However, if you want to live a life with real purpose, work alongside a wildly talented group of professionals to make a real difference, join us as we work to solve the national housing crisis. We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to join our engineering team. This role is responsible for designing, developing, and refining mechanical components and assemblies from concept through production, while working closely with our manufacturing facility to ensure designs are optimized for manufacturability, cost, and quality. The ideal candidate combines strong SolidWorks proficiency with hands-on manufacturing floor experience.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
Minimum 3-5 years’ experience in designing consumer-grade products
Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (3D Modeling and 2D drawings)
Solid understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-up, and DFM/DFA principles
Project development and leadership skills are essential
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work cross-functionally with production, quality, and supply chain teams
Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
Familiarity with regulatory and code compliance processes — building codes, product listing requirements (UL/CSA/IEC/ETL), and safety/performance standards relevant to the product category

Nice To Haves

Track record of taking designs from initial concept through full production launch into market
Comfortable owning multiple concurrent projects and driving them to completion under tight deadlines
Solidworks Certification (CSWA or higher) a plus
Familiarity with Product Lifecycle Management software
Exposure to Lean Manufacturing, or continuous improvement principles
Prior experience in automotive product design
Track record of designing with compliance in mind from the concept stage, rather than treating certification as an afterthought

Responsibilities

Design components, assemblies, and systems using SolidWorks, including detailed part models, assemblies, and production-ready drawings with GD&T
Translate product requirements and concepts into manufacturable designs, balancing performance, cost, and schedule
Partner directly with manufacturing and production to support design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) reviews, as well as assembly instruction creation
Support new product introduction (NPI), coordinating between engineering and production to troubleshoot fit, tolerance, and process issues
Create and maintain BOMs, engineering change orders (ECOs), and technical documentation
Select appropriate materials, fasteners, and manufacturing processes based on design intent (machining, sheet metal, injection molding, welding, casting, etc.)
Perform tolerance stack-up analysis and basic engineering calculations/FEA to validate designs
Collaborate with R&D team to develop and test prototypes; support first-article inspection and production ramp-up
Work with Procurement team to ensure suppliers are meeting design specifications & adjust designs based on manufacturability
Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for design- or manufacturing-related quality issues
Evaluate design solutions against industry standards and regulations.
Document the design process and present progress reports to all relevant stakeholders.
Other duties as assigned.
