Mechanical Design Engineer

Job Summary
Ballymore Safety Products is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Coatesville engineering team and support the design, development, and release of industrial safety and material-handling products. This role requires a strong mix of analytical design, hands-on problem solving, and cross-functional execution. The ideal candidate is comfortable owning multiple projects simultaneously, anticipating manufacturing and safety requirements, and driving designs from concept through production.

Responsibilities

Product & Mechanical Design

• Perform mechanical design and analysis, including static calculations, FEA, and machine design.
• Develop designs that balance performance, manufacturability, cost, and safety.
• Anticipate implicit design requirements and downstream impacts early in the design process.

Engineering Execution

• Manage multiple concurrent projects while maintaining high output and quality.
• Drive projects from concept through design release and into production.
• Support rapid prototyping, fabrication, testing, and troubleshooting.

CAD, BOM, and Documentation

• Create accurate 3D models, drawings, and BOMs using SolidWorks.
• Apply tolerancing, GD&T, and drawing standards appropriate for manufacturing.
• Maintain accuracy in PDM and MRP systems to support production and procurement.

Manufacturing & Shop Support

• Collaborate closely with manufacturing, fabrication, and assembly teams.
• Support diagnosis of production issues and implement effective corrective actions.
• Identify and address potential pinch points, cut hazards, and safety concerns early in the design.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Communicate effectively with engineering peers, manufacturing, procurement, and management.
• Proactively raise risks, schedule conflicts, or prioritization concerns.
• Work with leadership to align workload and project priorities.
• Develop designs that balance performance, manufacturability, cost, and safety.
• Anticipate implicit design requirements and downstream impacts early in the design process.

Qualifications

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Strong mechanical design fundamentals (statics, machine design).
• Experience with SolidWorks or equivalent CAD software.
• Experience creating production-ready drawings and BOMs.
• Ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred

• Experience with FEA and structural analysis.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping, fabrication, or troubleshooting.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes and design for manufacturing (DFM).

Key Attributes We're Looking For

• High Output: Able to juggle multiple projects without sacrificing quality.
• Self-Directed: Makes sound engineering decisions with minimal supervision.
• Proactive: Anticipates problems and raises them early.
• Collaborative: Works effectively with manufacturing and procurement as partners.
• Detail-Oriented: Produces accurate, production-ready designs.
• Resilient: Adapts to changing priorities without losing momentum.

Why Join Us

This role offers the opportunity to work on real, production-impacting designs with ownership and visibility. You'll be part of a team that values strong engineering fundamentals, practical problem solving, and collaboration across departments.
