About The Position
Gwynedd Manufacturing is seeking a talented and driven Mechanical Design Engineer to play a key role in launching a new product line. This role will focus on the design and development of outdoor cooking products. You will be instrumental in bringing these products from concept to reality—owning the design process from early concept through prototyping and into production. This position sits under Gwynedd Manufacturing, a well-established defense contractor supporting firearms and knife production for government and law enforcement agencies. Backed by a stable and successful organization, this role offers the unique opportunity to help build and shape a new brand in the outdoor space—without the uncertainty of a startup.
