Senior Design Engineer - New Product Development Team
About The Position
We are seeking an experienced and innovative Senior Design Engineer for our New Product Development Team to work closely with customers in the world's most demanding industries. This role involves designing and developing custom metal bellows, assemblies, tooling, and fixtures, creating detailed engineering documentation, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize designs for performance, quality, cost, and manufacturability. The position also supports prototype fabrication, testing, and product qualification, and involves performing engineering calculations and potentially Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The Senior Design Engineer will also participate in customer meetings and provide technical leadership to junior staff.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Minimum of 5 years of mechanical product design experience within a manufacturing environment.
- Proficiency with SolidWorks and Product Data Management (PDM) and/or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems.
- Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, engineering drawings, and ASME Y14.5 Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) standards.
- Experience developing products from concept through production, including design, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing support.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Nice To Haves
- Experience performing engineering calculations related to mechanical systems, pressure-containing components, or structural analysis.
- Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and engineering simulation tools.
- Knowledge of Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) principles.
- Experience working with custom-engineered products, tooling, fixtures, or precision manufacturing processes.
- Familiarity with quality systems, continuous improvement methodologies, and engineering change management processes.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop custom metal bellows, assemblies, tooling, and fixtures utilizing SolidWorks and ASME Y14.5 standards.
- Create detailed engineering drawings, 3D models, bills of materials, and technical documentation to support manufacturing and customer requirements.
- Translate customer specifications, technical requirements, and engineering proposals into robust product designs.
- Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA), and engineering best practices throughout the product development process.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and production teams to optimize designs for performance, quality, cost, and manufacturability.
- Support prototype fabrication, testing, design verification, validation, and product qualification activities.
- Perform engineering calculations related to stress, pressure, strength, effective area, fatigue, and performance requirements.
- Conduct or support Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and other engineering analyses to validate designs and improve performance.
- Participate in customer meetings, technical reviews, and engineering discussions to support business development and project execution.
- Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and contribute to enhancements in engineering processes, tools, and standards.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineering staff as needed.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation and benefits package.
- Opportunities for professional growth and leadership development.
