Mechanical Design Engineering - Suspension

Description

RANDYS Worldwide is growing its suspension business, and we're looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to help build it. Based at our Riverside, California facility, you'll design aftermarket suspension, steering, and off-road products from concept through production.

Our in-house engineering and development team designs, prototypes, manufactures, and tests suspension components and systems across our automotive aftermarket brands. You'll work directly with engineers and technicians to develop products in SOLIDWORKS, build prototypes, and install and test them on vehicles.

You'll help develop new product lines, expand existing applications, and improve current products for performance, durability, and manufacturing cost. If you enjoy seeing your designs built, installed, and proven in the field, this role is for you.

Design & Analysis

• Develop products from concept to production, including detailed 3D models and fully toleranced drawings in SOLIDWORKS (GD&T per ASME Y14.5).
• Perform stress analysis using SOLIDWORKS Simulation (FEA) to validate designs.
• Design for manufacturability across machining, sheet metal, fabrication, and welding processes.
• Improve existing products through design analysis, testing, and engineering changes.

Prototype, Test & Validate

• Install and remove prototype suspension and steering components and perform vehicle fitment testing.
• Benchmark competitor and existing products through testing, measurement, and material analysis.
• Inspect components using precision measurement equipment and coordinate inspection requirements with Quality.
• Review test data to verify designs meet functional and performance requirements.

Collaboration & Documentation

• Work with suppliers, manufacturers, and internal teams to develop products and resolve technical issues.
• Conduct market research to identify new product opportunities.
• Review engineering drawings for accuracy, tolerances, and fitment.
• Create and maintain bills of materials (BOMs), drawings, and engineering documentation.
• Develop installation and assembly instructions for technicians and customers.
• Track project progress in Wrike and communicate updates during team meetings.

RANDYS Worldwide is a leader in the automotive aftermarket, developing products across suspension, drivetrain, and off-road performance brands.

Our Riverside facility brings engineering, prototyping, fabrication, manufacturing, and vehicle testing together, allowing engineers to take products from initial concept to production.

Join a growing engineering team where you'll have a direct impact on the products we design, manufacture, and bring to market.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field with 5+ years of mechanical design experience in product development, or 8+ years of equivalent experience in lieu of a degree.
• Advanced proficiency in SOLIDWORKS, including 3D modeling and 2D drawings.
• Working knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5), ANSI drafting standards, and document control.
• Strong understanding of materials, heat treatment, metal fabrication, welding, and design for manufacturing.
• Hands-on experience with automotive hand tools and precision measurement equipment.
• Ability to manage multiple projects, meet deadlines, and communicate effectively with internal teams and suppliers.

• Automotive aftermarket, off-road, or motorsports product development experience.
• Suspension, steering, sheet-metal, or gear design experience.
• SOLIDWORKS Simulation (FEA) and SOLIDWORKS PDM experience.
• Experience with 3D scanning and reverse engineering.
• Familiarity with mechanical testing, including hardness, tensile testing, and metallurgy.

• Full-time, on-site position in Riverside, California.
• Regular work in a shop environment, including installing and removing vehicle components.
• Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Valid driver's license.
• Adherence to all applicable safety procedures.
