About The Position

Fogg Filler is seeking a talented Mechanical Design Engineer to produce individual designs and documents new products and product line enhancements and material. This role involves working with manufacturing to determine the best manufacturing process for existing and new products, and collaborating with quality personnel to ensure all quality aspects of product design and manufacturing are met by applying engineering principles under minimal supervision. The engineer will perform in-depth investigations into materials, processes, and products, and utilize sound engineering principles to design new products or modify existing ones based on customer requests, sales feedback, manufacturing input, or the Fogg service team. The position also requires working with manufacturing to optimize designs for cost efficiency, collaborating with other engineering designers to review product designs using SolidWorks, and developing engineering documentation for tooling, manufacturing, and preparation. Responsibilities include requesting and assembling prototypes for testing, analyzing competitive products, and potentially traveling to customer sites for field support. The role also involves supporting customers and the Sales Department on project control specifications and assisting the QC Department during production demands.
