Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical EngineerLocation: HYBRID, Nashville, TN area (Onsite 2-3 days/week)Position Overview:We’re partnering with an established industrial material handling equipment manufacturer to add a Mechanical Engineer to its in-house design team. The group is close-knit and low on ego, and people jump in to help one another solve tough design problems, whether they’re working solo or together.You will own the design of material handling equipment, from individual parts up to full systems. You’ll build 3D models, produce detailed fabrication drawings, and turn customer requirements into working designs. It’s a strong fit for an engineer with a few years of hands-on design behind them who is ready to lead projects and guide other team members.Responsibilities:Design material handling equipment and its components at both the part and system levelBuild 3D models in Inventor and detailed 2D drawings in AutoCAD MechanicalProduce shop drawings for weldments, assemblies and individual components, and keep CAD files up to dateServe as the go-to resource on customer specs and apply them to new and existing designsPartner with sales to gather the details needed to meet each customer’s requirementsWork alongside production to correct and refine drawings as builds move forwardLead projects and guide other engineers or designers when neededSupport fabrication, installation and troubleshooting of mechanical equipment as projects requireQualifications:BS in mechanical engineering (or a closely related engineering field)4+ years of mechanical design experience, ideally with material handling or industrial equipmentHands-on experience with Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD MechanicalTrack record producing shop-ready drawings (weldments, components and assemblies)Solid grasp of engineering principles, with the ability to analyze more complex designsComfortable working from customer specifications and translating them into designsSound judgment to plan your own work and juggle several projects at onceWorking knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook)Willingness to put in extra time when a deadline calls for itWhy This Role Stands Out:Real ownership of designs, from first model to finished equipment on the floorA collaborative, no-ego team that values creative problem solvingA path to lead projects and grow into a senior engineering roleHybrid schedule with only 2-3 days a week onsite
