This role is well-suited for someone who's sharp, takes ownership, and wants to see their work in the field. You'll collaborate closely with engineering, manufacturing, operations, and customers, so the ability to communicate clearly and build relationships across teams is something we value highly.

What You'll Do

• Design and develop high-performance pultruded fiberglass structural products, including overhead power line systems and composite poles
• Create and maintain 3D models, assemblies, and drawings using SolidWorks

• Set up and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering data in the ERP system
• Manage revision control and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
• Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to support robust designs
• Apply FEA principles to support design decisions and validation
• Design, set up, and execute mechanical testing of systems and components
• Support new product development efforts, including quotes, prototypes, and production ramp
• Provide technical support to manufacturing, operations, and external customers on product performance and technical questions
• Build working knowledge of the electrical power distribution and transmission industry
• Collaborate across teams and spend time on the manufacturing floor as needed

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Materials, or Composites preferred)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills - you'll be working with internal teams and external customers regularly
• Self-motivated and comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Some exposure to FEA and familiarity with the new product development process
• Experience with SolidWorks (parts, assemblies, and drawings)
• Working knowledge of GD&T (formal training is a plus)
• Attention to detail and ability to stay organized across multiple projects
• Comfortable working in both office and manufacturing environments
• Internship or early-career experience in product development is a strong plus

The compensation range for this position is $66,265 - $103,500 annually. Final offers may vary based on several factors, including experience, skills, and qualifications. The posted range represents the expected earning potential for this position within the current organizational budget and market conditions.
