About the role

Mechanical Application Engineer

Base Salary: $110K–$120KPrimary Location: Remote

Travel: 15% SUMMARY:We’re hiring a Mechanical Application Engineer to support the design and development ofoffsite manufactured and modular building components for complex projects. This role requires a strong mechanical systems background, with specific experience in P&IDdiagramming, hydronic piping, HVAC systems, chillers, heating systems, and related mechanicalinfrastructure. The ideal candidate will likely come from an HVAC mechanical contractor, afacility engineering role within a university, or a facility engineering role within a hospital orhealthcare system. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who can combine technical depth with practicalexecution. You’ll help design mechanical systems for modular and offsite constructionapplications while ensuring each solution meets performance, safety, compliance, transport, manufacturing, and installation requirements.

What you’ll do:

Develop mechanical system designs for offsite manufacturing products and systems across multiple complex projects
Create and interpret P&ID diagrams for piping, instrumentation, HVAC, chiller, and heating systems
Design and support hydronic piping systems, especially those tied to HVAC, chilled water, and heating applications
Collaborate with design, mechanical, electrical, structural, and construction teams to ensure integrated project execution
Create detailed engineering drawings, bills of material, and technical models or simulations
Participate in client-facing and internal coordination discussions to solve design challenges, reduce risk, and finalize project solutions
Make sound engineering decisions in the review and approval of drawings, specifications, and project documentation
Review vendor drawings and confirm alignment with engineering requirements
Evaluate materials and construction methods for performance, constructability, and cost efficiency
Partner with manufacturing teams to support designs that improve production, transportation, assembly, and field installation
Conduct shop and field visits to verify constructability and support operational success
Stay current on evolving engineering methods and innovations related to offsite and modular construction
Contribute to research and development efforts tied to new product development and continuous improvement
Prepare technical studies, specifications, cost estimates, and proposal evaluations

What we’re looking for:

Bachelor’s degree in Engineering from an ABET-accredited institution 4+ years of engineering analysis and design experience within mechanical building systems, HVAC, hydronic piping, chiller systems, heating systems, or related infrastructure
Required experience with P&ID diagramming, including piping and instrumentation design for mechanical systems
Required experience with hydronic piping systems, preferably within HVAC, chilled water, heating, or central plant environments

Background working for an HVAC mechanical contractor, or as a Facility Engineer within a university, hospital, healthcare system, or similar large-campus environmentExperience with chillers, heating systems, mechanical rooms, central utility plants, or complex facility mechanical systems strongly preferredPE license preferred Strong communication skills with the ability to work across teams and interact effectively with clients Ability to explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences Strong technical writing and documentation skills Familiarity with applicable building and engineering codes such as ASCE, AISC, and IBCAbility to produce and manage engineering drawings independently and in coordination with broader design teams Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple project demands at once Sound judgment in engineering decisions and project execution Ability to interpret contract documents, drawings, specifications, and scopes of work Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset Ability to manage deadlines and competing priorities in a fast-moving environmentExperience with engineering and design tools such as SAP2000, STAAD, Revit, Inventor, TEKLA, AutoCAD, or similar platforms Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office and intermediate Excel capability Why consider this opportunity This is a strong opportunity for a mechanical engineer who wants to work on complex, real-world projects in the growing offsite and modular construction space. You’ll have the chance toinfluence mechanical design quality, improve manufacturability, and help bring high-performance building solutions from concept through production and field execution.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
