Design and Development:

• Create custom product designs and detailed engineering drawings using SOLIDWORKS.
• Modify existing designs to meet unique customer requirements or improve performance and manufacturability.
• Ensure that all designs comply with applicable industry standards, company policies, and quality control requirements.

Collaboration with Manufacturing:

• Provide detailed and accurate manufacturing documentation to production teams, including bills of materials (BOMs) and assembly instructions.
• Liaise with the manufacturing team to ensure that designs are feasible and cost-effective for production.
• Troubleshoot and resolve design and manufacturing challenges as they arise.

Quality Assurance:

• Conduct design reviews and simulations to ensure the product meets performance and reliability requirements.
• Perform tolerance analysis and oversee prototyping to validate design concepts.

Continuous Improvement:

• Identify opportunities for improving design processes and implementing best practices.
• Work with the team to streamline project workflows and reduce lead times.

Qualifications:

Education:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.

Experience:

• 3-5 years of experience as a Project Engineer, preferably in an ETO or custom manufacturing environment.
• Extensive experience with SOLIDWORKS (including part, assembly, and drawing creation).
• Experience with project management methodologies, tools, and practices.

Technical Skills:

• Strong understanding of engineering principles, manufacturing processes, and materials.
• Proficiency in SOLIDWORKS (required) and other CAD/CAE software.
• Familiarity with ERP systems and how they integrate with engineering data.

Soft Skills:

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively manage customer relationships and collaborate with internal teams.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and simulation tools within SOLIDWORKS.
• Knowledge of industry standards and certifications (e.g., ISO, ASME).

Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Health, dental, and vision insurance (premiums paid by employer for individual and family)
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off and holidays
• Professional development opportunities
