms.

• Assess structural failures, identify interferences, and address manufacturing defects, providing data-driven solutions.

• Serve as the main technical contact among clients, manufacturing teams, and both internal and external supply partners.

• Guide engineers, technicians, and production personnel on best practices in mechanical system design.

⛳️ Requirements
