Full Job Description

Description:

About Us

We are an innovative leader in the food processing and packaging machinery industry, specializing in high-performance, automated equipment. Operating in a dynamic, dual development and production environment, we take pride in bridging the gap between cutting-edge engineering and hands-on manufacturing to deliver top-tier, custom solutions for our clients.

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced and tech-savvy Mechanical Design & Automation Engineer to lead the design, specification, and testing of our automated Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) machines and systems. This role is unique: beyond traditional mechanical design (flexible film tracking, heat sealing, conveying, and scaling systems), you will act as a key systems innovator—utilizing SolidWorks, VBA, and Excel macros to automate drawing creation and streamline data integration with our ERP/inventory systems.

If you thrive in a hybrid role that demands sharp analytical calculation, robust 3D modeling, and custom workflow automation, we want you on our team.

Key Responsibilities

Mechanical & Systems Design: Lead the design, specification, and testing of automated packaging machinery, including film tracking, heat sealing technologies, conveying mechanisms, product handling, and scale systems.
CAD & Data Workflow Automation:
- Develop and implement custom SolidWorks macros to export structured data directly from machine models, simplifying Bill of Materials (BOM) data entry.
- Create VBA, Excel, and Batch macros to organize, clean, and automate machine drawing and manufacturing documentation, eliminating manual data handling.
ERP & Bill of Materials Management: Maintain strong data integrity for BOM creation and inventory tracking utilizing Infor CRM / ERP software.
Technical Engineering & Calculations: Perform critical engineering calculations (including mass and energy balances, load, strength, and tolerances) to ensure robust machine integrity.
Production & Floor Support: Conduct regular quality and design conformance inspections on the manufacturing floor for work-in-progress machinery. Provide immediate technical direction to resolve configuration or performance discrepancies.
Project Direction & Collaboration: Plan, coordinate, and direct activities involved in the fabrication, installation, and repair of electromechanical systems. Provide clear work direction to mechanical designers and drafters as needed.

Qualifications & Technical Skills

Experience: Proven experience working in a dual development and production environment, specifically designing complex machinery (experience with automated packaging, MAP systems, or food processing equipment is highly preferred).
SolidWorks Mastery: Deep expertise in SolidWorks for mechanical design, data storage, and data management.
Automation & Scripting Skills: Demonstrated ability to write SolidWorks macros, VBA, and Batch scripts to automate repetitive design, drawing creation, and data cleaning processes.
Systems Exposure: Experience utilizing Infor (or similar enterprise ERP/CRM software) for structural Bill of Materials (BOM) management.
Core Engineering Principles: Strong grasp of mechanical and electromechanical systems, fluid/thermal dynamics (mass/energy balance), and structural engineering calculations.
Professional Attributes: Highly self-directed when working independently, yet collaborative and communicative when guiding floor technicians, drafters, or cross-functional teams.

What We Offer

Competitive compensation and benefits package.
A collaborative environment where your automation tools directly improve daily operational efficiency.
Opportunity to manage complex engineering projects from the initial sketch to final deployment on the manufacturing floor.

Middleby Packaging Solutions LLC is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EOE/M/F/Vets/Disabled) employer and welcomes all qualified applicants.

Benefits:

Health insurance
Health Savings Account w/ ER contribution
Flexible Spending Account w/ ER contribution
Dental Insurance
Company Paid Disability Insurance
Employee Assistance Program
Company Paid Life insurance
Paid holidays
Paid time off
401k
Vision insurance

Requirements:

Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent work experience in capital equipment design and service.
5-10 years of related mechanical design experience.
Proficient in the use of CAD software for design documentation utilizing SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD or similar system.
Ability to develop reporting macros to better export to secondary programs such as CRM.
Extensive knowledge of manufacturing processes for fabricating parts and component selection for the meat products and food industries.
Experience in food packaging, wash down requirements, line integration, and scaling systems, specific experience in the flexible packaging or packaging industry a plus.
Good organization, communication, analytical and project management skills. Good verbal and written skills utilizing office software (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
Advanced knowledge of Excel to create macros and other formulas.
Valid drivers license and ability to travel, up to 10%, including internationally
