Mechanical design engineer - industrial equipment Ended

About the job

I am seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with experience in rugged industrial equipment to assist in refining a sealed mechanical device used in heavy equipment ground-contact applications (e.g., crane outriggers / shoring systems).

The functional concept is defined. The objective is to develop a durable, manufacturable mechanical assembly suitable for harsh outdoor environments.

The project requires attention to structural load paths, controlled mechanical movement, sealing strategy, and tolerance control. This is a mechanical-first industrial product.



Scope of Work (Phase 1):
• Refine mechanical geometry and housing design
• Develop guided moving component with controlled travel
• Integrate spring-based mechanism and hard stop
• Design debris exclusion / sealing features
• Optimize for CNC machining and production
• Provide manufacturing-ready CAD and 2D drawings



Required Experience:
• Mechanical design for industrial or heavy equipment
• Outdoor-rated or sealed assemblies
• Experience with machined components
• Understanding of load paths and tolerance stack-up



Project Terms:

Project-based engagement (estimated 4–8 weeks). Potential for follow-on phases.
