Design Products That Go Into Production, Not Just CAD Models
If you enjoy taking a product from concept through production and want to see your designs become real-world manufactured products, this opportunity offers the chance to own projects from initial design through launch.
You'll work on the design and development of mechanical systems and components while collaborating with manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and customers to deliver reliable, production-ready products. This is a highly visible engineering role where you'll influence product performance, manufacturability, cost, and long-term reliability.
What You'll Be Doing
Design new mechanical products, systems, and components from concept through production release.
Manage engineering projects throughout the complete product development lifecycle.
Create and revise 3D models, CAD layouts, assemblies, and engineering drawings using customer specifications and CAD data.
Develop innovative product concepts and support continuous product improvements.
Troubleshoot prototype, pre-production, production, and warranty issues through engineering analysis and customer collaboration.
Conduct engineering calculations and support product validation using:
Kinematic analysis
Electrical analysis
Environmental analysis
Design verification
Simulation tools
FEA (Finite Element Analysis)
Verify designs for function, manufacturability, quality, and compliance.
Prepare engineering cost estimates for new and revised designs.
Serve as a technical resource for customers, suppliers, manufacturing, and internal engineering teams.
Support new product launches and manufacturing implementation.
Develop and maintain engineering documentation, procedures, and design standards.
Ensure compliance with IATF 16949, ISO 14001, FMVSS regulations, SAE standards, and applicable engineering requirements.
Technical Skills We're Looking For
We're interested in engineers with experience in many of the following areas:
Product Design Engineering
Mechanical Design
New Product Development (NPD)
Product Development Lifecycle
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
Creo (Pro/Engineer) or comparable 3D CAD software
CAD Modeling & Engineering Drawings
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Kinematics
Motion Studies
Mechanical Simulation
Engineering Calculations
Prototype Development
Design Verification & Validation
Manufacturing Support
Root Cause Analysis
Product Improvement
Cost Reduction Engineering
Experience with manufacturing processes such as:
Sheet Metal Stamping
Die Casting
Plastic Injection Molding
Mechanical Assembly
What Makes Someone Successful
You'll do well in this role if you enjoy:
Owning projects from concept through production
Solving complex mechanical design challenges
Working directly with manufacturing and customers
Troubleshooting technical issues in production environments
Balancing innovation, cost, quality, and manufacturability
Developing practical engineering solutions that reach production
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or related engineering discipline (or equivalent experience)
3-5+ years of product design or mechanical design engineering experience
Experience using Creo (Pro/Engineer) or similar 3D CAD software
Background supporting manufacturing and production environments
Understanding of engineering drawings, GD&T, and mechanical design principles
Experience with engineering analysis, simulation, or FEA is highly desirable
Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Teams, Project)
Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
Additional Information
Occasional domestic and international travel to customers, suppliers, and manufacturing facilities
U.S. Citizenship is required for this position
No visa sponsorship is available
If you're looking for an opportunity where you'll own product designs from concept through production while working with cross-functional engineering and manufacturing teams, we'd like to hear from you.
