Mechanical Design Engineer; Tooling Design Focus

Mechanical Design Engineer (Tooling Design Focus)

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with a strong focus on tooling design and a passion for developing manufacturing focused solutions that enable high volume production. In this role, you will collaborate closely with Engineering, Platform Design, Contract Manufacturing (CM) partners, and cross functional teams to design and develop tooling, test fixtures, and jigs that support scalable, high throughout manufacturing environments.

You'll join a highly collaborative team spanning Hardware Engineering, Platform Design, Reliability Engineering, and global CM partners. This role is deeply integrated with early stage product development, ensuring manufacturability and production success cision, innovation, and proactive design collaboration are core to how we operate.

You will lead the end to end design, development, and validation of custom tooling and fixtures that support New Product Introduction (NPI) and high volume electronics manufacturing. This role emphasizes engineering innovation and early design influence—not factory floor production support. You will own the mechanical design process from concept development through CAD modeling, documentation, vendor engagement, and pilot build support.

• Engineer, design, and validate custom tooling, test fixtures, and jigs for high volume production.
• Translate mechanical and process requirements into CAD models, detailed drawings, and documentation.
• Participate in design reviews and provide DFM/DFT feedback for new products.
• Collaborate closely with Hardware Engineering, Platform Design, Reliability Engineering, and CM partners.
• Select and specify manufacturing processes (CNC machining, injection molding, sheet metal, coatings) for tooling applications.
• Perform tolerance stackup analysis for complex mechanical assemblies.
• Work with overseas CMs and vendors to support tool release, prototyping, and pilot builds.
• Research and recommend new manufacturing technologies to improve tooling quality and cost effectiveness.
• Create and manage BOMs, ECOs, and revision histories (experience with Agile PLM or Windchill PDMLink is a plus).

The new hire base pay for this role has a pay range of $110,000 to $175,000. Arista offers different pay ranges based on work location, so that we can offer consistent and competitive pay appropriate to the market.
