Crux Retail designs and builds custom retail display programs for brands in the outdoor sports, automotive aftermarket, and home improvement industries. Our work goes from napkin sketch to factory floor — and the person in this role owns a big chunk of that journey.
What this role actually is
You'll take conceptual designs and engineer them into production-ready reality. That means CAD modeling, drawing packages, BOMs, vendor communication (domestic and overseas), prototype coordination with in-house staff, and the kind of relentless problem-solving that happens when a design meets real-world constraints.
You own the process end-to-end. You'll be originating solutions, identifying potential issues before they become expensive, and moving fast without cutting corners.
What you'll be doing
- Building and organizing SolidWorks models and drawing packages for production
- Developing detailed BOMs and manufacturing documentation
- Working directly with domestic and international vendors through the prototype and production cycle
- Coordinating prototype builds with in-house staff
- Solving design-to-manufacture problems across materials, including sheet metal, wire, wood products, and plastics
- Managing multiple projects with overlapping timelines
What we're looking for
- 3–5+ years of engineering production-ready retail displays (prototypes through mass production)
- SolidWorks proficiency — current version, used daily, not just occasionally
- Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office
- Hands-on knowledge of manufacturing processes: CNC routing, metal fab, plastic fab, 3D printing
- Material fluency across the retail display toolkit: metals, plastics, wood composites, wire
- The instinct to find a better way, and the discipline to document it properly
This role requires full-time on-site work at our Kennesaw, GA office.
Foreign language skills are not required for international vendor communication.
