Role summary

Axis Automation is seeking Mechanical Engineers (Levels 2-3) to design, test, and validate automation and robotic systems. Responsibilities include developing 3D models and 2D drawings using CAD software like SolidWorks, performing design evaluations through simulations and safety assessments (e.g., FMEA), and collaborating with cross-functional teams. The role involves prototype testing, creating technical documentation, and providing on-site technical support. Level 3 engineers will manage small projects, review CAD data, train junior engineers, and lead design presentations. Experience in mechanical design, automation engineering, SolidWorks, and GD&T is required, with a Bachelor's degree and experience in automated machinery and robotic simulation software preferred.

Mechanical Engineer Levels 2-3

Position Title(s): Mechanical Engineer Levels 2-3

Position Description: Mechanical Engineers of all levels work with other Mechanical Engineers, Project Managers, Controls Engineers, Builders, Technicians and other personnel to conceptualize, design, test and validate automation systems for various types of automation and robotic equipment.

  • Evaluate designs through stress simulations, motion studies, and safety assessments (e.g., FMEA) to ensure reliability in real-world applications.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to integrate mechanical systems with electrical and controls frameworks, delivering seamless, high-performance solutions.
  • Spearhead prototype testing and iterative refinements, transforming concepts into durable, deployable designs.
  • Create clear technical documentation, including specifications, engineering changes ensuring traceability and project alignment.
  • Assist on-site operations, troubleshoot issues, and provide hands-on technical support to internal teams.
  • Complete tasks on schedule and within budget, proposing innovative enhancements to improve efficiency and functionality
  • Champion Our Operating Principles: You will be expected to actively embody and uphold our ten Operating Principles, which guide our every action and decision at Axis Automation. These principles are key to our culture and success.
  • Additional Responsibilities: Level 3 Mechanical Engineer

  • Manage and lead small-scale projects independently and work with project teams.
  • Review CAD data levels and revisions that are presented in customer parts.
  • Ability to train and teach less experienced Mechanical Design Engineers and Co-Ops / Interns.
  • Lead mechanical design presentations and reviews with internal team, customers and suppliers.
  • Education and Experience Requirements

  • Level 2: 1 - 4 years mechanical design experience
  • Level 3: Minimum 4 years mechanical design and automation engineering experience
  • Proven experience developing comprehensive design packages
  • Experience working with SolidWorks CAD or other 3D CAD software
  • Working knowledge of GD&T
  • Bachelor’s degree in engineering preferred
  • Experience designing automated machinery preferred
  • Experience with robotic simulation software preferred
  • Salary:

    Level 2: $70,000 - $85,000

    Level 3: $85,000 - 100,000
