Summary

Lincoln Electric Automation is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer for our Bettendorf, IA location (formerly Vizient Manufacturing Solutions). As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will focus on conceptualizing and detailing innovative automation systems including robotic work cells, tooling, and precision positioning equipment. Using advanced 3D CAD platforms (ProE/Creo, SolidWorks), you’ll take ownership of mechanical design from concept through build, testing, and service support. This position involves heavy mechanical engineering design work to create custom tooling and fixtures.

What You Will Do

• Lead the mechanical design of custom automation systems, often managing one (1) complex project at a time.
• Develop and document 3D mechanical designs using CAD software such as ProE/Creo and SolidWorks.
• Perform engineering calculations (static and dynamic systems) to ensure mechanical performance and safety.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams—including fabrication, machine build, controls, and project management—throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide technical drawings, mechanical layouts, and detailed part documentation to support production and procurement.
• Interact with customers regularly during design and development to ensure alignment with technical requirements and expectations.
• Ensure that mechanical designs meet all project specifications, quotations, and purchase order terms.
• Take ownership of small-scale projects as Engineering Lead, Designer, and Detailer.
• Support Estimating, Sales, Production, and Service departments with technical insight and collaborative problem-solving.
• Proactively manage timelines and to meet project schedules in a fast-paced environment (typical duration: 4–8 weeks).

Required Education & Experience

• 2+ years of mechanical design engineering experience
  • Industrial automation or custom equipment development industry experience preferred.
• Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, or related field preferred but not required.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software (ProE/Creo and/or SolidWorks required).
• Solid understanding of mechanical principles, fabrication methods, and materials.
• Basic knowledge of electrical, pneumatic, and robotic system integration is a plus.
• Strong mechanical aptitude with a hands-on approach to problem-solving.
• Experience in customer-facing technical roles and project collaboration is desirable.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools (Word, Excel); experience with project management software is a plus.
• Ability to adapt to shifting priorities, solve complex design challenges, and deliver results under tight timelines
