Job Overview

Our client is looking for experienced Mechanical Design Engineers to support the design and modification of industrial thermal processing equipment used primarily in the solar and electronics manufacturing industries. This role will focus initially on modifying existing machine designs and supporting engineering workflows for a California-based manufacturer with significant international operations, including extensive equipment installations throughout the Philippines and Asia. The position is ideal for engineers with strong mechanical design fundamentals, experience using SolidWorks, and an interest in industrial equipment, thermal systems, conveyor systems, or process machinery.

Schedule

• Monday - Friday, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM PST (40 work hours per week)

Responsibilities 1. Mechanical Design & CAD Modifications

• Modify existing machine designs using SolidWorks
• Adjust machine dimensions, layouts, and configurations based on project requirements
• Work from existing drawings, prints, and engineering documentation
• Create and update mechanical assemblies, detailed part drawings, manufacturing documentation, and BOMs (Bills of Materials)

2. Engineering Support

• Assist the engineering team with ongoing project workloads and equipment customization
• Support design updates for thermal processing and conveyorized industrial equipment
• Maintain organized engineering files and documentation standards

3. Project Coordination & Timelines

• Work within defined engineering timelines and deliverables
• Maintain accurate tracking and organization of assigned projects
• Collaborate remotely with the California-based engineering team

4. Thermal & Process Equipment Understanding

• Apply basic understanding of heat transfer principles, thermal systems, conveyorized equipment, and industrial processing systems
• Support modifications and improvements to existing thermal equipment platforms

5. Documentation & Standards

• Ensure engineering work follows internal documentation procedures
• Maintain revision control and organized file structures
• Adapt to proprietary/internal systems and workflows

Requirements

• 4–10+ years of experience in mechanical design engineering
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks
• Experience creating and modifying industrial equipment designs
• Ability to interpret and work from existing engineering drawings and assemblies
• Strong emphasis on data security, confidentiality, and controlled access to engineering systems
• Detail-oriented, highly organized, and comfortable working within existing design frameworks

Qualifications

• Experience in thermal processing equipment, heat transfer systems, conveyor systems, food processing equipment, or manufacturing automation is highly desirable
• Technical skills in mechanical drafting, detailing, CAD modeling, and BOM generation
• Portfolio samples or examples of prior mechanical design work are highly preferred

Scope of the Role

• Initial Focus: Begin with modifications to existing equipment designs rather than fully new product development; work on standardized and repeatable machine configurations.
• Long-Term Opportunity: Potential growth into advanced design responsibilities, team collaboration, mentoring, and international training opportunities.

Independent Contractor Perks

• Health Insurance Coverage for eligible locations
• Permanent work from home
• Immediate hiring
