Level 3 - Mechanical Design Engineer (Advanced)

Job Description

️ Mechanical Design Engineer (Advanced)

Design it. Build it. See it move.

Tired of designing parts that never leave your screen?

At PowerBuilt, you’ll create custom mechanical systems from concept through build—and actually watch them operate on the floor.

Why PowerBuilt?

We’re not your typical engineering environment:

Jeans every day – casual, laid-back office culture

️ Hands-on involvement – see and support your designs in the shop

️ Minimal travel (~<5%) – occasional installs/startups, mostly local

Company-paid travel – no out-of-pocket hassle

Stable & growing – we’ve never had layoffs and are approaching 100 employees

Major investments in our manufacturing facility

In-house fabrication shop – full turnkey solutions under one roof

Work on custom equipment – lift assists, conveyors, robotics integration, and more

Flexible schedule + ability to work from home as needed

What You’ll Do

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you’ll take ownership of designs and support projects from concept through installation.

You’ll:

Design mechanical systems and components in SolidWorks (machined parts, weldments, sheet metal, assemblies)

Create detailed part and assembly drawings, layouts, and BOMs

Perform FEA analysis to validate designs

Research, specify, and source mechanical components

Develop pneumatic schematics and systems (AutoCAD/DraftSight)

Conduct field measurements and verify designs onsite as needed

Support equipment builds, testing, troubleshooting, and installation

Collaborate closely with controls and electrical engineers on automated systems

Lead or participate in design reviews with customers

Mentor junior engineers and support team development

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or similar)

Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, PDM, and AutoCAD

Strong experience designing weldments, machined parts, and assemblies

Experience with FEA and design validation

Proficiency in pneumatic system design and troubleshooting

Ability to independently manage projects and make design decisions

Strong troubleshooting skills (mechanical and pneumatic systems)

Experience collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams

Clear communicator with strong attention to detail

Comfortable working in a hands-on manufacturing environment

Location: Ohio- Bellefontaine or Dublin

Why This Role?

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants:

To own their designs and see them built—not just modeled

To work on custom, non-repetitive equipment and systems

To be part of a collaborative team that builds everything in-house

To grow into a technical leader and mentor others

To have real impact on projects, customers, and outcomes

At PowerBuilt, you don’t just design equipment—you help bring it to life.

PowerBuilt is an equal opportunity employer.
