Mechanical Design Engineer II – Off-Road Suspension Job El Cajon area,California USA,Engineering

Founded in 2015, Accu Tune Off-Road was built on a simple idea: provide the highest-quality suspension products backed by unmatched technical knowledge and customer service. We specialize in premium off-road suspension systems for Toyota, Jeep, Ford, Chevy, and Ram trucks and SUVs, combining leading products with custom shock tuning to deliver exceptional ride quality and performance. Building on that foundation, we launched Ride Shocks, our own line of premium shock absorbers and suspension components designed from the ground up to raise the standard for the off-road industry.

As we grow, we are expanding our product lines and manufacturing capabilities.

How You Can Help Us Grow About Accu Tune Off Road and Ride Shocks

Ride Shocks is in an exciting stage of growth. We have launched our own premium suspension products and are expanding into new shock absorbers, control arms, link arms, springs, bump stops, and related components. We are looking for an experienced engineer who can independently turn product goals into durable, manufacturable products.

You will own normal product-development projects from requirements through production release. A typical project may include benchmarking an OEM control arm, defining load and geometry requirements with Applications Engineering, designing the new arm, validating it through FEA and pull testing, resolving fitment issues, and supporting production launch. There is little bureaucracy, and you will have meaningful influence over both the product and the process used to develop it.

About

You

You are a mechanically minded engineer who enjoys combining analysis with hands-on development. You are comfortable moving between CAD, calculations, the test fixture, a supplier discussion, and a vehicle in the shop.

You can be given a product objective and determine how to solve it using established company standards and work instructions. You identify requirements and risks before jumping into details, make defensible technical decisions, and communicate tradeoffs clearly.

You have a genuine interest in off-road vehicles and understand the durability, packaging, serviceability, and performance challenges suspension products face in demanding environments.

What Success Looks Like

Success means independently delivering normal engineering projects from a defined business or product objective through production release. Your designs meet performance, strength, fitment, cost, and manufacturing requirements; analysis and testing support your decisions; schedules remain visible and controlled; and problems are raised early. You seek review for high-risk decisions without requiring frequent technical direction for routine work.

Benefits and Career Advancement

This position provides a path to Design Engineer III. Advancement requires more than completing additional projects. A Level III engineer defines approaches for ambiguous or unusually complex programs, establishes new technical standards and methods, leads difficult design reviews and root-cause investigations, and improves the capability of other engineers.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Own suspension-product projects from requirements and concept selection through validation, documentation, and production release.
Define design requirements through OEM benchmarking, calculations, application needs, test data, field information, and company standards.
Develop concepts and detailed designs for shock absorbers, control arms, link arms, springs, bump stops, brackets, and related products.
Create production-ready 3D models, assemblies, drawings, specifications, tolerance stacks, and bills of materials in Solid Works using GD&T.
Evaluate strength, fatigue, motion, tolerance, and failure risks using hand calculations, FEA, and established engineering methods.
Plan and execute prototype, laboratory,…
