Nature & Scope:
Positional Overview
Imagine Staffing is recruiting for a Mechanical Design Engineer on behalf of our client, an established custom industrial equipment manufacturer in Tonawanda, NY.
This position supports the engineering definition of custom products for fabrication, translating project specifications and customer requirements into accurate, manufacturable designs.
 
The ideal candidate is proficient in Autodesk Inventor, comfortable producing shop-ready fabrication drawings, and eager to collaborate across multiple industrial equipment product lines.
 
Candidates with experience creating welding and fabrication drawings, 3D parametric models, and bills of materials are especially encouraged to apply.
 
Both developing and experienced designers will be considered. Compensation will reflect relevant Inventor, equipment design, and manufacturing experience.
 
Role & Responsibility:
Tasks That Will Lead To Your Success
  • Create detailed 3D parametric models in Autodesk Inventor and produce accurate 2D shop-ready fabrication drawings.
  • Develop fabrication and welding details, mechanical component drawings, and bills of materials (BOMs).
  • Review project specifications, customer expectations, and P&IDs to support mechanical design decisions.
  • Select mechanical components and prepare clear technical information for vendors and purchasing.
  • Apply design-for-manufacturability principles, including GD&T, tolerances, fits, and surface finishes as appropriate.
  • Collaborate with project engineers, production, and other engineering teams on conceptual and detailed equipment designs.
  • Support fabrication and assembly, respond to shop-floor questions, and incorporate as-built updates.
  • Track engineering schedules, identify documentation gaps, and communicate risks or potential delays.
  • Use Syteline ERP as needed and maintain accurate project design records.
  • Work across multiple custom equipment product lines, adapting to changing project priorities.
  • Apply relevant ASME piping and pressure-vessel standards when required, with appropriate engineering support.
 
Skills & Experience
Qualifications That Will Help You Thrive
  • Demonstrated hands-on proficiency with Autodesk Inventor is essential.
  • Experience creating 3D mechanical models and 2D drawings; fabrication and welding drawings are highly valued.
  • Ability to interpret mechanical specifications and communicate designs clearly to manufacturing teams.
  • Experience in custom equipment, industrial machinery, or related mechanical design is preferred.
  • Associate’s degree with relevant Inventor experience and internship exposure, or a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field, will be considered.
  • Junior candidates with strong Inventor skills and trainable GD&T knowledge are welcome.
  • Strong organization, attention to detail, problem-solving, and ability to manage concurrent projects.
  • Willingness to learn multiple product lines and collaborate in a shared engineering environment.
  • Clear communication with engineering, manufacturing, operations, and external vendors.
 
Experience & Education Preferred
  • Prior work with custom OEM equipment, weldments, sheet metal, or industrial fabrication.
    • Hands-on manufacturing-floor or assembly support experience.
    • Working knowledge of GD&T, component fits, tolerances, and design for manufacturability.
    • Experience with P&IDs, mechanical BOMs, and engineering change documentation.
  • Familiarity with Syteline ERP or ASME piping/pressure-vessel codes.
  • Two or more years of related design experience is helpful but not mandatory for junior applicants.

What We Offer
  • Salary range of $65,000–$80,000, aligned to relevant experience and skills.
  • Flexible daily start times within the standard business schedule.
  • Friday work-from-home eligibility after becoming fully trained and comfortable in the role.
  • Opportunity to design custom industrial equipment and work closely with fabrication and assembly teams.
  • Exposure to multiple equipment product lines within a collaborative engineering organization.
