Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Product Design Engineer to join our engineering team. This role is responsible for designing, developing, and refining mechanical components and assemblies from concept through production, while working closely with our manufacturing facility to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability, cost, and quality. The ideal candidate combines strong SolidWorks proficiency with hands-on manufacturing floor experience.

Job Duties and Responsibilities

• Design components, assemblies, and systems using SolidWorks, including detailed part models, assemblies, and production-ready drawings with GD&T
• Translate product requirements and concepts into manufacturable designs, balancing performance, cost, and schedule
• Partner directly with manufacturing and production to support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) reviews, as well as assembly instruction creation
• Support new product introduction (NPI), coordinating between engineering and production to troubleshoot fit, tolerance, and process issues
• Create and maintain BOMs, engineering change orders (ECOs), and technical documentation
• Select appropriate materials, fasteners, and manufacturing processes based on design intent (machining, sheet metal, injection molding, welding, casting, etc.)
• Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and basic engineering calculations/FEA to validate designs
• Collaborate with R&D team to develop and test prototypes; support first-article inspection and production ramp-up
• Work with Procurement team to ensure suppliers are meeting design specifications & adjust designs based on manufacturability
• Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for design- or manufacturing-related quality issues
• Evaluate design solutions against industry standards and regulations.
• Document the design process and present progress reports to all relevant stakeholders.
• Other duties as assigned.

Experience and Education

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• Minimum 3-5 years’ experience in designing consumer-grade products
• Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (3D Modeling and 2D drawings)
• Solid understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-up, and DFM/DFA principles
• Project development and leadership skills are essential
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work cross-functionally with production, quality, and supply chain teams
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Familiarity with regulatory and code compliance processes — building codes, product listing requirements (UL/CSA/IEC/ETL), and safety/performance standards relevant to the product category

Preferred Qualifications

• Track record of taking designs from initial concept through full production launch into market
• Comfortable owning multiple concurrent projects and driving them to completion under tight deadlines
• Solidworks Certification (CSWA or higher) a plus
• Familiarity with Product Lifecycle Management software
• Exposure to Lean Manufacturing, or continuous improvement principles
• Prior experience in automotive product design
• Track record of designing with compliance in mind from the concept stage, rather than treating certification as an afterthought
