• Lead peer design reviews to ensure accuracy, functionality, and consistency across 3D models and assemblies.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to other designers.
• Independently complete complex cabinet designs from initial concept through production release.
• Promote teamwork and effective communication across engineering, design, and manufacturing departments.

Required Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED with 4–5 years of relevant mechanical design experience; OR an Associate degree in Drafting and Design or a related discipline with at least 2 years of relevant experience.
• Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD software, preferably Solid Edge or SolidWorks.
• Demonstrated experience creating complex 3D parts, assemblies, and detailed manufacturing drawings.
• Strong knowledge of sheet metal design, fabrication techniques, and manufacturing processes.
• Experience developing and maintaining Bills of Materials and part data within ERP systems.
• Proficiency in 2D drafting, drawing geometry, and interpreting engineering drawings.
• Understanding of Engineering Change Notice (ECN) processes.
• Ability to independently develop production-ready mechanical designs.
