• Understand customer technical requirements and deliver effective, manufacturable design solutions
• Create and modify designs, models, and drawings using CAD software
• Analyze engineering sketches, specifications, and data to determine design factors and tolerances
• Design parts and assemblies with manufacturability, cost, and quality in mind
• Participate in design reviews and document lessons learned
• Evaluate and approve design changes, specifications, and drawing releases
• Support prototype builds, testing, and transition to production
• Maintain and control engineering documentation (drawings, models, change records)
• Utilize TLX engineering tools and processes including Phase/Gate, ECOs, FMEA, DFM, stack-ups, DVP&R, PPAP, and Process Validation
• Collaborate with Sales by providing technical input for customer presentations
• Interface with internal teams, customers, and suppliers
• Support supplier coordination for prototype builds and design changes

• Strong mechanical aptitude
• Working knowledge of metals, plastics, coatings, finishes, and hardware
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, injection molding, welding, and milling
• Ability to support customer meetings and communicate technical concepts clearly
• Experience working with suppliers related to prototype builds
• Understanding of how design decisions impact Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)
• Ability to participate in root cause analysis and quality activities

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical preferred) or equivalent relevant experience
• 2–3 years of design engineering experience
• Proficiency with Solid Works or similar 3D modeling software
• Strong Excel skills; working knowledge of Microsoft Office
• Experience with DFMEA, PFMEA, DOE, and AIAG procedures preferred
• Familiarity with magnetic modeling concepts or simulations used in electromechanical product design

• Competitive compensation based on experience
• Hands-on exposure to full product development lifecycle
• Opportunity to grow technical and manufacturing expertise
• Collaborative engineering and manufacturing environment
