The position of Product Design Engineer works in the Product Development Department to develop new parts and products and maintain/improve existing ones. This individual will take commercial inputs and create designs to support our spirit of innovation within the industry.

The ideal candidate is an individual who works well with a team and has very strong design engineering skills. Experience designing high volume parts, knowledge of metals, materials and manufacturing techniques used manufacturing and the ability to comment and provide direction and support regarding product designs and design changes. them. Primary point of contact for clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Completes engineering change requests, maintaining 3D models and updating all applicable documents to current drawing standards.
• Uses technical knowledge and experience to generate high quality design drawings for parts and assemblies - appropriate for the fabrication techniques selected.
• Develops new part specifications, draft assembly procedures, and checks design layouts and drawings for good documentation practices.
• Uses computer aided design and drafting techniques as appropriate to document designs and design analyses. (Inventor is our primary mechanical design tool.)
• Assists fellow engineers in the design and development of complex plans, layouts, detailed drawings, bills of materials, and engineering change orders.
• Collaborates with sales, management and customers to conceptualize and develop technology.
• Works with internal customers to provide product design outputs.
