Job Title: Mechanical Engineer / Mechanical Designer (Reverse Engineering Short-Term Project)

Job Description

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer or experienced Mechanical Designer to support a time-sensitive reverse engineering project. You measure a machine, recreate it as a precise 3D CAD model in CREO, and produce detailed manufacturing drawings to support finite element analysis and fabrication. This is an approximately two-month engagement where maintaining a fast and accurate project pace is critical to meeting customer deadlines.

Responsibilities

  • Reverse engineer mechanical components from an existing physical machine and translate them into accurate digital representations.
  • Take detailed measurements of dismantled components and convert them into precise 3D CAD models using CREO.
  • Recreate the complete equipment assembly, including all component interfaces, mechanical relationships, and constraints.
  • Produce detailed manufacturing drawings, including dimensions, tolerances, materials, weldments, and other required fabrication information.
  • Work closely with internal engineering and fabrication teams to ensure the 3D models and drawings accurately represent the existing equipment.
  • Incorporate feedback, design changes, and drawing revisions throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Maintain a fast and disciplined project pace to meet customer-driven deadlines and a compressed schedule.
  • Work from physical parts and limited or incomplete existing drawings or documentation to generate accurate models and drawings.

Essential Skills

  • Background in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or an equivalent mechanical design discipline.
  • Strong experience with reverse engineering physical machinery and mechanical components.
  • Proficient 3D CAD modelling experience in CREO, including part and assembly modelling.
  • Experience creating detailed 3D models and associated drawings in CREO.
  • Hands-on experience with mechanical assemblies, fabricated components, and weldments.
  • Ability to work from physical parts when existing drawings or documentation are limited or incomplete.
  • Strong understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, fits, materials, and manufacturing or fabrication methods.
  • Ability to work independently and consistently deliver high-quality work within a compressed project schedule.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

  • Experience with heavy industrial equipment, custom machinery, material handling equipment, or fabricated steel equipment.
  • Experience designing or documenting welded structures and welded fabrications.
  • Experience working directly with machine shops and fabrication teams to resolve design and manufacturability issues.
  • Familiarity with using 3D CAD models to support FEA (finite element analysis) workflows is an asset.
