As part of the Project Engineering group, the Mechanical Project Engineer reports to the Project Mechanical Engineering Team Leader. The Mechanical Project Engineer executes the assigned Mechanical Engineering tasks supporting the implementation of automated machining systems, integrating Makino machining centers with part delivery systems and other ancillary equipment supporting the machining process. The Mechanical Project Engineer is able to execute the assigned tasks without much involvement with the group’s leadership. The automated systems utilize various automation products including 6-axis robots (fixed pedestal, floortrack mount, and toploader), vision systems, marking systems, conveyors, etc. to automate the flow of material through Makino machining cells.
