Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to support one of its leading clients in the tire manufacturing industry in Greenville, SC. This role is heavily focused on the design of large-scale industrial equipment, with primary responsibilities centered around machine design. The engineer will contribute hands-on design work using SolidWorks (or a comparable CAD platform) while also helping to coordinate and oversee design efforts across the broader team. In addition to technical design responsibilities, this position requires some understanding of project execution, including assessing job scope, timelines, cost, and potential safety risks associated with equipment and processes. The ideal candidate brings a blend of technical expertise and project management experience, enabling them to effectively support projects from concept through completion.

The team offers a supportive, hands-on environment and is looking for an engineer who is proactive, adaptable, and ready to make an immediate impact.
