About The Position
At Alamo Group, we don't just build equipment — we build futures. As a Design Engineer with our Morbark division, you'll join a team of innovators, problem-solvers, and forward-thinkers who design the machines that shape industries and strengthen communities around the world. In this role, you'll lead design projects for product modifications and new product development, working hands-on with steel fabrication, weldments, diesel and gasoline engines, drivetrains, hydraulics, and electronic controls. Your work will bring to life a diverse product line — from small, hand-fed tree care chippers and stump grinders to large industrial chippers, horizontal and vertical grinders, flails, and sawmill equipment. If you're energized by solving real-world engineering challenges and want your ideas to have a visible, lasting impact, we'd love to have you on our team.
