We are looking to fill a position for a Design Engineer in the Installation Design Department. This full-time role requires strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills. The engineer will be responsible for creating 3D models, 2D shop drawings, and bills of materials (BOMs) that guide production in building trucks within quoted labor hours and at a high level of quality. This role involves ensuring designs are practical, managing the accuracy of outsourced body designs, and delivering all relevant information to production teams to ensure successful builds and high customer satisfaction.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or a related field
• Proficiency in 3D design software (SolidWorks or Onshape preferred)
• Strong knowledge of technical writing, blueprint reading, and advanced problem-solving techniques
• Ability to work independently and take initiative

Nice To Haves

• Internship or professional experience in custom mobile equipment is a plus
• Knowledge of lean principles and their application in production environments
• Strong skills in problem-solving, root cause analysis, and solution development with little or no direction
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office products and technical documentation practices
• Strong knowledge of electrical and hydraulic systems theory and design

Responsibilities

• Creating 3D models based on customer-specific quotes, design requirements, and safety standards.
• Preparing BOMs for all installation components to support production.
• Developing detailed and accurate drawings that provide all necessary information for production. Accurate drawings prevent delays and discrepancies during the build.
• Conducting weight studies to ensure chassis capacities and installed components are within acceptable limits.
