Mid to Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

🌱 About Jarrett EngineeringJarrett Engineering designs and delivers real-world mechanical solutions for manufacturing environments; equipment, automation systems, and tooling that must perform reliably, efficiently, and economically.As our partnerships expand, we’re investing in experienced design talent to support increasing project complexity and throughput. This role is part of our long-term growth strategy, not a short-term fill.🛠️ The RoleWe’re looking for a mid to senior-level mechanical designer who understands how industrial equipment is built, assembled, and paid for.This role blends:Mechanical equipment designIndustrial automation supportFixtures and toolingDetailed manufacturing documentationYou’ll be expected to think beyond “can it work?” and into “can it be built efficiently, maintained easily, and delivered within budget?”🔩 Key ResponsibilitiesDesign mechanical equipment, automation systems, and fixtures/tooling from concept through releaseCreate detailed 3D models, assemblies, and production-ready drawingsApply DFM/DFA principles to control cost, complexity, and manufacturabilityBalance performance, durability, and simplicity in design decisionsCollaborate with engineers, machinists, integrators, and project managersSupport prototype builds, troubleshooting, and design refinementParticipate in client-facing technical discussions when appropriateContribute to improving internal design standards and workflows✅ Experience & Technical ExpectationsThis role is intentionally above entry-level.~3-5+ years of professional mechanical design experienceDemonstrated experience with:Industrial machinery or equipmentAutomation-adjacent mechanical systemsFixtures, tooling, or production support equipmentStrong CAD proficiency (SolidWorks preferred; equivalent accepted)Comfortable producing complete drawing packages including assemblies, detail drawings and pneumatic schematics (tolerances, GD&T, BOMs)Solid understanding of manufacturing processes (machining, fabrication, assembly)Proven ability to design with cost, simplicity, and lead time in mind🧠 Core Traits We’re TargetingThis is where the right candidates lean in:Manufacturing-Minded Designer—You design for the shop floor, not just the screenCost-Conscious Thinker—You naturally simplify designs without sacrificing functionIndependent Problem Solver—You don’t require step-by-step direction but readily accept and consider input from team members.Detail-Oriented—You care deeply about drawings, tolerances, and build qualitySteady Under Pressure—You've been through design changes, deadlines, and real-world constraintsGrowth-Oriented—You want to help shape a growing engineering firm🚀 Why Jarrett EngineeringDirect involvement in meaningful industrial projectsIncreasing workload driven by real client demand, not speculationOpportunity to influence how the design process evolves as the company scalesA team that values experience, practicality, and ownershipLong-term growth path toward senior or lead design responsibility📍 LocationIndianapolis, IN/ Greenfield, INFlexible and hybrid arrangement.
