Job Description

Mechanical Engineer – Golf Ball Sorting System Project

Location: Lansing, MI (On-site – Warehouse environment)

Pay: $40/hour (1099 or W-2 arrangement possible)

Duration: 90 days (Project-based contract)

Start Date: Immediate

About the Project

We’re developing an automated system to sort golf balls by make, model, and condition — combining mechanical design, automation, and creative problem-solving. We’re looking for a mechanically minded engineer or builder who can help bring this machine to full operation and keep it running smoothly.

This is a hands-on project where you’ll work directly on the system’s structure, conveyors, feeders, sensors, and overall performance. You’ll be part of a small, focused team building something entirely custom — from concept to completion.

Responsibilities

  • Assist in the design, fabrication, and assembly of the golf ball sorting system

  • Install, align, and fine-tune mechanical and automation components

  • Help prototype and test the sorting process to improve speed and accuracy

  • Source, integrate, and adapt parts and subsystems as needed

  • Troubleshoot issues and ensure consistent, reliable performance

  • Maintain clear documentation of changes, adjustments, and improvements

Requirements

  • Background in mechanical systems, automation, or machine building (degree or equivalent experience)

  • Strong hands-on skills with tools, fabrication, and assembly

  • Experience with conveyors, actuators, sensors, or other motion components is a plus

  • Creative problem solver who enjoys building and improving physical systems

  • Ability to work on-site in Lansing, MI for the duration of the project

  • Self-motivated and able to work both independently and collaboratively

Schedule

  • Full-time preferred (around 40 hours per week)

  • Flexible hours depending on project phase

Compensation

  • $40/hour (1099 or W-2 arrangement possible)
