Position Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Manufacturing Design Engineer to support a growing production operation that is expanding more engineering and tooling work in-house. This role plays a critical part in designing molds, precast shapes, and production-related tooling while partnering closely with fabrication, quality, and production teams to improve efficiency, throughput, and product quality.

This position is design-forward and ideal for someone who enjoys seeing their work move from concept to the shop floor. While the role interfaces with CNC equipment (foam cutters/Routers), CNC programming experience can be trained ; strong design fundamentals and manufacturing understanding are the priority.

Key Responsibilities

• Design molds, precast shapes, and related components using CAD software (Autodesk Inventor preferred; similar platforms considered)

• Convert customer drawings and specifications into manufacturable designs and production-ready models

• Create packaging and support drawings to assist downstream production and shipping

• Collaborate with fabrication and production teams to ensure designs are practical, efficient, and safe to manufacture

• Support implementation of designs into CNC processes (wire cutters, foam cutters, routers); training available as needed

• Participate in quality reviews and inspections to ensure parts meet specifications

• Assist engineering leadership with estimating labor, materials, and setup considerations related to mold and tooling work

• Support continuous improvement efforts focused on safety, efficiency, and output

• Communicate effectively with cross-functional teams including engineering, production, quality, and maintenance

• Maintain organized workspaces and follow all safety standards and company policies

• Operate basic shop equipment and material handling equipment as required

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong mechanical design experience in a manufacturing environment

• Proficiency with CAD software

• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings and prints

• Solid understanding of fabrication and manufacturing principles

• Comfortable working both independently and collaboratively in a production setting

• High attention to detail with a focus on quality and safety

Preferred (But Not Required)

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or equivalent practical experience

• Background in steel fabrication, tooling, or custom manufacturing environments

• Exposure to CNC equipment or automated cutting systems

• Welding or hands-on fabrication experience

• Experience supporting production efficiency or continuous improvement initiatives

Performance Expectations

Success in this role will be measured by:

• Quality and accuracy of designs released to production

• Contribution to improved efficiency and throughput

• Responsiveness to production and quality needs

• Adherence to safety standards and attendance expectations

• Ability to collaborate effectively across departments

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

• Manufacturing and shop-floor environment

• Ability to lift up to 55 lbs as needed

• Use of PPE including steel-toe footwear and company-provided uniforms

• Limited or no travel required

• Overtime flexibility may be required during peak production periods

Growth Opportunity

This role offers long-term growth potential as the business continues to expand. High performers will have opportunities to take on increased responsibility, deeper technical ownership, and broader engineering impact over time.
