You'll join a collaborative team where your ideas directly impact product performance, quality, and innovation.

What You'll Do

  • Collaborate across engineering, quality, manufacturing, and program management to lead new product development from concept to launch.
  • Use SolidWorks to design flex joints and related assemblies; apply GD&T and tolerance analysis for manufacturability.
  • Create accurate 2D drawings, 3D models, and BOMs; manage design data in EPDM.
  • Interpret customer data to drive design decisions; support APQP with prototypes and technical analysis.
  • Identify opportunities to improve products, processes, and technologies.
  • Lead durability testing of heavy- and light-vehicle stainless steel bellows for intake, exhaust, and on-engine applications.
  • Plan and execute vehicle measurements at OEM proving grounds; manage data acquisition aligned with customer schedules.
  • Design and implement custom test fixtures, ensuring all measurement equipment is calibrated and maintained.
  • Analyze test data, assess risks, and provide clear, actionable feedback to internal teams and customers.
  • Maintain DVP&R and DFMEA documents for all new products.
  • Support continuous improvement of test methods, equipment, and product durability.
  • Travel to customer sites for design reviews, technical presentations, and testing.
  • Assist in lab testing: vibration, corrosion, fatigue, and root cause analysis.
  • Contribute to benchmarking and R&D projects for new technologies.

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Self-driven, organized, and detail oriented.
  • Ability to present to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • CAD/CAE proficiency, particularly with SolidWorks.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills.
  • Willingness to travel up to 25% domestically and internationally.

Nice to Have

  • 2–3 years SolidWorks experience with parametric or automated design.
  • Experience with FMEA, DVP&R, PPAP, GD&T, and Design for Manufacturability.
  • Knowledge of welding, metal forming, fatigue, NVH, and vehicle powertrain.
  • Familiarity with EPDM, SAP, and statistical failure analysis.
  • Hands-on experience with data acquisition and vibration analysis.
