CAD Designer Lead – Off-Road Product Development

Location

Chandler, AZ

Horsepower Automotive Group (HPAG) is a leader in the growing automotive aftermarket industry. We support a collaborative environment and value open participation from individuals with different ideas, experiences, and perspectives.

We’re looking for a CAD Designer Lead to turn bold ideas into manufacturable reality at our Chandler, Arizona facility.

• You’ll own the R&D design process end-to-end — creating, refining, and improving products built for the off-road community.
• Your designs won’t sit on a shelf. They get laser‑cut, bent, welded, and bolted onto real trucks.
• You’ll work hands‑on with a prototype engineering team that takes parts from screen to physical reality.
• Made in the USA, built for the elite — you’ll be part of a team obsessed with the details that matter.

• Create CAD models in Solid Works daily — from templates, physical parts, or your own designs.
• Build complex 3D sheet metal and tubular assemblies ready for manufacturing.
• Process 3D scans and create scanned mesh models of vehicle data to drive new product development.
• Partner with the prototype engineering team to move new products into automation and production.
• Take open instructions on part and assembly revisions and run with them.

• Strong Solid Works skills — you can manage complex assemblies and create sheet metal and tubular parts with confidence.
• 3 years of experience designing similar automotive or aerospace products.
• Experience with tooling and fixtures, and the know‑how to bring a 3D model into physical reality.
• Working knowledge of machine work and processes for final parts.
• Experience collaborating with an engineering team and producing accurate, measured drawings.
• A creative mindset paired with the discipline to translate ideas into clean, manufacturable assemblies.
• Self‑motivated and assertive, comfortable in a fast‑paced shop where priorities shift quickly.
• A team‑first attitude — you put the success of the team above your own interests.
• Ability to read, write, and speak English fluently.
• Starting salary $68,000 is negotiable depending on experience.
• Health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
• Paid time off.
• Employee discount on the gear you’ll help create.
• Employee referral program.

• Full‑time, 8‑hour day shift, Monday through Friday.
• On‑site at our Chandler, AZ facility.
