1d•$87,500 - $108,000

About The Position

At Bosch Mobility Aftermarket, the Mechanical Product Engineer designs and develops new products, redesigns existing products, and oversees prototype delivery and testing to verify form, fit, function, and quality. The engineer works with cross-functional teams to deliver products on time, to specification, and within budget, and is responsible for engineering documentation, specifications, and technical data for assigned projects. The role involves innovation, working from a vision, managing multiple projects, and operating in a fast-paced environment. The engineer designs plastic components and tooling using manufacturing processes such as high- and low-pressure injection molding, thermal forming, and additive manufacturing. The role converts two-dimensional industrial designs into three-dimensional component designs and assesses manufacturability through mold-flow analysis and shrink-rate calculations. It also uses GD&T, CAD, FMEA, and mathematical analysis to meet customer specifications. The position maintains mechanical CAD models and drawings in SolidWorks/PDM or Creo/Windchill, collaborates with global engineering teams, and prepares project records such as design reviews, specifications, wiring diagrams, and technical prints. The engineer initiates component creation in SAP and manages the Engineering Change Request process. Additional duties may be assigned by management.
