Our deep industry expertise and end-to-end capabilities make us the ideal partner for companies seeking cutting-edge automation, process control, and engineered systems.\nWho We Are Looking For \nWe are looking for an experienced Senior Mechanical Design Engineer who owns the engineering behind custom process equipment and stays hands-on in the model. You design skid-based, modular and containerized systems in 2D and 3D, back them with calculations and analysis, and take them from concept to a validated, buildable design. \nWhether your background is in process equipment, pressure vessels and heat exchangers, industrial machinery or engineering services, you make sound engineering calls, balance performance with manufacturability and cost, and know when to bring in specialists. \nYou are comfortable working directly with clients. You communicate clearly, ask the right questions, and synthesize their input into clear, documented project requirements and a design basis the team can build from. \nThis position is based onsite in Rochester and/or Rush, NY, with occasional travel to customer and supplier locations, typically less than 25%. \nWhat You Get To Do \nLead the mechanical design of industrial process systems, especially skid-based and modular equipment, from requirements through release, commissioning support and handoff. \nModel and manage SolidWorks parts, assemblies, weldments and sheet metal, and AutoCAD 2D/3D layouts. \nDevelop general arrangements, equipment layouts, fabrication and assembly drawings, and bills of material. \nDefine technical requirements, design bases and specifications with clients and the project team. \nPerform engineering calculations, and select and size equipment such as pumps, heat exchangers, vessels, tanks, valves and drives. \n Run simulation and analysis (FEA, structural, thermal, pipe stress) and ensure designs meet ASME B31.3, ASME Section VIII, and client requirements. \nLead technical design reviews, evaluate design solutions, and provide guidance to project teams and customers. \nPartner with fabrication and assembly teams to resolve technical challenges and support successful equipment builds and installations. \nSupport project planning, technical proposals, and engineering estimates. \nMentor junior designers and engineers, providing technical guidance and reviewing design and engineering work. \nImprove engineering and design standards, tools, and processes to enhance quality, consistency, and efficiency. \nWhat You Bring To The Team \nRequired \nA BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field. \n7+ years of mechanical design engineering experience in process equipment, industrial systems or engineering services. \nAdvanced proficiency in 3D and 2D modelling software including SolidWorks and working AutoCAD, or similar tools. \nStrong experience with engineering calculations, equipment sizing and selection, and design analysis (SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS or similar). \nWorking knowledge of applicable codes and standards such as ASME Section VIII, and ASME B31.3. \nAbility to independently manage complex design assignments from concept through detailed design and release. \nExperience reviewing technical drawings, solving design challenges, and collaborating with engineering and manufacturing teams. \nStrong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to provide technical guidance to other designers. \nAn associate degree, bachelor's degree, technical certification, or equivalent professional experience in Mechanical Design, Drafting, Engineering Technology, or a related field. \nCommitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement. \nAbility to work onsite in Rochester and/or Rush, NY, with occasional travel up to 25%.. \nPreferred \nProfessional Engineer (PE) license, or EIT with a plan to pursue licensure. \nExperience designing skid-mounted or modular process systems, pressure vessels or heat exchangers. \nFamiliarity with engineering analysis and simulation tools such as SolidWorks FEA, ANSYS, or Caesar II. \nExperience with AutoCAD Plant 3D and 3D point clouds. \nExperience developing technical estimates, supporting proposals, or participating in customer design reviews. \nExperience mentoring junior engineers and designers or leading technical design activities. \nKnowledge of industrial safety standards and equipment design requirements. \nThe base salary range for this position is $91,000 - $137,000 per year. This range represents the Company’s good faith estimate of the base compensation for this role at the time of posting. Actual compensation will be determined based on several factors, including but not limited to relevant experience, skills, qualifications, internal equity, and geographic location.
