Prevail Recruiting

Overview

Prevail Recruiting is partnering with an energy hardware company seeking a hands-on Mechanical Engineer to take products from initial requirements through production, supporting mobile power and wind hardware with a focus on mechanical design, analysis, prototype builds, testing, troubleshooting, and manufacturing collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Own development from concept through production, taking mechanical assemblies and major subsystems through requirements, design, prototyping, testing, iteration, and manufacturing release.
• Create production-ready designs, developing 3D models, assemblies, manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, and documentation, applying GD&T and tolerance analysis.
• Build, test, and troubleshoot hardware, working directly with technicians, machinists, and fabricators to assemble prototypes, investigate failures, and implement improvements.
• Apply engineering analysis using structural, thermal, vibration, and durability analysis to guide design decisions.
• Prepare products for manufacturing by improving designs for manufacturability and assembly, collaborating with suppliers, and managing engineering changes, inspection requirements, and production-release documentation.

Requirements

• A track record of personally taking mechanical products or major subsystems from concept through production.
• Strong 3D CAD skills, with SolidWorks experience especially relevant, plus proficiency in GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and manufacturing drawings.
• Hands-on prototype, build, and test experience, supported by practical knowledge of processes such as CNC machining, sheet metal, weldments, fabrication, and additive manufacturing.
• The ability to work independently on complex engineering problems and stay involved through design changes, testing, and manufacturing.
• Relevant backgrounds include energy equipment, industrial hardware, aerospace and defense, automotive/EVs, robotics, semiconductor equipment, and other complex electromechanical products.
