Design Engineer

Mechanical design/engineering across a large variety of products / industries (i.e. construction/ag equipment, mining, ATV, recreational vehicle, etc...).

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or closely related field
• Must be proficient CAD user (ProE Wildfire preferred)
• 8-10 years mechanical design experience including design proficiency with weldments and sheet metal (for heavy/mobile equipment)
• Will consider less experience (5-8 years) but only if it is good, intensive equipment design experience.
• Must be strong engineer – able to do engineering calculations, specify weld, GD&T, materials. Good manufacturing background and knowledge of manufacturing processes. Must be able to do high level design (i.e. complex welded structures) for heavy equipment
• Good communication/interpersonal skills required.
• Must be a US Citizen
• Must have a stable work history

• Local candidates strongly preferred (Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota or Wisconsin), but not a requirement.
• Prefer well rounded mechanical engineer – weldments/sheet metal experience is a must, but additional experience in castings, plastics, linkages, tooling, etc... is a plus.
• Prior heavy equipment exposure – farming background, mechanic experience, etc...
