Mechanical Engineer – Contract (2 Months)

Plymouth, MI

About the Role:

We are seeking a hands-on Mechanical Engineer for a short-term contract assignment supporting machine vision and automation equipment development. This role is ideal for a highly practical engineer who is equally comfortable designing in CAD and working directly on the shop floor. You will support mechanical fixture design, fabrication coordination, and equipment assembly/integration for industrial automation systems.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design mechanical fixtures, brackets, and assemblies using SolidWorks
  • Produce detailed engineering drawings for fabrication and machine shop use
  • Collaborate with machine shops and vendors to ensure accurate part manufacturing
  • Support hands-on mechanical assembly and integration of equipment
  • Assist with fit-up, debugging, and mechanical adjustments during build and test phases
  • Work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to support rapid project execution

Required Qualifications:

  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (3D modeling, assemblies, and detailed drawings)
  • Experience designing fixtures, tooling, or machine components
  • Ability to create manufacturing-ready drawings with proper tolerancing/GD&T
  • Hands-on experience in mechanical assembly and integration
  • Experience working with machine shops or fabrication vendors
  • Comfortable working in a shop/manufacturing environment

Preferred Experience:

  • Background in machine vision, robotics, or industrial automation
  • Experience with custom equipment or special machine design
  • Manufacturing or tooling engineering experience
  • Exposure to prototype builds and iterative mechanical development

Ideal Candidate Profile:

We are looking for a mechanically strong, detail-oriented engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. The ideal candidate can move quickly from CAD design to real-world implementation and is comfortable supporting builds directly on the floor.
