Mechanical Design Engineer – Build Real Products That Go to Market

If you’re someone who enjoys taking ideas from concept all the way through manufacturing—and seeing your designs come to life on the floor—this is the kind of role you’ll want to explore.

This opportunity puts you right in the middle of product development, working closely with engineering, sales, and manufacturing teams to create practical, high-quality designs that meet real-world customer needs. Everything you do will be built with Design for Manufacturing (DFM) in mind—so your work doesn’t just look good, it works.

• Own the full design lifecycle—from concept through production release
• Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, and shop drawings using Solid Works
• Design with real manufacturing capabilities in mind (sheet metal, CNC, fabrication)
• Build clean, accurate BOMs and maintain part numbers across assemblies
• Partner closely with sales and product teams to bring customer-driven designs to life
• Support production, manufacturing, and field teams with design updates and troubleshooting
• Run simulations, calculations, and failure analysis to ensure reliability
• Drive continuous improvement through design changes, ECNs, and process enhancements

• You’re not just designing—you’re making products that actually get built
• High visibility across engineering, manufacturing, and sales
• Strong mix of concept work + hands‑on manufacturing support
• Opportunity to influence product direction and improve designs in real time
• Work on a variety of custom and production‑driven solutions

• Strong experience with Solid Works (or similar 3D parametric design tools)
• Background designing for manufacturing—especially sheet metal and fabrication
• Ability to manage projects from idea through release without hand holding
• Understanding of BOMs, ERP systems, and manufacturing workflows
• Familiarity with AutoCAD and CNC‑related requirements is a plus
• Knowledge of industry standards (UL, ADA, NSF) is helpful

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical or related) preferred
• ~5+ years of experience in a manufacturing environment
• Hands‑on, collaborative mindset—you enjoy working across teams to solve problems
• Tools include Solid Works, ERP systems, and standard measuring equipment

We don’t just build fixtures, we engineer real‑world solutions.

With fast design‑to‑prototype turnaround, deep industry knowledge, and proven experience executing nationwide rollouts, we help retailers move quickly, scale efficiently, and get it right the first time.

• Ownership mindset – fully employer‑funded ESOP retirement plan
• Affordable health coverage that actually makes sense
• Dental & vision 100% covered
• Built‑in pay progression with multiple raises in your first 18 months
• Real growth opportunities—not just talk
• Company‑paid protection: short/long‑term disability + life & AD&D
