Design Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Two or more years of professional experience.
• Two or more years of hands-on engineering or product design experience.
• Ability to identify, evaluate, and implement engineering solutions that improve productivity, manufacturing efficiency, and cost effectiveness.
• Strong understanding of continuous improvement, waste reduction, process optimization, manufacturability, and data-driven problem solving.
• Ability to incorporate practical sustainability considerations into engineering decisions, including material utilization, scrap reduction, energy and resource efficiency, manufacturability, and product lifecycle considerations.
• Product design and development experience, preferably with high-volume consumer products.
• Working knowledge of CAD, preferably NX and/or SolidWorks.
• Working knowledge of engineering and quality tools including SPC, GD&T, FMEA, and DFA/M.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to take an improvement from an idea to a measurable result.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an environment where engineering works hands-on with manufacturing.

Nice To Haves

• Two or more years of experience in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
• Working knowledge of FEA.
• Familiarity with rapid prototyping techniques.

Responsibilities

• Drive improvements in productivity, manufacturability, cost, quality, and sustainability through engineering solutions.
• Improve manufacturing productivity through process optimization, automation, tooling, equipment, workflow improvements, and elimination of non-value-added activities.
• Develop and support measurable improvements in manufacturing capacity, labor efficiency, equipment utilization, material utilization, and process performance.
• Use continuous-improvement and data-driven problem-solving methods to establish baselines, identify opportunities, quantify improvements, and verify results.
• Evaluate engineering solutions to reduce material usage, scrap, rework, energy consumption, and other waste while maintaining safety, quality, performance, and customer requirements.
• Incorporate manufacturability, productivity, sustainability, total cost, and long-term operational impact into product and production-process design decisions.
• Design and implement new or modified tooling, fixtures, machinery, manufacturing processes, and technologies.
• Identify root causes of engineering and manufacturing problems and develop corrective actions.
• Research, test, and evaluate products for design, performance, and failure modes.
• Collaborate with engineering teams, manufacturing, suppliers, customers, and other WARN functional groups to bring improvements from concept to the shop floor.
• Support multiple engineering projects and priorities in a fast-moving manufacturing environment.

Benefits

• Three weeks of paid time off.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Short-term and long-term disability coverage.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company match.
• Employee Assistance Program with mental health, financial guidance, and legal services resources.
• Employee discounts on Warn Group products and gear through an employee purchase program.
