• Technical Documentation: Help develop specification sheets, bills of materials (BOMs), detailed assembly instructions, and manufacturing documents while learning to maintain a high standard for accuracy.

• Detailed Drawings: Draft shop drawings, product submittals, operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, and as-built drawings under the supervision of senior engineers, ensuring traceability across projects.

• Code Compliance: Learn to navigate and apply regulatory requirements, commercial codes, customer specifications, and engineering standards to product designs.

• Quality Assurance: Participate in model reviews and drawing checks as part of the engineering design release process to build your QA skills and ensure design accuracy.

• Manufacturing Efficiency: Support Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) and Design for Excellence (DFx) reviews to gain exposure to cost reduction and manufacturing efficiency strategies.

• Lifecycle Management: Assist in executing Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) as part of product release and lifecycle management, coordinating with cross-functional teams.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with Sales, Project Management, Purchasing, and Manufacturing teams to shadow technical problem-solving and support customer inquiries.

• Process Improvement: Participate in team discussions to identify and implement improvements to design procedures, safety, and quality methodologies.

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or an equivalent engineering discipline (recent and upcoming graduates welcome).

• Experience: 0–2 years of mechanical design experience (includes internships, co-ops, or relevant academic capstone projects).

• Technical Proficiency: Foundational proficiency with 3D modeling software (SolidWorks preferred) and a willingness to learn data management tools like SolidWorks PDM.

• Materials Knowledge: Basic academic understanding of metals and materials used for fabrication, including properties and manufacturing methods.

• Code Application: Awareness of, or a strong willingness to learn, building codes, energy codes, and UL listings.

• First Principles: Solid academic foundation in solving engineering problems utilizing a first principles approach to design and analysis.

• Detail Orientation: Meticulous commitment to detail ensuring precision in your drafting, analysis, and documentation.

• Safety and Compliance: This position is designated a safety-sensitive position and/or is located in a safety-sensitive facility. Drug and alcohol program participation is required.

• Physical & Operational Requirements: Ability to lift/move up to 50 lbs and stand/walk for extended periods.

Bonus Points:

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.

• Engineer in Training (EIT) Certification.

• Hands-on experience from engineering clubs or collegiate competitions (e.g., Formula SAE, Baja SAE, Solar Decathlon).

• Internship or project experience using Enterprise/Manufacturing Resource Planning (ERP/MRP) software.

• Academic or internship experience with simulation and analysis software, such as FEA or FDM.

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation and equity packages

• Restricted Stock Units

• Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs

• Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance

• Employer contributions to HSA account

• Paid parental leave

• Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability
