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.
