Senior Product Design Engineer

Our partners who are a leading manufacturer in the work truck industry, are looking for a highly skilled Design Engineer who is driven to make things better, not just different.Not sure what skills you will need for this opportunity Simply read the full description below to get a complete picture of candidate requirements.What You'll DoYou will own the mechanical design of real products—products that roll off our factory floor in Mentor, Ohio every single day and earn their living in the field. That accountability is not abstract. You'll see your decisions in steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. You'll see them in the hands of the customers who depend on them.More specifically, you will:Design and develop complex mechanical assemblies that integrate structural, electrical, and hydraulic systems into cohesive, manufacturable solutionsDrive the full product definition—from concept through production release—with a relentless focus on quality and cost competitivenessExploit the capabilities of our advanced manufacturing assets: robotic press brakes, robotic welders, and high-performance laser cutting systems. The best designs are written around the tools that build themCollaborate with our supply chain team to identify and qualify new suppliers who bring capability, capacity, and long-term valuePartner with product management to translate customer needs into the right feature sets—no more, no lessSupport production by solving design-related issues at the source and improving manufacturability on every revision cycleStay ahead of technical developments and industry standards that affect our product lines and competitive positionWhat You BringYou don't need to have designed a snowplow before. You need to have the mindset that gets you there:Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering Technology10+ years of hands-on experience with complex, multi-component mechanical assembliesDemonstrated ability to design for manufacturability—balancing structural integrity, ease of assembly and overall valuePractical knowledge of metal fabrication processes and how design choices translate to real-world production outcomesExperience evaluating test data and translating results into meaningful design improvementsComfort working across disciplines—you understand how mechanical design interfaces with electrical and hydraulic systems, and you're not intimidated by eitherStrong communication skills and the ability to align cross-functional teams around a clear design directionA disciplined, organized approach to documentation and design management—rigor is not optional hereSelf-motivated, results-driven, and capable of sustaining high output in a fast-moving environmentWhy This Place, Why Now!We have state-of-the-art manufacturing on site—robotic press brakes, robotic welders, and laser cutting systems that give us a genuine competitive edge. The engineers who thrive here are the ones who see those capabilities as an invitation, not just a constraint. They design products that exploit every advantage those machines provide.We have a large, loyal, and active customer base that is ready to buy the products you design.

We are a growing force within the industry, and we want engineers who want to be part of that ascent.The right candidate doesn't just read a job description and send a resumé. They want to see the floor. They want to stand next to a robotic welder and understand what it can do. They want to meet the leaders of the company, show their curiosity, and talk through their experience with pride.We want to show you what we're building. Walk the production floor. See the laser cutting equipment run, watch the robotic press brakes work, and meet the engineering leaders who are shaping where this company goes next. That conversation will be the beginning of something, not a formality.We're growing—adding capability, capacity, and reach with every passing year. The engineers who join us at this moment grow with that structure. Your skills deepen as our products evolve. Your influence expands as our market does. xhyhwjd What you design today becomes the foundation for what we build tomorrow. That's not a promise of a title or a ladder to climb—it's something more tangible: a company that's building, and a role that rises with it.
