1603 Mechanical Designer

ALTEN Mexico is a subsidiary of ALTEN Group. ALTEN group has been a leader in engineering and information technology for more than 30 years and operates in 30 countries across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and employs more than 46,000 people, 88% of whom are engineers.

An innovative high-speed manufacturing solution that combines standardization and speed with gentle part handling. Assembly rates from 40 – 1100 PPM with a much smaller footprint than conventional assembly equipment.

Mechanical Designer Expert is a professional specialized in the development of automated systems and mechanical tools, with a focus on 3D design, pneumatics/hydraulics, and compliance with safety and quality standards. This role combines advanced technical knowledge with leadership skills to oversee projects from concept to manufacturing.

• Uses SolidWorks and AutoCAD to create detailed drawings and perform calculations for forces, speeds, and materials.
• Selects components (e.g., pneumatic cylinders, servomotors) based on technical requirements.
• Designs high-speed assembly lines (60+ parts/min), integrating sensors, safety systems, and operational sequences.
• Validates that systems comply with OSHA, CE, or CSA N285/NQA standards.
• Coordinates with electrical teams, programmers, and manufacturers to solve issues during integration.
• Supervises other designers in the absence of the team leader.
• Organizes technical documentation (drawings, bills of materials, quotations) and ensures compliance with ISO standards.
