Lead Mechanical Design Engineer

We are seeking an experienced and driven Lead Mechanical Design Engineer with strong expertise in sheet metal design. This role combines technical leadership and hands-on design responsibilities, requiring a professional who can lead a team of engineers while also contributing as an individual contributor to high-impact design projects.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and mentor a team of mechanical design engineers, guiding them on best practices in sheet metal design and development.
  • Manage workload allocation, project planning, and technical reviews for the team.
  • Foster a collaborative engineering culture focused on innovation, quality, and continuous improvement.
  • Conduct and drive design reviews, DFMEAs, and cross-functional technical discussions.
Individual Contributor
  • Design and develop complex sheet metal components, assemblies, and enclosures using CAD software (SolidWorks, CATIA, CREO, NX).
  • Create 3D models, 2D manufacturing drawings, and detailed BOMs.
  • Ensure all designs meet functional requirements, manufacturability, cost targets, and compliance standards.
  • Work closely with manufacturing, sourcing, and quality teams to validate design feasibility and resolve technical challenges.
  • Perform tolerance stack-ups, GD&T, and participate in prototype and production validation.
Required Skills and Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • 7+ years of experience in mechanical product design, with a strong emphasis on sheet metal components.
  • Proven experience working as both a technical leader and hands-on designer.
  • Proficiency in CAD tools (SolidWorks, CATIA V5, Creo).
  • Deep understanding of sheet metal processes: cutting, bending, forming, welding, and surface treatments.
  • Strong knowledge of GD&T, DFMEA, tolerance analysis, and material selection.
  • Excellent communication, team leadership, and project management skills.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Background in automotive, aerospace, or industrial equipment design.
  • Exposure to mixed-material designs (e.g., sheet metal + plastics).
  • Familiarity with PLM systems such as Teamcenter, Windchill, or Enovia.
