Mechanical Engineer

Nexis Builds is hiring a remote Mechanical Engineer to design, analyze, coordinate, and provide consulting for mechanical systems in building and construction projects. The role includes HVAC and mechanical system design, engineering simulations, project documentation, compliance guidance, and occasional site visits.

Responsibilities:

• Create 3D models, technical drawings, and detailed blueprints using industry-standard CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, or similar)
• Develop HVAC system layouts, mechanical piping designs, and structural mechanical components for various building projects
• Ensure designs meet engineering codes, project specifications, and safety regulations
• Revise designs based on feedback from architects, project managers, and other engineers
• Perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to evaluate the strength, durability, and stress points of mechanical components
• Conduct Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to analyze airflow, heat transfer, and ventilation efficiency in buildings
• Utilize thermal analysis techniques to optimize HVAC systems and ensure energy efficiency
• Identify potential design weaknesses and suggest improvements before implementation
• Assist with procurement of mechanical materials and components, ensuring compliance with industry standards
• Prepare technical reports, calculations, and specifications for project documentation
• Work closely with civil engineers, electrical engineers, and construction teams to align mechanical systems with broader project goals
• Keep track of project timelines, budgets, and material orders to ensure seamless execution
• Provide expert recommendations on material selection, HVAC solutions, and mechanical system optimizations
• Ensure mechanical designs comply with local building codes, industry regulations, and environmental standards
• Assist clients and contractors in troubleshooting mechanical system challenges during construction and installation
• Travel to project sites when necessary to conduct inspections, assess installations, and ensure designs are correctly implemented
• Collaborate with on-site teams to solve real-time engineering challenges
• Provide hands-on technical support when adjustments to mechanical systems are required during construction

Requirements:

• Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• 2+ years in mechanical design, FEA/CFD analysis, HVAC systems, or construction-related projects
• CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit, or similar)
• FEA software (ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar)
• CFD tools (Fluent, OpenFOAM, or similar)
• Ability to produce accurate technical documents and reports
• Strong skills in remote teamwork, problem-solving, and cross-functional coordination
