- Assist with prototype building, testing, and validation of new designs.
- Participate in design reviews, communicate ideas, and integrate feedback into product iterations.
- Apply engineering fundamentals to solve mechanical problems, including basic analysis and troubleshooting.
- Work alongside manufacturing, quality, and cross-functional teams to ensure products are designed for manufacturability (DFM).
- Prepare technical documentation such as drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and assembly instructions.
- Support continuous improvement efforts on the shop floor and contribute practical insights from hands-on manufacturing experience.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- 1–5 years of mechanical engineering experience, internships, co-ops, senior projects, or practical work experience in manufacturing and design.
- Hands-on background in manufacturing environments and familiarity with fabrication processes.
- Experience with CAD software and ability to generate 3D models and technical drawings.
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with attention to detail.
- Effective communication skills and ability to work collaboratively across teams.
Preferred Skills
- Experience building and testing prototypes, including use of machine shop tools or rapid prototyping techniques.
- Knowledge of basic engineering analysis (stress, tolerance, etc.) and GD&T fundamentals.
- Interest in product lifecycle development and continuous improvement methodologies.
What You’ll Gain
- Hands-on experience in an innovative engineering environment.
- Exposure to the full product development cycle from design to production.
- Opportunity to grow technical and practical skills alongside experienced engineers.
