Overview
We are partnering with an innovative product development company that designs and manufactures some of the industry's most advanced connected sports training equipment.
About the Role
This is not a traditional mechanical engineering role where designs are handed off to someone else to build. Instead, you'll own the complete mechanical development of a flagship product line—from early concept and CAD design through prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and continuous product improvement.
Responsibilities
- Own the complete mechanical design and development of a flagship product line
- Design welded structures, machined components, assemblies, and production-ready mechanical systems
- Create detailed SolidWorks models, engineering drawings, and GD&T documentation
- Select materials, components, and manufacturing processes to optimize performance and manufacturability
- Build and modify physical prototypes
- Weld, fabricate, machine, and assemble prototype components
- Design and build custom test fixtures
- Perform structural, functional, and durability testing
- Investigate failures, identify root causes, and implement design improvements
- Collaborate with manufacturing and supplier partners throughout product development
- Support design-for-manufacturing initiatives
- Assist with prototype builds, production launches, and ongoing product improvements
- Manage multiple engineering projects simultaneously
- Communicate technical risks, tradeoffs, and project status
- Partner with cross-functional teams throughout product development
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
- 3+ years of mechanical product development experience
Required Skills
- Expert-level SolidWorks experience
- Experience creating production engineering drawings utilizing GD&T
- Experience designing welded structures, machined components, and assemblies
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes including welding, machining, fabrication, and sheet metal
- Experience developing and testing physical prototypes
- Strong mechanical problem-solving skills
- Excellent communication and organizational skills
Preferred Skills
- Experience with sporting goods or fitness equipment
- Experience with durable consumer products
- Experience with rapid prototyping and 3D printing
- Experience with overseas manufacturing partners
- Hands-on machining or fabrication
- Experience with product lifecycle management
