Design Engineer - Electromechanical Products
Midwest-based facility Hands-On Design + Lab Work HVAC, Transportation, Aerospace, Industrial Applications
We're hiring a Design Engineer who's equally comfortable at a CAD workstation as they are troubleshooting in a lab. This is a hybrid design/lab role supporting the development of electric heating systems across diverse industries-from aerospace to food service.
If you enjoy seeing your designs come to life and collaborating cross-functionally from concept to launch, this is a great opportunity to join a team focused on innovation, quality, and product performance.
What You'll Do
- Create detailed 2D and 3D CAD designs, models, and basic electrical schematics
- Select materials, components, and manufacturing processes with performance and cost in mind
- Support prototype builds, testing setups, and product troubleshooting in a lab setting
- Maintain BOMs, drawings, and part numbers in ERP (Epicor)
- Lead or assist in DFMEA, validation activities, and cost-reduction initiatives
- Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and purchasing to resolve product issues
- Support product documentation, compliance testing, and customer-facing technical efforts
- Manage engineering change notices (ECNs) and product updates across the lifecycle
Design + Lab Hybrid Role
Roughly 25-40% of your time will be spent in a lab environment. We're looking for someone who believes that getting hands-on is critical to great design.
What You Bring
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering
- 1-4 years of product or design engineering experience
- Experience with 2D and 3D CAD tools (Autodesk Inventor preferred)
- Knowledge of basic electromechanical systems and manufacturing processes
- Strong collaboration and problem-solving skills
- Familiarity with ERP systems and documentation (Epicor a plus)
- Exposure to UL, NFPA, or related standards is helpful
- Experience with FEA tools or design analysis is a plus
- Must be a U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder (no sponsorship available)
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Full benefits package
- Hands-on, team-oriented work environment
- Exposure to full product lifecycle development
