Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for new fitness products
Create 3D CAD models and detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks
Support product development from prototype through production launch
Collaborate with Industrial Design and Engineering teams to transform customer needs into innovative product solutions
Conduct technical design reviews and participate in engineering discussions
Develop and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs)
Support tooling estimates, product costing, and manufacturability improvements
Perform or support DFMEA activities, strength analysis, and fatigue testing to validate designs
Research & Development
Develop engineering test specifications and validation plans
Conduct product and component testing to evaluate design performance
Support innovation initiatives, including patent searches and invention disclosures
Research new technologies, materials, and design approaches
Manufacturing & Production Support
Partner with factory engineering teams to optimize product quality, cost, and manufacturability
Support new product introduction into mass production
Troubleshoot production and design-related issues during launch
Review quality and inspection data to drive continuous improvement and value-engineering opportunities
