Full Job Description

Build Real Machines. Not Just CAD Models.

Since 1997, Automated Machine Systems (AMS) has built custom automation equipment for a niche industry that depends on reliability and throughput. We are a stable, execution-focused OEM with a strong shop culture and practical engineering mindset.

AMS designs and builds industrial automation equipment for the pallet manufacturing, recycling, material handling, and timber processing industries.

We are not a corporate R&D lab.
We are hands-on, build-it-for-real OEM.

We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer I who wants to design machines that actually get built on our shop floor and see them run.

This is an entry-level to early-career role designed as a growth path into full machine ownership.

What You’ll Actually Do

Create detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings using Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD
Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Support senior mechanical engineers in the design and release of automated machinery
Assist with component sizing and selection (bearings, motors, cylinders, structures, etc.)
Review drawings for accuracy before they hit the shop floor
Support engineering changes (ECOs)
Create layout drawings for internal review and customer presentations
Work directly with builders and fabricators to solve real-world problems

What This Role Is (And Isn’t)

This role is:

A hands-on, practical mechanical engineering position
Heavy in detailing, documentation, and manufacturable design
A steppingstone to full machine design ownership
A high-exposure role in a small, fast-moving OEM

This role is not:

Pure concept design
Corporate-level R&D
A siloed desk job

What We’re Looking For

0–3 years of mechanical design experience (internships count)
Associate or bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (or comparable experience)
Proficiency in Inventor (preferred) or SolidWorks (considered)
Ability to produce clean 2D manufacturing drawings
Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving ability
Comfortable working in a production environment
Detail-oriented and self-motivated
Valid driver’s license

Bonus points for:

Experience in machine design, automation, or industrial equipment
Exposure to fabrication or assembly environments

The Personality That Thrives Here

You might be a good fit if you:

Prefer practical engineering over theory-only work
Like interacting with builders and welders
Want to understand how machines actually go together
Take pride in clean drawings and accurate BOMs
Don’t need layers of management to do good work
Want to grow into full machine ownership over time

Growth Path

This role is intentionally structured as a Mechanical Engineer I position.

Successful candidates can grow into:

Mechanical Engineer II (own full machine designs)
Lead Mechanical Engineer (architecture & standards)

We promote based on capability and ownership — not time served.

Compensation & Benefits

$25.00 – $30.00 per hour (based on experience)
Health, Dental, & Vision Benefits
Performance-based bonus opportunities
Stable, long-term growth environment
Direct access to decision-makers
Exposure to real machine design from day one

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $25.00 - $30.00 per hour

Expected hours: 40 per week

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Health insurance
Life insurance
Paid time off
Vision insurance

Work Location: In person
