Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)Senior Mechanical Engineer Chicago, IL | $100,000-$120,000+ | Full-TimeWe're seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to join a growing engineering team focused on designing highly customized industrial machinery. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving complex design challenges, working on one-of-a-kind equipment, and seeing projects through from concept to final assembly. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a low-volume, custom machine design environment and enjoys collaborating closely with manufacturing, machining, and assembly teams.
What You'll Do:
- Design custom machinery, tooling, and mechanical assemblies using 3D CAD software
- Create detailed manufacturing drawings, including GD&T and dimensioning
- Modify existing machine designs to meet unique customer requirements
- Develop custom components and subassemblies from concept through production
- Work closely with machinists and machine builders to ensure designs are manufacturable
- Support fabrication, assembly, and troubleshooting on the manufacturing floor
- Review designs throughout the build process and resolve engineering issues
- Estimate engineering effort and manage project responsibilities from start to finish
What We're Looking For:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience)5+ years of mechanical design experience in a custom machinery or industrial equipment environment
- Experience designing custom parts, assemblies, and tooling
- Strong 3D CAD experience (Creo/PTC Creo preferred)
- Experience with parametric modeling and manufacturing drawing creation
- Solid understanding of GD&T and design for manufacturability
- Experience supporting fabrication, machining, and equipment assembly
- Ability to work independently while managing multiple engineering projects
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with custom machine design or special-purpose equipment
- Familiarity with welding, fabrication, and metal joining processes
- Experience in aerospace, defense, or other advanced manufacturing industriesITAR experience is a plus
Why Join Us?
- Design unique, highly engineered custom machinery-not repetitive products
- Own projects from concept through fabrication and final machine build
- Work closely with experienced machinists, builders, and fellow engineers
- Collaborative engineering environment where your ideas have a direct impact
- Strong long-term career growth as the engineering team continues to expand
- Flexible start and end times with a primarily onsite work environment
If you're a hands-on mechanical engineer who enjoys custom equipment design and wants to make a meaningful impact on complex engineering projects, we'd love to hear from you.
