About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design and maintain complex mechanical assemblies using advanced parametric CAD modeling in SolidWorks and/or Creo
Develop detailed layouts and assemblies containing structural elements, enclosures, piping systems, thermal components, pumps, valves, and mounting interfaces
Ensure designs meet performance, thermal, structural, manufacturability, serviceability, and customer requirements
Resolve system-level mechanical integration challenges, including packaging constraints and interface definition
Execute configuration- and revision-controlled CAD designs for multiple product variants, options, and revisions
Maintain model stability and integrity as engineering changes are introduced
Implement engineering changes, ensuring traceability, configuration compatibility, and minimal production disruption
Align CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and PLM data across lifecycle stages
Produce and maintain production-ready manufacturing drawings with GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, materials, finishes, and inspection requirements
Design parts and assemblies for DFM/DFA, fabrication, welding, machining, and final assembly
Support prototype builds, pilot production, and manufacturing issue resolution through design updates and documentation corrections
Ensure designs support repeatable, high-yield manufacturing across sites, suppliers, and production volumes
Coordinate mechanical-electrical interfaces, routing paths, and packaging clearances with electrical engineering
Partner with manufacturing, supply chain, quality, and production teams on build issues, component changes, and feedback
Provide technical input during design reviews, release-readiness assessments, and product change discussions
Contribute to CAD standards, modeling practices, and documentation quality
Engage with customers and supply chain partners to assess requirements, identify challenges, and design infrastructure solutions end-to-end

Requirements
