Sr Mechanical Design Engineer

Role overview

Mechanical design and engineering

• Lead design of custom structures, moving mechanisms, interactive features, themed attractions, and specialized installations.
• Create 3D models, assemblies, engineering drawings, fabrication details, and bills of materials using SolidWorks and Autodesk Fusion.
• Perform design calculations, select components, analyze tolerances, and assess materials, manufacturability, structural needs, and performance.
• Develop mechanisms with components such as linkages, gears, bearings, shafts, actuators, and motors.

Prototyping and project coordination

• Develop and test prototypes; work with production teams to support fabrication and assembly.
• Provide technical support during fabrication, assembly, installation, and commissioning; troubleshoot and revise designs for real-world conditions.
• Coordinate with architects, BIM modelers, electrical and automation engineers, fabrication teams, and site teams.
• Review drawings, resolve design conflicts, manage revisions and documentation, and support testing and handover.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• At least 7–10 years of relevant mechanical design engineering experience.
• Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks and Autodesk Fusion is mandatory.
• Strong experience in 3D CAD modeling, complex assemblies, engineering drawings, and manufacturing documentation.
• Practical knowledge of machining, metal fabrication, welding, CNC manufacturing, and mechanical assembly.
• Experience in prototyping, product development, and converting concepts into working mechanical systems.
• Ability to interpret technical drawings and independently resolve engineering problems.
• Strong understanding of materials, tolerances, fasteners, bearings, gears, motors, and mechanical components.
• Experience coordinating with multidisciplinary teams and supporting workshop or site implementation.
• Strong communication, technical problem-solving, and leadership skills.

Preferred experience

• Experience in one or more of themed entertainment, theme parks, animatronics, custom machinery, interactive attractions, special-purpose equipment, product development, metal fabrication, CNC machining, or exhibition installations is an advantage.
• Candidates should be practical, detail-oriented, resourceful, and able to work directly with production and fabrication teams.

Application materials

• A mechanical design portfolio is mandatory.
• The posting requests examples of SolidWorks and Autodesk Fusion projects and detailed manufacturing drawings; the provided description ends mid-sentence.
