Mechanical Design Engineer – Spartanburg, SC

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join a growing engineering team in Spartanburg, SC. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on mechanical design, custom machinery development, and direct collaboration with both customers and internal teams.

In this role, you’ll contribute to the design and development of industrial web-handling and converting machinery — including equipment used for processing films, textiles, nonwovens, and paper materials. The ideal candidate will have strong technical design ability, a solid engineering mindset, and experience taking projects from concept through successful installation.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop custom mechanical machinery and components from concept to completion.
  • Collaborate closely with sales, manufacturing, and customers to understand project needs and translate them into practical engineering solutions.
  • Create 3D models, detailed drawings, and documentation using AutoDesk Inventor.
  • Support manufacturing through build, testing, and installation phases.
  • Participate in technical discussions and occasional customer site visits to ensure successful design outcomes.
  • Update manuals, parts lists, and other technical documentation as needed.

Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience in mechanical machinery or component design.
  • Proficiency in AutoDesk Inventor is required (other 3D CAD software may be considered).
  • Strong understanding of mechanical principles, applied math, and engineering calculations.
  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) is highly preferred; equivalent experience in a related industry will be considered.
  • Experience with web handling, textile, or converting equipment is a plus.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office tools (Excel, Word).

Why This Role
  • Opportunity to be part of a highly specialized machinery design team with a reputation for innovation in web-handling and converting solutions.
  • Collaborative culture where engineering and sales work hand-in-hand to deliver custom solutions.
  • Exposure to a variety of industrial machinery projects and ongoing product development.
