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)
