Engineer - Custom Products/Data
About The Position
In a developing capacity and under direct supervision, applies fundamental engineering principles to support the design, documentation, and execution of custom product solutions. This role partners closely with engineering, manufacturing, and production teams to translate customer requirements into accurate product configurations, 3D models, and production-ready documentation. The position is primarily desk-based and requires strong data accuracy and systems work; however, regular interaction on the manufacturing floor is required to collaborate with operators, validate designs, and support production implementation. Emphasis is placed on technical accuracy, data integrity, teamwork, planning, and timely execution of assigned projects.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, engineering technology, industrial design engineering, or related technical field OR Associate degree in a related field with 3+ years of applicable engineering or product configuration experience.
- Experience with 3D modeling / CAD software (SolidWorks, Creo, AutoCAD, or similar) required.
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage data-intensive work, including BOM and product structure maintenance.
- Ability to communicate effectively with engineers, production operators, and leadership, translating technical concepts clearly.
- Basic understanding of manufacturing processes and willingness to work hands-on with plant personnel when needed.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple assignments and changing priorities.
