Mechanical Simulation Engineer

Description

Description:

• Design, manufacture, install and maintain steel processing equipment. From concept to completion engineer will oversee every aspect of their project.  They work closely with millwrights and machinists to troubleshoot problems and engineer solutions under tight deadlines.

Responsibilities:

• Use engineering expertise, to analyze and design steel processing equipment

• Use Solidworks to generate machine and fabrication drawings based on part and assembly models

• Conduct cost analysis on corporate projects to estimate payback

• Purchase material, components and controls for large capital projects

• Work with suppliers to ensure cost effectiveness and timely delivery

• Maximize processing equipment based on operator and supervisor feedback

• Review damaged equipment and recommend modifications to prevent future failures

• Improve designs to address millwrights and machinist’s feedback

• Reverse-engineer equipment for in-house replication

· Use Simulation Software to simulate metal forming processes (stamping, tube bending). Assist customers in optimizing their product designs for cost, weight, performance, and manufacturability.

· Partner with our tooling engineers to recommend and coordinate product design improvements and changes to our tooling suppliers.
