Mechanical Design Engineer

AI overview

You will create precise 3D models and detailed drawings while collaborating across teams to ensure performance, cost, and reliability in mechanical designs.
As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will transform concepts into robust mechanical designs by creating precise 3D models and detailed drawings that guide manufacturing and assembly. You will apply GD&T principles to ensure functional accuracy and tolerance compatibility, collaborating with engineers, suppliers, and manufacturing teams to deliver designs that balance performance, cost, and reliability. Responsibilities
  • Develop 3D models and 2D drawings using CAD tools, ensuring accuracy and manufacturability.
  • Apply GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) to control critical dimensions and guarantee functional fit.
  • Translate engineering concepts and requirements into clear technical documentation.
  • Review designs for compliance with standards, tolerances, and best practices in mechanical engineering.
  • Collaborate with product engineers, analysts, and manufacturing teams to resolve design challenges.
  • Maintain CAD libraries, templates, and drawing standards to streamline workflows.
  • Support prototype builds and provide design updates based on test and validation results.
  • Prepare technical packages for suppliers and ensure alignment with production capabilities.
  • Collaborate with hardware, firmware, quality, and manufacturing teams to align technical decisions with product reliability and compliance.
  • Deliver clear reports and presentations summarizing risks, mitigation plans, and their impact on product design and lifecycle.
  • Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or Related Field
  • Strong proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or similar).
  • Hands-on experience with GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes (machining, injection molding, casting, etc.).
  • Ability to create detailed technical drawings and documentation for suppliers.
  • Strong understanding of mechanical assemblies, fit, and function.
  • Attention to detail and commitment to high-quality standards.
  • Good communication skills and ability to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams.
  • Proactive, self-directed learner who drives issues to closure.
  • Advanced English level.
  • Live in or have availability to move to São Paulo.
  • Bonus points
  • Proficiency in Blender (or equivalent 3D modeling/rendering software) and CAD tools.
  • Experience with high-aesthetic standard injected products, including in-depth knowledge of plastic injection molding processes and technical application details. 
  • Familiarity with PLM systems and design-for-manufacturing methodologies.
  • Get hired quicker
