PRODUCT DESIGN ENGINEER ABOUT US

We’re Yota Xpedition, the trusted and guided online source for Toyota truck and SUV modifications. Our mission is to make it

easy

to modify Toyota vehicles. We do this by empowering our customers with the confidence and knowledge they need to modify their vehicles.

OUR PERKS Our team enjoys work because:

Employee discounts on aftermarket parts and accessories for your own Toyota builds

Team outings and experiences that build real camaraderie, not just “company events”

Strong benefits package including medical, dental, vision, IRA investment options, and paid time off

Competitive compensation based on skill, ownership, and performance

A clear growth path and development roadmap as we scale the business and expand the product lineup

A high-growth, fast-paced environment where you’ll work alongside a team that shares the same core values and takes pride in building something meaningful together

YOUR ROLE Location: Onsite or Remote or Freelance Type: Full or Part Time Hours: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday - Friday Compensation: TBD Type: Hourly or Salary (Overtime Exempt)

Design and engineer Toyota aftermarket products from concept to production-ready CAD by delivering high-quality, manufacturable designs and fast revisions that move quickly through prototyping, testing, and overseas production.

This position could in-house, done remotely or you can be setup as a 1099 subcontractor. We're open for either route but looking for the right person to speed up our new product development process.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES Product Design / Development: You will own the product design and development process by turning product concepts into complete, engineered CAD models and assemblies.

Create 3D CAD models for Toyota aftermarket components (bumpers, brackets, racks, accessories, etc.)

Ensure proper fitment, clearances, mounting strategy, and mechanical integrity

Design with serviceability, installation simplicity, and end-user experience in mind

Ensure products reach “launch-ready” status with zero loose ends

Drawings and Manufacturing Documentation: You will own delivering clean, factory-ready documentation with tolerances and details that manufacturers can execute confidently.

Produce drawing packs for sheet metal, injection molding and cnc machined parts with GD&T

Specify materials, finishes, fasteners, and hardware callouts

Ensure outputs meet overseas factory expectations and reduce back-and-forth

DFM and Cost-Aware Engineering Decisions: You will own the process of engineering products that are manufacturable at scale, meet target cost, and quality.

Design for manufacturability based on real fabrication capabilities (bending, welding, CNC, etc.)

Reduce part count and simplify assemblies where possible

Balance strength, weight, and cost without compromising product performance

Proactively flag design decisions that will drive cost, complexity, or QC risk

Rapid Iteration and Revisions: You will own the process of design iterations and revisions to keep projects moving.

Implement design revisions based on fitment testing, factory feedback, and real-world issues

Turn revisions quickly and accurately to support high launch velocity

Maintain a clear revision log and communicate what changed and why

Support multiple products in parallel with organized file management

Technical Communication and Collaboration: You will communicate clearly with the Proprietary Product Manager, suppliers and other contractors to execute efficiently.

Participate in project handoffs, brief review, and design reviews

Ask clarifying questions early to prevent downstream redesign

Collaborate effectively across time zones and supplier constraints

Provide clear explanations for design tradeoffs, changes, and recommended solutions

YOUR CREDENTIALS Must Have Skills:

3+ years experience designing mechanical products, components, or assemblies for manufacturability deadlines, dependencies, and cross-functional coordination

Strong proficiency in Fusion 360 or SolidWorks (must be comfortable with assemblies, drawings, and revision workflows)

Experience producing production-ready drawings and manufacturing files (STEP, DXF, PDFs, BOMs)

Strong understanding of fabrication processes such as sheet metal, CNC machining, welding, and hardware integration

Ability to design around tight fitment constraints and real-world installation considerations

Strong communication skills and responsiveness in a fast-paced development cycle

Comfortable working with overseas factories or manufacturers, including designing to their capabilities

Strongly Preferred:

Experience designing automotive aftermarket products or accessories

Familiarity with Toyota truck and SUV platforms

Experience designing and engineering sheet metal, injection molded or cnc machined products

Experience supporting high-velocity product pipelines with rapid revision loops

IS THIS YOU? You are a practical, production-minded engineer who enjoys designing real products that get built, installed, and used. You care about strong design fundamentals, clean geometry, and manufacturable outputs, and you take pride in delivering professional CAD and drawing packs that factories can execute without confusion. You move fast but do not cut corners. You communicate clearly, ask smart questions early, and turn revisions quickly when feedback comes in.

You also enjoy collaborating with teams who are building at a high tempo and do not want slow, theoretical design cycles. You are comfortable designing for real-world constraints, including off-road abuse, installation simplicity, and fitment variability across Toyota trims. If you like working on tangible products with a clear customer use case and rapid launch cadence, you will thrive here.

IF THIS IS YOU, APPLY NOW! Job Types: Full-time, Part-time

Pay: From $70,000.00 per year

Expected hours: 10.0 – 30.0 per week

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Alburtis, PA 18011
