**About Us**
We are expanding our **Tijuana engineering center** and hiring a **Mechanical Design Engineer** who can take products from concept to production—across both polymer float products (rotomolded) and metal/mechatronic assemblies (pumps, power units, attachments).
**What You’ll Do**
- Own full‑cycle design: concept, 3D modeling, detailed drawings, GD&T;, tolerances, BOMs, and ECN release through PDM/ERP.
- Design for manufacturing (DFM/DFA) across **rotational molding** (HDPE), weldments, machined parts, castings, and sheet metal.
- Develop new EZ Connect float families (housings, inserts, hardware, latching/connection systems) with a focus on buoyancy, stability, UV/weatherability, and field serviceability.
- Contribute to EDDY Pump engineered systems (pump housings/rotors/liners, skids/frames, guarding, hydraulic/electric integrations) with attention to solids handling, abrasion resistance, and maintainability.
- Run basic engineering analyses (hand calcs for stress/deflection, buoyancy and stability, thermal effects, torque/bolt preload). Set up and interpret vendor/FEA/CFD studies when needed.
- Create assembly and installation instructions, exploded views, and field service documentation.
- Collaborate daily with manufacturing, supply chain, and quality to resolve issues quickly and drive PPAP/FAI and first‑article approvals.
- Conduct prototype builds and field fit‑ups; support testing in water tanks/fixtures and at customer sites when required.
- Work with regional and international suppliers (MX/US/India/China) on tooling, tolerances, finishes, and cost reductions.
- Maintain rigorous revision control and drawing standards; champion continuous improvement of design templates and libraries.
**What You’ll Bring**
- **B.S. in Mechanical Engineering** (or similar).
- **3-7+ years** in mechanical product design for industrial equipment and/or polymer products (rotational molding strongly preferred; injection/blow molding a plus).
- Expert in **SolidWorks** (parts, assemblies, drawings, weldments, sheet metal); experience with PDM/Vault.
- Strong GD&T; per ASME Y14.5; ability to stack‑up tolerances and design robust datum schemes.
- Practical understanding of materials and coatings**:HDPE/UV stabilizers/foams**, stainless & high‑chrome alloys, abrasion‑resistant steels, elastomers, and fasteners.
- Comfortable reading pump curves/system curves; familiarity with NPSH/TDH concepts is a plus.
- Hands‑on mindset: comfortable on the shop floor measuring parts, building prototypes, and working with technicians.
- **Bilingual Spanish/English** (written and spoken) required; clear technical communication and drawings in English.
**Nice to Have**
- Experience with **rotomold tooling** (parting lines, draft, ribs, inserts, spin‑weld bosses, foam fill).
- Design of IP‑rated enclosures, guards, lifting points, and transport cradles.
- Vendor management and cost‑out projects; VA/VE methods.
- Basic electrical/hydraulic packaging and routing (looming, clamps, hose/pipe supports).
- Familiarity with ISO 9001, CE/OSHA marking, risk assessment, and DFMEA/PFMEA.
**Success Metrics (First 12 Months)**
- Release of **2+ new EZ Connect float SKUs** from concept to production with successful PPAP/first‑article.
- **>95% drawing right‑first‑time** (no major ECO rework after release).
- **Lead‑time reduction** via DFM changes (target ≥10% cost or ≥20% assembly time improvement on at least one product line).
- On‑time support for two EDDY Pump product updates (e.g., skid frame, housing/liner package, or attachment redesign).
**Tools & Systems**
- SolidWorks + PDM, Microsoft/Google productivity tools, ERP (Epicor or similar), basic FEA/CFD via partners or internal tools as needed.
**Work Environment**
- On‑site role in **Tijuana**, collaborating closely with production, quality, and supply chain.
- Occasional travel to our U.S. facilities (San Diego/Houston) and supplier sites.
**Compensation & Benefits**
- Competitive salary based on experience.
- Legal benefits (IMSS/INFONAVIT), paid time off, and performance bonus eligibility.
- Training, certification support, and clear growth paths into Senior Engineer or Project Engineer roles.
Pay: $40,000.00 - $60,000.00 per month
Work Location: In person
