• Provide design and modeling support for new product development initiatives.
• Collaborate closely with Manufacturing Engineering and production teams to ensure manufacturability and efficient product launches.
• Support prototype development, testing, and design improvements.
• Modify existing designs and develop new solutions to enhance product performance and production efficiency.
• Manage multiple projects and help drive products through the development cycle.
• Work independently with minimal supervision while maintaining project timelines.
• Assist in reducing time-to-market for new products and improving overall prototyping efficiency.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of CAD design experience, preferably in a manufacturing environment.
• Advanced proficiency with SolidWorks.
• Experience creating production drawings, assemblies, and mechanical component designs.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and fabrication methods.
• Ability to work independently and proactively move projects forward.
• Excellent problem-solving and organizational skills.
• Associate degree or community college technical training preferred, or equivalent hands-on industry experience.
• Experience supporting product development and prototype builds is highly desirable.

What We're Looking For
