Havis, Inc.
Title:
Designer
Functional Area:
Product Design & Engineering
Reports to:
Mechanical Engineering Manager
Purpose The Product Design & Engineering team helps drive growth by introducing strategic new product platforms, and customer customized solutions. This role will use creativity and collaboration to generate technology and product concepts & designs along with the associated controlling documentation for intuitive, aesthetic, innovative, cost-effective and manufacturable designs. The scope of the role includes both new product and sustaining engineering efforts as well as support for our sales & marketing teams.
Accountability
Create and maintain all forms of product documentation with guidance: 3D models for components & assemblies, 2D component & manufacturing assembly drawings, Technical product datasheets, and Customer Instruction manuals
Create and revise concepts & designs based on market and customer specific requirements with guidance, reverse engineer customer equipment or commercially available components
Perform tolerance analysis and includes accurate standard and geometric tolerances on all detail drawings; Assist others with these tasks as needed
Ensure compliance with required design safety factors, tolerances, and specifications
Ability to prioritize, plan, document, and manage projects to meet multiple project commitments: Performance, Cost, and Schedule
Work directly with manufacturing and/or suppliers to proactively design for manufacturability and assembly (DFX)
Select commercially available components for use in products
Select materials for use in product components
Obtain and verify product packaging samples and packaging documentation
Maintain consistent and standardized product design history/project files in proper folders and use the Product Design & Engineering checklists to ensure all appropriate tasks are complete at time of release
Build and verify prototypes and pilot production assemblies
Create test plans when appropriate to support project requirements and validation activities
Working knowledge of additive manufacturing (3D printing) technologies and their capabilities
Inspect incoming component parts for accuracy and quality; Assist and direct others with this task as needed
Execute engineering change orders in a timely manner with minimal supervision
Participate in cross‑functional teams for assigned projects
Participate in or lead cross‑functional design reviews
Effectively communicate with engineers, designers, technicians, manufacturing engineers, and suppliers to meet project commitments
Learn & expand personal knowledge of the industry, competitors, and customers
Required Education and Experience
Associate of Science degree in Drafting, Product Design, Engineering Technology, or equivalent
At least two (2) years of experience in Mechanical Design in a manufacturing environment
Skilled in parametric design & surface modeling—preferably SolidWorks
Knowledge of DFX for precision manufacturing materials & processes including sheet metal, castings, injection molding, extruding, machining, paint & powder coating, PCBA, and assembly
Working knowledge of additive manufacturing
Proficiency in mechanical design drafting practices, including full compliance with ASME Standard Y14.5‑2009 and relevant GD&T standards
Proficiency in using Microsoft 365 (Teams, Outlook, Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
Proficiency in performing some basic mechanical engineering calculations
Demonstrated ability to select appropriate materials and manufacturing processes
Preferred Education and Experience
Successful launch of two (2) or more products
Design thinking
Rendering experience—preferably SolidWorks Visualize or KeyShot
Design for electrical component integration
Experience with CAD vault systems for managing part libraries, revisions, and design data integrity
Physical Demands
This job operates in a professional office environment. This role routinely uses standard office equipment such as computers, phones, photo copiers, etc.
Combination of general office & engineering lab / shop environment
Ability to lift up to 50 lb
Employee will be regularly required to perform coordinated movements of hands & fingers for data entry, CAD modeling, and product or prototype assembly, and product testing
May require local travel to other company facilities, suppliers, and customers
Long‑distance travel as needed—not to exceed 5%
