A growing manufacturing company is seeking a Design Engineer to join a talented, collaborative engineering team designing high-precision mechanical components and custom systems used in advanced manufacturing applications.
This is a great opportunity for a mechanical designer who enjoys hands-on engineering, precision machining, and owning projects from concept through production. The engineering team is experienced, supportive and highly collaborative, with plenty of independence and opportunities for professional growth.
What You'll Do
- Design custom mechanical components and systems using SolidWorks
- Develop precision-machined components for CNC mill and lathe applications
- Create and interpret detailed manufacturing drawings using GD&T
- Work closely with manufacturing to ensure designs are practical and manufacturable
- Support assembly, fit checks, quality issues and troubleshooting on the shop floor
- Own projects from initial concept through completion with limited supervision
- Collaborate with a talented engineering team on custom, made-to-order products
What We're Looking For
- 3–5+ years of mechanical/machine design experience
- Strong SolidWorks experience designing machined components, equipment, tooling or electro-mechanical assemblies
- Working knowledge of GD&T and complex mechanical drawings
- Understanding of CNC machining processes, particularly mills and lathes
- Strong mechanical aptitude and understanding of manufacturability
- Self-motivated, goal-oriented and comfortable taking ownership of projects
Preferred
- Experience with CNC machining or setup
- Background in custom machinery, tooling, fixtures or precision workholding
- Mechanical Engineering degree preferred, but strong hands-on experience can substitute
- Experience supporting assembly, fit checks and shop-floor troubleshooting
Why Join?
- $80K–$95K salary
- Annual profit sharing — potentially several thousand dollars
- 3% annual cost-of-living salary increase
- Great culture with a close-knit, experienced engineering team
- Significant autonomy and ownership over your projects
- Hands-on work with high-precision mechanical components
- Opportunity to grow your engineering career in a stable, established manufacturing environment
If you're a mechanical designer who wants to build real, precision-engineered products and work alongside engineers who genuinely enjoy what they do, this is a great opportunity to consider.
