Function
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will be part of the Product Engineering team at Camco Technologies. You will be responsible for the entire mechanical development process of new products.
In this role, you will take ownership of your designs and oversee them from concept through validation and release for production.
You will work on multiple R&D projects simultaneously and have final responsibility for the mechanical design of your products. You will work closely with Project Managers, Project Engineers, Embedded Engineers, the production department, and the R&D technician.
Your Responsibilities
• Developing and optimizing mechanical products for mass production.
• Developing concepts into complete 3D models.
• Independently designing, modeling, and detailing parts and assemblies in Inventor.
• Preparing production drawings and technical documentation.
• Modeling and maintaining bills of materials and product data in the internal ERP system.
• Selecting materials and components.
• Requesting and comparing quotes from suppliers.
• Ordering prototypes and materials.
• Monitoring prototype construction and assembly.
• Testing and validating prototypes together with the R&D technician.
• Preparing test reports, datasheets, and technical reports.
• Working closely with production to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost-effective.
• Implementing improvements to existing products based on test results, feedback, and production experience.
In this role, you’re not just a designer—you’re the owner of your product, and you do much more than just technical drawing.
You will manage projects entirely on your own, from the concept phase through design and documentation to testing and release for production.
This includes material selection, testing, optimization, and production support.
