Are you a senior mechanical engineer who thrives in custom machine design, where every project brings a new challenge and the best solutions require both instinct and engineering rigor?
As a Senior Mechanical Engineer at Delta ModTech, you will transform customer requirements and conceptual solutions into production-ready designs for custom web converting, coating, and automation systems. Working closely with cross-functional teams and customers, you will lead complex mechanical design efforts from concept through implementation.
Success in this role requires exceptional mechanical aptitude, strong engineering judgment, and a high level of personal drive. The ideal candidate can navigate ambiguity, make sound technical decisions, communicate effectively under pressure, and take ownership of delivering innovative solutions that meet customer needs.
We hire for both capability and character. Strong candidates demonstrate the humility to always learn, the courage to challenge assumptions, the discipline to follow through, and a servant-leadership mindset that helps teammates and customers succeed.
Work closely with an integrated project team of applications engineers, electrical engineers, project managers, process engineers, technicians, and fellow mechanical engineers while refining project scope and developing new, challenging design concepts.
Communicate directly with customers in a clear, professional, and consultative manner that reflects Delta’s motto of "Serving people by solving problems."
