Job Description

Mechanical Designer

Design innovative processing systems and cutting-edge equipment that power the world's leading coffee roasters and food manufacturers.

About MPE

For 60 years, MPE has led the industrial coffee and food processing equipment industry. Our grinders, Chain-Vey conveyor systems, and complete processing solutions serve 90%+ of North American coffee processors. Chicago-based with global operations.

The Role

Transform customer challenges into engineered solutions while advancing MPE's product line. You'll design custom integrated systems, develop new equipment, and take projects from initial concept through manufacturing-collaborating directly with customers, sales teams, and production to create solutions that define industry standards.

This is design work that matters : your systems and equipment will process materials at scale, improve efficiency, and solve real production challenges for industry leaders.

What You'll Do

Custom System Design

  • Create 2D and 3D models of integrated processing systems from concept stage
  • Design and spec mezzanines, structural supports, and equipment integration
  • Develop layouts that optimize workflow, space utilization, and efficiency

Equipment Development

  • Design new grinders, conveyors, and processing equipment components
  • Create detailed manufacturing drawings and specifications
  • Work with production team to ensure designs are manufacturable and cost-effective
  • Refine existing equipment designs for improved performance and reliability
  • Collaboration & Problem-Solving

  • Partner with sales team to translate customer requirements into technical solutions
  • Work directly with customers to understand goals and refine designs
  • Coordinate with project managers to shepherd designs from draft to production floor
  • Apply creative engineering thinking to solve unique processing challenges
  • Innovation & R&D

  • Contribute to R&D initiatives for product improvements and breakthrough solutions
  • Develop inventive approaches that differentiate MPE in the marketplace
  • Test and iterate on prototypes to validate design concepts
  • What You Need

    Education & Experience

  • Two-year degree in mechanical drafting / design OR four-year engineering degree
  • Industrial design experience required (equipment design highly valued)
  • Proficiency in 3D modeling (SolidWorks preferred)
  • Proficiency in 2D drafting (AutoCAD preferred)
  • Skills & Attributes

  • Self-starter who takes initiative with minimal direction
  • Quick learner able to grasp technical concepts and applications
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Creative problem-solver who thinks beyond standard solutions
  • Excellent time management and ability to juggle multiple projects
  • Collaborative team player who works effectively with diverse stakeholders
  • MPE Values

  • Results-oriented mindset
  • Team-first attitude
  • Personal accountability
  • What You'll Get

  • Competitive compensation with performance bonus program
  • Comprehensive health insurance and 401(k) with profit sharing
  • Training and mentorship to deepen your industry expertise
  • Opportunity to see your designs come to life in world-class facilities
  • Supportive culture at a family-owned company that values innovation
  • Chicago location with work that impacts global operations
  • Why This Role Matters

    Your designs don't just sit in a CAD file-they become the equipment and systems that leading brands depend on daily. You'll have creative freedom, direct customer interaction, and the satisfaction of solving real engineering challenges while shaping the future of MPE's product line.
