Job Description

• Serve as Sedron’s senior technical authority on heavy industrial machine design, rotating equipment, pressure vessel design, and welded/structural systems. • Provide SME-level guidance to engineers company-wide, including structural integrity reviews, failure analysis, design improvement strategies, and advanced analytical support. • Lead cross-disciplinary design reviews, risk assessments, and formal technical decisions for major capital equipment. • Lead the design and development of custom heavy-duty mechanical systems, ensuring high reliability, maintainability, and performance in continuous industrial operations. • Lead the design and integration of complex rotary components (shafts, bearings, seals, couplings, gears, lubrication systems). • Oversee detailed CAD models, drawings, GD&T, weldment designs, and manufacturing documentation for large equipment systems. • Conduct and review advanced analyses (FEA, CFD, fatigue, vibration, thermal, dynamic analysis) to validate and optimize machine performance. • Evaluate and qualify components, materials, and suppliers for robust long-term service. • Perform and guide advanced structural and fatigue analysis for large, welded assemblies, pressure boundaries, frames, housings, and mechanical support structures. • Assess degradation mechanisms (corrosion, fatigue, creep, wear, cracking) and develop strategies to prevent failures. • Ensure all designs and reviews meet ASME, AWS, AISC, API, and internal standards. • Support systems through the complete lifecycle — from concept development and prototyping through manufacturing, commissioning, field support, and end-of-life evaluation. • Lead root cause analyses for equipment failures; drive corrective actions and design improvements that minimize downtime and improve total lifecycle cost. • Collaborate closely with manufacturing, automation, controls, operations, and maintenance to ensure systems are safe, serviceable, and cost-effective. • Mentor and elevate the technical capabilities of mechanical, structural, and rotational equipment engineers across the organization. • Translate complex engineering concepts to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring clarity and alignment across teams.

Job Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, structural engineering, or related discipline (advanced degree strongly preferred)
  • 20+ years of experience in industrial machine design, rotating equipment engineering, structural/welded system design, or asset integrity engineering
  • Proven track record designing, analyzing, and supporting large industrial mechanical systems and welded structures in manufacturing, energy, processing, or similar heavy industries
  • Expert-level proficiency in CAD (NX preferred), FEA tools, and structural analysis platforms (ANSYS, ABAQUS, RISA/STAAD/SAP2000, etc.)
  • Deep knowledge of bolted joints, welded structures, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and tribology
  • Extensive hands-on experience with rotary systems including bearing selection, lubrication design, seal systems, alignment, rotor dynamics, and vibration analysis
  • Strong understanding of materials engineering and manufacturing methods for weldments, machined parts, and pressure-boundary systems
  • Thorough knowledge of ASME, AISC, API, ANSI, AWS, and other relevant industrial design standards
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and problem-solving skills
  • Minimum requirement for all positions is a high school diploma or GED
  • Must have effective verbal, reading, and written communication skills in the English language.

Benefits

  • Multiple medical, dental, and vision insurance options to keep you feeling your best
  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Generous paid time off and paid holidays (plus 2 floating holidays to use your way)
  • Disability, Life, and AD&D Insurance
  • FSA and HSA options with employer contributions
  • Tuition reimbursement — we invest in your growth
  • Casual work attire — no suits required (unless that’s your thing)
  • Remote flexibility
