• Update and improve legacy designs for accuracy and manufacturability
• Estimate design timelines and communicate progress to project stakeholders
• Manage product configurations within Solid Works PDM Pro
• Support manufacturing by providing design clarifications and DFM improvements
• Incorporate shop feedback to optimize production processes

This role is critical to bridging concept and production. Your designs directly impact product quality, manufacturing efficiency, and customer satisfaction. By ensuring designs are both innovative and practical, you help Olea deliver reliable, high‑performing kiosk solutions at scale.

At Olea, you’ll work alongside a collaborative, forward‑thinking team that values precision, creativity, and continuous improvement. We offer an environment where your ideas are heard, your expertise is valued, and your growth is supported.
