Job Description

Salary:

You build things. Not just in SolidWorks. Real things with your hands, your instincts, and a drive to solve problems that most engineers neverencounter.We arelooking for a Product DevelopmentEngineering Lead who thrives at the intersection of precision and creativity, where a parametric model in the morning might give way to a hand-built prototype by afternoon.

This is a role for someone who takes genuine pride in the craft. Someone who can own a project from kickoff to client presentation and still roll up their sleeves whenit'stime to get into the details.

The Nitty Gritty

• Lead projects from conception through delivery including research, scheduling, third-party resource management, budgets, and scopes of work.

• Constantly learn and educate yourself - become a subject matter expert in anything

• Research emerging technologies and advancedcomponentengineering.

• Understand client needs and build statement of work proposals

• Attack challenging engineering problems quickly and creatively. Produce elegant solutions under real constraints.

• Conduct periodic design reviews with engineers and designers

• Develop and interpret system-level electrical block diagrams and MCOs.

• You know how and can teach others to develop 3D CAD parts and assemblies to support detailed engineering, FEA simulation, and prototyping.

• Drive complex 3D modeling in SolidWorks, including PDM Works, advanced surfacing, and parametric configurable assemblies.

• Generate precise detail and assembly drawings.

• Build mockups and prototypes craftsman-style, using hand tools with care and confidence.

• Conduct system-level tolerance stack-up analyses.

• Oversee others in quote, order, receive, inspect, and hand-build complex electromechanical prototypes end-to-end.

• Test, analyzeresults, anditerate.

What You Bring
