Eng) designation with PEO is highly desirable.

Experience: A minimum of 7–10+ years of progressive experience in the mechanical design of custom industrial automation, heavy machinery, or rotating equipment.

Industry Knowledge: Strong background in plastic extrusion technology, blow molding, vacuum forming, or heavy tooling/die manufacturing is a major asset. CAD Proficiency: Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD modeling software (such as Solid

Works, Autodesk Inventor, or Solid Edge) and PLM/PDM data management systems.

Analytical Skills: Hands-on experience executing FEA and thermal/fluid analysis on structural and moving machine elements.

Manufacturing Acumen: Solid understanding of machining processes, welding fabrication, metallurgy, and design-for-manufacturing (DFM) principles.

Key Competencies Problem-Solving: Exceptionally strong analytical and troubleshooting skills to resolve complex electromechanical issues.

Communication: Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly to both clients and shop-floor personnel.

Adaptability: Proven resilience and flexibility when managing shifting priorities in a high-mix, custom-engineered product environment.

Team Leadership: Natural ability to mentor junior staff and champion high engineering standards.
