Mechanical Engineer

Our Valencia, PA-based manufacturing firm specializes in the design and construction of industrial machinery. As a compact, locally-operated business with a staff of 50, we are currently expanding and offer significant potential for professional growth and internal promotion for the right candidate.

This position is multifaceted, involving technical collaboration across various internal teams and direct engagement with our client base. You will work alongside our systems engineering, drafting, sales management, and customer service departments, performing the following functions:

• Assist our sales and customer service staff by engaging with clients to assess their specific needs, recommending appropriate products, defining project requirements such as materials and equipment, and preparing accurate quotes, technical drawings, and bills of materials.
• Develop designs for components, assemblies, and complete equipment systems for our production lines.
• Offer engineering guidance and technical troubleshooting to support our parts, service, and installation operations.
