• Mechanical Design Engineer

    Actalent (Brea, CA)


    Mechanical Design Engineer –15+ Years Experience

     

    Join a team where your engineering expertise directly shapes innovative products used across critical industries. This role is ideal for a seasoned Mechanical Designer who enjoys owning projects end‑to‑end—from concept development to production‑ready documentation.

    What You’ll Do

    + Design complex parts and assemblies across multiple product lines, including valves, hydraulic assemblies, and actuators.

    + Produce high‑quality manufacturing drawings, define appropriate manufacturing processes, and apply precise tolerancing.

    + Create detailed schematics and assembly drawings using SolidWorks or AutoCAD.

    + Develop engineering solutions and proposal documentation for RFQs and RFIs.

    + Partner closely with analysis teams on components requiring FEA or CFD to ensure robust, reliable designs.

    Core Skills

    + Mechanical design

    + SolidWorks

    + Fluid systems

    What You Bring

    + 10–15+ years of hands‑on Mechanical Design experience.

    + Strong experience in industrial and machine design.

    + Proven leadership in product development and application of engineering processes.

    + Deep understanding of manufacturing methods: casting, machining, grinding, lapping, additive manufacturing, sheet metal fabrication, and more.

    + Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks CAD modeling.

    + Strong command of GD&T and drawing standards.

    + Experience with engineering methodologies such as DFMA, DMAIC, FMEA, and tolerance stack‑up analysis.

    + AutoCAD experience for layouts and schematics (a plus).

    + Familiarity with nuclear industry standards (ASME, ANSI, API, IEEE) is highly desirable.

    + Knowledge of industrial hydraulics and electrical equipment is a plus.

    Why This Role Stands Out

    You’ll have the opportunity to influence product direction, collaborate with multidisciplinary experts, and work on technically challenging systems that demand precision and creativity. If you’re looking for a role where your experience is valued and your engineering decisions make a real impact, this is a strong fit.
