MECHANICAL ENGINEER – PRODUCT DESIGN

Schurco Slurry is an American manufacturer of heavy-duty centrifugal slurry pumps and related equipment serving mining, mineral processing, power generation, and aggregate industries. The Mechanical Engineer will support the design, documentation, manufacture, and improvement of pump components and mechanical equipment using 3D CAD, while collaborating with manufacturing, quality, sales, and field-service teams.

Responsibilities:

• Create and revise 3D models, assemblies, and production drawings using SolidWorks
• Design and modify pump components, assemblies, baseplates, guards, piping arrangements, and other mechanical equipment
• Prepare accurate, manufacturing-ready drawings incorporating appropriate dimensions, tolerances, fits, materials, and manufacturing requirements
• Provide day-to-day engineering support to manufacturing, assembly, quality, sales, and field-service personnel
• Participate in design reviews and collaborate with other engineers on new products, product improvements, and cost-reduction initiatives
• Assist with the development and maintenance of engineering standards, drawing practices, bills of materials, and technical documentation
• Communicate with suppliers and internal manufacturing personnel regarding technical requirements and component design
• Support inspection and dimensional verification of components and assemblies
• Learn the construction, operation, and performance characteristics of centrifugal slurry pumps
• Perform other engineering responsibilities based on company needs and the candidate’s demonstrated strengths

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a closely related engineering discipline
• Proficiency with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software
• Ability to create and interpret mechanical drawings, including dimensions, tolerances, fits, and section views
• Understanding of fundamental mechanical-engineering principles, including statics, dynamics, materials, and fluid mechanics
• Strong mechanical aptitude and interest in manufactured equipment
• Effective problem-solving, organizational, and technical communication skills
• Ability to manage multiple assignments and work effectively with limited supervision
• Willingness to work in an office, manufacturing, and assembly environment as required
• Two or more years of mechanical design, manufacturing, rotating-equipment, or related engineering experience
• Experience designing cast, machined, fabricated, or elastomer-lined components
• Familiarity with GD&T
• Experience with pumps, rotating equipment, mineral processing, mining, aggregates, or other heavy industrial equipment
• Understanding of centrifugal pump operation, pump curves, fluid systems, or hydraulic calculations
• Experience supporting manufacturing, quality control, assembly, or field troubleshooting
• Experience with portable CMM equipment, 3D scanning, dimensional inspection, or reverse engineering
• Familiarity with engineering change-control processes and bills of materials
• Familiarity with applicable ANSI, ASME, ASTM, or ISO standards
