Mechanical Engineer

Job Description Job Description Mechanical Engineer: Build the Infrastructure of the Future Are you ready to see your designs on every highway? We're looking for a hungry, hands-on Mechanical Engineer to join our team in Pembroke. This isn't a role where you'll be stuck in a cubicle doing data entry; you'll be in the lab and on the production floor, taking electro-mechanical systems from a 3D model to a fully realized, ruggedized product that stands up to the elements. The Mission You will be the mechanical backbone of our design team, focusing on Highway Variable Message Signs (VMS), Lane Control systems, and ruggedized controller cabinets. These are high-stakes, high-durability products where your choice of materials and design integrity directly impact public safety and infrastructure reliability. What You'll Actually Do * Design & Model: Use SolidWorks to create robust 3D models and precise 2D drawings that comply with ASME standards . * Prototype & Iterate: Take advantage of 3D printing and rapid prototyping to test concepts before they hit the production line. * Master the BOM: Own the Bill of Materials and assembly process, ensuring that what you design can be built efficiently and accurately. * Bridge the Gap: Work directly with manufacturing to support the full lifecycle of the product. You'll spend time on the floor, getting your hands dirty and seeing exactly how your designs come to life. * Cross-Train: This is a multidisciplinary environment. If you've ever wanted to learn how the electronics or software side of the "Sign" works, this is your playground. Your Toolkit * Education: Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent "battle-tested" experience). * Experience: 1-5 years. We love "green" engineers who are eager to learn, but you must know your way around SolidWorks . * The "Maker" Mindset: Experience with 3D printing and an understanding of material selection for real-world environments (heat, vibration, moisture). * Self-Drive: You don't wait for a task list. You see a problem, you troubleshoot it, and you execute with minimal supervision. Physical Reality You're not just a designer; you're a builder. You should be comfortable standing for periods on the production floor and occasionally lifting equipment up to 40 lbs.
