Pricing/Sourcing Mechanical Engineer – Costing & Quoting

Role overview Assess how mechanical parts can be made and prepare accurate, timely cost estimates from CAD models and technical drawings. The work combines manufacturing process knowledge, labor and material costing, and practical design-for-manufacture guidance, with regular coordination across commercial and engineering teams.

Responsibilities - Review 3D models and 2D drawings to assess manufacturability and identify missing or unclear details. - Estimate costs for materials, machining time, and finishing or other post-processing. - Recommend suitable production methods and explain design or process considerations. - Organize quote requests, clarify technical questions with sales and engineering colleagues, and pass calculations to the commercial team. - Maintain quote records and aim to return accurate estimates within roughly one to two working hours. - Contribute to workflow improvements and process automation.

Requirements - Higher technical education in mechanical, manufacturing, process engineering, or a related field. - At least six years of metalworking or mechanical engineering experience. - Strong ability to interpret technical drawings and assess manufacturing effort and feasibility. - Expert working knowledge of processes such as turning, milling, CNC machining, EDM, cutting, grinding, sheet metal fabrication, and welding. - Familiarity with metals, plastics, composites, and common finishing methods such as heat treatment, coatings, polishing, and anodizing. - English at B2 level or above, clear communication, customer focus, attention to detail, and comfort working to time-sensitive deadlines. - Readiness to use CAD/CAM, CRM, and cloud tools; some CAM programming or fixture design experience is useful.

Benefits and work setup Full-time work begins remotely, with a possible later move to a hybrid arrangement involving three office days once a local office opens. The schedule is flexible around US Eastern Time. A desktop computer and monitor are provided; a reliable high-speed internet connection and suitable home workspace are expected. Holidays follow an EU or local calendar.
