Design Engineer

About the Position

Are you ready to step out from behind the desk and see your designs built right in front of you? We are looking for a highly capable Design Engineer to join our growing team in Cresco, IA. This isn't a role where you'll be handed a tiny piece of a massive puzzle. Here, you will act as a true project owner, taking full cradle-to-grave responsibility for designing and developing complex, specialty trailer products like NASCAR transporters, mobile hospitals, and disaster relief units.

If you combine strong engineering fundamentals with a project-management mindset and the energy to lead, we want you to be the right hand to our Director of Engineering.

• Design and develop specialty trailer components and full systems, including frames, suspensions, braking, and load‑handling features.
• Own the entire design lifecycle from the initial concept phase straight through the manufacturing process, ensuring the final product rolls out the door flawlessly.
• Perform structural analysis and FEA to guarantee durability, load capacity, and strict safety compliance.
• Collaborate closely with our Sales, Operations, and Industrial Engineering teams to optimize your designs for fabrication and assembly.
• Manage your own projects, timelines, and deliverables with a high degree of autonomy and intention.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
• 2-5+ years of mechanical design experience.
• Strong proficiency in CAD software, ideally AutoCAD Inventor, though solid experience in other 3D CAD tools is perfectly acceptable.
• A demonstrated ability to take full ownership of projects and manage deadlines with a true Project Engineer mindset.
• A high‑energy, ownership‑driven personality that allows you to dive in, run with projects, and succeed with minimal hand‑holding.
• A willingness to work fully onsite in Cresco, IA, and be hands‑on throughout the manufacturing process.

We are building a collaborative, innovative environment where your work has a massive, visible impact. If you are ready to take ownership of incredible projects and grow your career with a dedicated team, apply now!
