### Job Description

Job Description Description: Global CNC Industries is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Mechanical Design Engineer to join our dynamic team. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will play a crucial role in developing new toolholder designs, updating existing product lines, and streamlining engineering operations to support our precision CNC lathe toolholder manufacturing.

- New Product DevelopmentDesign new toolholders and tooling systems from concept through production, including VDI, BMT, PSC/Capto, and driven/live toolholder systems. Develop 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings that meet functional and manufacturability requirements.
- Design Updates and StandardizationReview and update legacy designs to improve performance, reduce cost, and standardize across product families. Identify opportunities to simplify designs and reduce part variation.
- Gear and Transmission DesignApply gear and transmission design principles to driven and live tooling systems, including gear selection, sizing, and layout for optimal torque transmission, speed range, and durability.
- Design for ManufacturabilityWork closely with production and programming teams to ensure new and revised designs are optimized for CNC machining, assembly, and repeatable quality on the shop floor.
- Tolerance and Fit AnalysisPerform tolerance stack up analysis, GD&T application, and fit/function calculations to ensure proper interchangeability and performance of toolholder components.
- Prototyping and TestingDevelop and evaluate prototypes, coordinate first article inspection, and support testing to validate design intent before release to production.
- Engineering DocumentationMaintain accurate BOMs, drawings, and engineering change documentation within Business Central and related systems.
- Collaboration and CommunicationWork closely with manufacturing engineers, production management, and outside vendors to ensure designs translate smoothly into production. Support competitive analysis and reverse engineering efforts as needed.

**Qualifications and Requirements**

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- Proven experience in mechanical design, preferably in CNC tooling, machine tool accessories, or precision manufacturing.
- Experience with gear and transmission design is a strong plus, including gear selection, sizing, and torque/speed calculations.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD software (Autodesk Inventor preferred) and strong GD&T knowledge.
- Strong understanding of machining processes and design for manufacturability principles
- Experience with tolerance stack up analysis and fit/function calculations.
- Familiarity with ERP/PLM systems for BOM and drawing management is a plus.
- Excellent problem solving skills and a demonstrated track record of successful design implementation.
- Effective communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a team based setting.
- Detail oriented, self motivated, and able to manage multiple design projects concurrently.
