We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer with proven expertise in Design for Manufacturing (DFM) to contribute to the development of Variable Message Sign (VMS) systems for Department of Transportation (DOT) applications. In this role, you will collaborate closely with manufacturing, electrical, and software teams to create designs that are durable, cost-efficient, and well-suited for both production and field use.
Design and build mechanical components and assemblies for VMS products, including housings, mounting systems, and environmental protection features
Incorporate Design for Manufacturing (DFM) best practices to improve manufacturability, assembly efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and product quality
Develop and maintain detailed 3D models, assemblies, and engineering drawings using SolidWorks
Oversee design data, revisions, and workflows with in PDMWorks, including configuration management and release processes
Create and sustain SOLIDWORKS macros and PDMWorks automation tools to streamline product scaling (such as adjusting sign sizes, updating configurations, and automatically generating drawings and BOMs) while ensuring consistency and reducing manual effort
Conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using SOLIDWORKS Simulation to assess structural integrity, thermal behavior, and stress/strain performance, ensuring designs meet durability and safety requirements before release
Assist with prototype development, production ramp-up, and validation testing under environmental and field conditions
Collaborate with electrical and software teams to ensure seamless integration of system components
Develop and maintain bills of materials (BOMs), assembly documentation, and work instructions
Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Design, or a related field preferred, or equivalent hands-on experience in mechanical design and manufacturing
Proficiency in SolidWorks, including part modeling, assemblies, and technical drawings
Experience with PDMWorks or similar product data management systems for handling revisions and maintaining design data
Hands-on experience working closely with manufacturing or production teams
Solid knowledge of materials, fabrication techniques (such as sheet metal, welding, and machining), and assembly processes
Experience creating, releasing, and managing Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) through completion
Experience designing products for outdoor or industrial environments, including IP-rated enclosures, thermal management solutions, and durability considerations
Familiarity with Department of Transportation (DOT) or transportation-related systems, such as signage or traffic control equipment
Basic knowledge of electrical systems, including AC/DC power and integration of communication protocols like UART and Ethernet
Experience addressing production challenges, conducting root cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions
Experience using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) within SOLIDWORKS to analyze airflow and evaluate thermal performance in designs
Combination of design work and shop-floor engagement
Occasional support for field installations or issue resolution
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities
