Create scalable, rules-based configuration logic for multiple product families
Integrate engineering automation with ERP, CRM, and e-commerce platforms
Design and maintain SQL databases supporting engineering applications
Collaborate with engineering, software, and business teams to improve workflows
Troubleshoot and continuously improve automation performance
Help drive the future of digital engineering within a growing manufacturing organization

We're Looking For Someone Who Has

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronics
SolidWorks design and modeling experience
Experience with DriveWorks or another product configurator platform
SQL database experience
Python and/or JavaScript programming skills
Experience with GitHub, SOLIDWORKS PDM, or other version control tools
A passion for automation, process improvement, and solving complex engineering problems

Why Consider This Opportunity?

You'll work on projects that directly influence how products are engineered, manufactured, and delivered. This role offers the chance to modernize engineering processes, collaborate across multiple disciplines, and build scalable automation solutions that create lasting business impact.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine mechanical engineering, software development, and systems integration to solve meaningful challenges, we'd love to hear from you.
