Description

Are you an engineer who enjoys taking an idea from the drawing board to a finished product? Do you want a role where you can combine product design, CAD, prototyping, testing, and hands-on problem solving?

Vandor Innovations is looking for a Product Engineer to join our team and help develop and improve products from initial concept through production launch.

This is an opportunity for an engineer who doesn’t want to spend every day behind a desk. You’ll work directly with prototypes, manufacturing processes, materials, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to turn concepts into practical, manufacturable solutions.

What You'll Get to Do 

As a Product Engineer, you’ll be involved throughout the product development lifecycle, including:

· Design new products and improve existing products using 3D CAD models and 2D drawings

· Take projects from initial concept through development, testing, validation, and launch

· Build and evaluate prototypes using technologies such as CNC, digital cutting, and 3D printing

· Get hands-on with prototype construction and product testing

· Develop and maintain product specifications, drawings, Bills of Materials, and engineering documentation

· Partner with equipment, material, tooling, fixture, and prototype suppliers on new developments

· Support Engineering Change Notices and new product launch documentation

· Identify opportunities to improve product quality, manufacturability, yield, throughput, and cost

· Participate in product improvement and cost-reduction initiatives
