Job DescriptionSr Mechanical EngineerExpert Technical Solutions is seeking a Sr Mechanical Engineer for one of our industry leading clients based out of Atlanta, GA (Duluth). This person will report directly to our client’s Hardware Manager. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of delivering precision actuation systems, multi-axis assemblies, and advanced mechanical solutions that integrate smart technologies and robotics. You'll own the product lifecycle from concept through production and play a critical role in pushing the boundaries of automation, manufacturability, and serviceability.This is a Permanent, HYBRID (4 days onsite with WFH on Fridays) opportunity offering competitive pay and outstanding growth potential.ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Serve as the lead on engineering projects focused on complex mechanical assemblies—from concept through production release.
- Participate in the design of precision mechanisms including multi-axis systems, gear trains, linkages, and actuators.
- Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Assembly (DFA), and Service (DFS) to every stage of development.
- Prototype, test, and validate mechanical systems using motion simulation, analysis, and real-world builds.
- Drive root cause analysis, failure investigations, and corrective design updates for both fielded and new products.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, vendors, and manufacturing partners to ensure scalable and cost-effective implementation.
- Research and source precision components and materials, evaluate suppliers, and manage technical support through production.
- Produce high-quality engineering documentation, including CAD models, BOMs, assembly drawings, and release packages.
- Support installation, field service, and troubleshooting through detailed design knowledge and documentation.
DESIRED SKILLS and EXPERIENCE
- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Mechanical Engineering or related field required
- 10+ years of mechanical design experience in product development and/or manufacturing.
- Mastery of 3D CAD modeling (Solid Edge preferred) and interpreting engineering drawings.
- Experience designing for injection molding, machining, casting, and sheet metal fabrication.
- Strong understanding of kinematics, dynamics, and motion control principles.
- Proficiency in motion simulation, FEA, and kinematic analysis tools.
- Familiarity with CNC machine tools, manual machining equipment, and 3D printing.
- Hands-on experience with mechanical assembly, testing, debugging, and troubleshooting.
- Proven ability to create detailed engineering documentation, release packages, and BOMs.
- Experience sourcing precision components and managing vendors for complex manufacturing processes.
- Ability to apply cost-saving redesigns without compromising performance or reliability.
- Working knowledge of design control processes, particularly for systems with sophisticated mechanisms.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to present technical content clearly across teams.
- Comfortable working independently while collaborating in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.
