Job description
DescriptionJob Requisition: Senior Mechanical Engineer
Department: NUPOW Engineering
Location: Solon, Ohio
Employment Type: Full-Time
Reports To: Engineering Manager
Position Summary:
We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to support the design and development of nuclear instrumentation and radiation detection systems used in demanding, high-reliability environments. This role serves as a key mechanical engineering resource responsible for driving design efforts, supporting product evolution, and ensuring long-term product performance and manufacturability.
The position includes both system-level equipment (such as skid-based and piping assemblies) and component-level designs (including detector assemblies and rack-mounted instrumentation). This role is expected to become a key technical contributor within the mechanical engineering function and requires a high degree of technical ownership, sound engineering judgment, and the ability to contribute with minimal ramp-up.
Prior nuclear experience is not required; candidates with strong mechanical design backgrounds and experience with fabricated equipment or welded assemblies will transition successfully.
Key Responsibilities:
• Lead the design and development of mechanical systems, components, and assemblies from concept through release to manufacturing.
• Create and maintain Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs) and detailed mechanical drawings.
• Develop complete engineering design packages including models, drawings, specifications, and supporting documentation.
• Generate and manage Bills of Material (BOMs) within PLM systems.
• Lead design updates, component selection, and engineering change activities.
• Apply sound engineering practices including tolerance considerations, fit/function evaluation, and design for manufacturability.
• Incorporate fabrication and welding requirements into designs.
• Collaborate with customers, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to ensure efficient and practical solutions.
• Interpret technical requirements and translate them into clear, production-ready documentation.
• Provide engineering support to production and resolve complex design-related issues.
• Maintain accurate configuration-controlled documentation.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to other engineers as needed.
• Other duties as assigned.
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 5–10 years of experience in mechanical design, equipment design, or a similar engineering role.
• Demonstrated experience creating P&IDs, mechanical drawings, and complete engineering design packages.
• Strong proficiency with CREO and AutoCAD.
• Experience developing and managing Bills of Material (BOMs) within a PLM or similar system.
• Demonstrated ability to take designs from concept through release to manufacturing with minimal oversight.
• Experience applying sound engineering design practices, including tolerance considerations, fit/function evaluation, and structured engineering change processes.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, materials, fabrication processes, and welded structures, with working knowledge of applicable welding standards (such as ASME Section IX).
• Ability to read and interpret complex technical specifications and drawings.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
• U.S. citizen or citizen of a country to which there is no export restriction for controlled technologies.
• Willingness to travel occasionally and work safely in industrial environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience designing industrial equipment, skid systems, piping assemblies, or precision mechanical components.
• Experience working in a regulated industry (e.g., nuclear, aerospace, defense, oil & gas, or similar).
• Experience with instrumentation layouts or integrated electro-mechanical systems.
