Position Overview

We are supporting a client seeking a Mechanical Automation Engineer (DriveWorks) to play a key role in advancing engineered-to-order and configurable product platforms. This position focuses on transforming mechanical engineering knowledge into intelligent automation, enabling faster, more consistent, and more scalable design outcomes.

This is an onsite role based in Newton County, Georgia. Candidates currently located outside the area who are open to relocation are encouraged to apply.

The ideal candidate is passionate about design automation, standardization, and reducing manual engineering effort through robust DriveWorks implementations. This role works closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to elevate design quality, accuracy, and efficiency.

Key Challenges

To be successful in this role, the Mechanical Automation Engineer will navigate:

• Translating complex engineering rules, standards, and product logic into reliable DriveWorks automation

• Balancing standardization with required product customization

• Aligning automated designs with Manufacturing, Purchasing, and Sales needs

• Updating legacy models, drawings, and workflows without disrupting active projects

• Ensuring automation accuracy, validation, and scalability—where errors can quickly propagate

Key Responsibilities

Engineering & Design Automation

• Design and develop mechanical systems for configurable industrial equipment

• Create, maintain, and enhance DriveWorks automation projects, including:

• Parametric models and assemblies

• Automated drawings and documentation

• Automated Bills of Material (BOMs)

• Translate engineering standards, product rules, and configuration logic into repeatable automated workflows

Standardization & Scalability

• Support standardization of parts, assemblies, drawing templates, and naming conventions

• Reduce engineering variation while preserving necessary customer-driven customization

• Improve long-term scalability of engineered-to-order product platforms

Collaboration & Integration

• Work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, Purchasing, and Sales to ensure automated designs are accurate, manufacturable, and cost-effective

• Support engineering leadership by improving design consistency and reducing engineering cycle time

Efficiency & Continuous Improvement

• Increase engineering efficiency by reducing manual effort, errors, and design lead times

• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives related to design automation, DriveWorks logic, and engineering processes

Documentation & Knowledge Capture

• Document design standards, automation logic, workflows, and best practices

• Support training and adoption of automated tools and standardized processes across the engineering team
