Process Design Engineer

About the Opportunity

This is a great opportunity for an early-career engineer or recent graduate who enjoys working hands‑on with CAD models, manufacturing data, and process documentation . The role was created to better balance workload across the engineering team and will focus heavily on data handling, modeling, and manufacturing support , while more senior engineers manage quoting and advanced job planning.

If you’re someone who enjoyed internships or co‑ops in manufacturing and wants to continue building strong technical fundamentals in a real‑world production environment, this role offers excellent exposure and mentorship.

What You’ll Do

• Create, validate, and maintain manufacturing models and CAD data using 2D drawings, scan data, and specifications
• Support manufacturing teams with post‑PO technical assistance related to materials, subcontracting, and production readiness
• Assist with process design and optimization for machining and contract manufacturing projects
• Prepare and maintain accurate engineering documentation , including CAD files, drawings, and controlled data
• Perform data entry and maintenance in ERP systems , including detailed routings and bills of material
• Participate in design reviews with internal teams and customers to ensure manufacturability and quality alignment
• Research materials, features, and manufacturing methods to support feasibility and continuous improvement
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to resolve design‑related or manufacturability challenges
• Stay current on emerging manufacturing technologies, materials, and design tools
• Support safety, quality, and continuous improvement initiatives on the shop floor

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology , or similar
• 2+ years of experience in process engineering, estimating, or manufacturing support
• Strong CAD skills with a desire to work heavily in modeling and data
• Solid understanding of machining fundamentals, blueprint reading, and GD&T
• Comfortable working with manufacturing data, ERP systems, and detailed documentation
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team‑oriented mindset
• Detail‑oriented, organized, and eager to learn in a production environment

Nice to Have (Not Required)

• Exposure to CNC machining or contract manufacturing environments
• Experience with 3D modeling , Siemens NX, or Powermill
• ERP experience
• Familiarity with ITAR or controlled manufacturing environments

Why This Role Makes Sense Early in Your Career

• Heavy hands‑on exposure to CAD, manufacturing data, and real production workflows
• Clear role focus — not overloaded with quoting or senior‑level responsibilities
• Opportunity to grow alongside experienced engineers and build strong fundamentals
• Stable manufacturing environment with meaningful technical work from day one
