Mechanical Engineer

As a mechanical engineer at Universal Tool and Engineering, responsibilities will include designing tool and die sets for CNC tube bending machines, end formers, punch machines, stamping dies, and various tooling and machine components. It is required to interact and work with the production supervisor, shop foreman, technicians, and machinists. Communicating with sales representatives and customers is also a vital component in producing the correct tooling for the customer. There are times when multiple projects will be active at one time and focus will need to be changed from one project to another. Occasionally the mechanical engineer will be required to take measurements off machines to produce a tooling design or reverse engineer a customer’s tooling. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, hardworking, determined, and mechanically inclined.

Responsibilities:

Design toolsets using SolidWorks

Using information from the purchase order
Using part drawings
Using part models
Verifying tooling will make the desired part by integrating the part to the tooling model

Create floorplans for work cells using DraftSight or SolidWorks

Taking existing floorplans of machines and bringing them all together to create a 2D layout for the customer to see how it will fit in their facility.

Design various machine parts

Customers may break parts on machines that cause them to not be operational and look to UTE to get the part to them as soon as possible. We have various part files unrelated to tooling that we are able to produce in house to help the customer. Occasionally we have to come up with the design to produce the part.• Designing adapters for new motors to replace old motors that have different mating patterns.
Designing parts to completely rebuild a machine.
Convert part files provided by customers to be produced on our machines.
