Job Title :Mechanical Designer
Location:Hampton, NJ (Hybrid)
Job Type :Fulltime
Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Designer to design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and electromechanical subsystems for professional-grade cordless, pneumatic, and electric power tools.
The ideal candidate will have strong 3D CAD design skills, hands-on knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, and experience with mechanisms, gear systems, drivetrains, housings, and power transmission components. This role will work closely with cross-functional engineering, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, and supplier teams throughout the New Product Development (NPD) lifecycle, from concept through production release.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, mechanisms, housings, and structural components using Creo or other 3D CAD tools.
- Create and maintain 3D models, engineering drawings, BOMs, and product documentation.
- Lead mechanical design activities for drivetrains, gear systems, mechanisms, bearings, housings, and electromechanical assemblies.
- Apply GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, DFM, and DFA principles to ensure robust and manufacturable designs.
- Design components using injection-molded plastics, castings, machined parts, and sheet metal manufacturing processes.
- Support prototype builds, product validation, testing, troubleshooting, and production launches.
- Participate in design reviews, root-cause investigations, FMEA, and continuous improvement activities.
- Collaborate with Product Management, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and suppliers to optimize product performance, cost, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Support engineering change management, CAD revisions, product releases, and product lifecycle activities.
- Work with global engineering teams and suppliers to resolve design and manufacturing issues.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, or a related field.
- 5–10 years of experience in mechanical or electromechanical product design.
- Strong proficiency in Creo, SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or equivalent 3D CAD software.
- Strong knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, and engineering drawing standards.
- Experience designing injection-molded plastics, castings, machined components, and sheet metal parts.
- Good understanding of mechanical systems, gears, bearings, motors, mechanisms, and power transmission.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, collaboration, and technical decision-making skills.
