Mechanical Designer

• Develop and maintain 3D CAD models, assemblies, and 2D production drawings for off-road seating systems, components, and related hardware.
• Create and update engineering documentation including drawings (GD&T), BOMs, component specifications, design change records, and supporting product data.
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, purchasing, sales, and project teams to ensure designs meet product performance, manufacturability, cost, customer, and end-user requirements.
• Support design reviews, prototype builds, sample development, and fit/function evaluations for seats, seat structures, trim, cushions, brackets, and mounting components.
• Review component and product test results to confirm designs meet functional, performance, durability, safety, and customer requirements for off-road seating applications.
• Maintain accurate records of product designs, CAD models, drawings, revision history, and engineering documentation in accordance with company procedures.
• Comply with the Stage Gate product development process, engineering change processes, and applicable quality system requirements.

• Associate's degree in Mechanical Design, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Drafting/Design, or related field; bachelor's degree preferred.
• Two (2) years of mechanical design, CAD drafting, product design, or related internship/co-op experience preferred; seating, vehicle, or off-road equipment experience a plus.
• Proficiency with CREO or similar parametric solid modeling software, including assemblies, part modeling, surface modeling, and drawing creation.
• Ability to create and interpret engineering drawings using geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Ability to conceptualize design ideas, develop part and product designs, support engineering analysis, and apply practical problem-solving skills.
• Strong attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to manage multiple design tasks and project priorities in a timely manner.
