The Role

We're hiring a Mechanical Designer who works like a light engineer — someone who can contribute to product design, carry it through to production, and step into sustaining and new-product work when the project calls for it.

This role sits between engineering and manufacturing. You'll support design decisions, develop production-ready models and drawings, own the documentation and change process, and take on sustaining engineering projects and hands-on support for new product development and testing. It's a design seat with an engineering reach.

What You'll Own

· Fully own 3D models, assemblies, and component designs (SolidWorks)

· Own and maintain production-ready drawings, BOMs, and documentation

· Take on sustaining engineering as needed — design fixes, improvements, and root-cause work on existing products

· Support new product development: build and revise concepts, prototype, and run or assist with testing

· Contribute to design improvements for manufacturability, cost, and performance

· Own engineering changes (ECR/ECO) from release through implementation

· Build assembly instructions and documentation for production

· Partner with manufacturing to resolve issues and improve designs

What Good Looks Like

· You contribute to design and engineering decisions, not just execution

· Your drawings and models are clear, accurate, and buildable

· You understand how products are manufactured, assembled, tested, and fail

· You can pick up a sustaining problem or a new-product task and move it forward without hand-holding

· You take ownership of changes and ensure they are fully implemented and communicated

· You reduce friction between engineering, documentation, and production

Requirements

· 3–6 years in mechanical design/product development / CAD

· Strong SolidWorks proficiency

· Experience with assemblies, BOMs, and production drawings

· Experience managing or supporting ECR/ECO processes

· Ability to interpret and apply engineering intent — and extend it when the design needs it

Bonus if you have:

· GD&T experience

· Hands-on prototyping or product testing experience

· Manufacturing or new product development exposure

· ERP systems (Acumatica or similar)

· Experience with electromechanical products

Why This Role

· Real involvement in product design, sustaining engineering, and new product development

· Ownership over both design execution and documentation quality

· A clear path to grow into full design ownership and an engineering track

· High visibility in a scaling operation

Environment

· Mix of design work, testing, and production floor interaction

· Fast-paced, detail-critical

· Some overtime as needed
