Job description

You build things. Not just in SolidWorks. Real things with your hands, your instincts, and a drive to solve problems that most engineers never encounter. We are looking for a Product Development Engineering Lead who thrives at the intersection of precision and creativity, where a parametric model in the morning might give way to a hand-built prototype by afternoon.
This is a role for someone who takes genuine pride in the craft. Someone who can own a project from kickoff to client presentation and still roll up their sleeves when it's time to get into the details.
The Nitty Gritty
  • Lead projects from conception through delivery including research, scheduling, third-party resource management, budgets, and scopes of work.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships through direct communication and polished presentations.
  • Lead multidisciplinary teams
  • Nurture design and engineering talent, help others become their best
  • Constantly learn and educate yourself - become a subject matter expert in anything
  • Research emerging technologies and advanced component engineering.
  • Understand client needs and build statement of work proposals
  • Attack challenging engineering problems quickly and creatively. Produce elegant solutions under real constraints.
  • Conduct periodic design reviews with engineers and designers
  • Develop and interpret system-level electrical block diagrams and MCOs.
  • You know how and can teach others to develop 3D CAD parts and assemblies to support detailed engineering, FEA simulation, and prototyping.
  • Drive complex 3D modeling in SolidWorks, including PDM Works, advanced surfacing, and parametric configurable assemblies.
  • Generate precise detail and assembly drawings.
  • Build mockups and prototypes craftsman-style, using hand tools with care and confidence.
  • Conduct system-level tolerance stack-up analyses.
  • Oversee others in quote, order, receive, inspect, and hand-build complex electromechanical prototypes end-to-end.
  • Test, analyze results, and iterate.

What You Bring
  • Comfort and energy in a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary, and multi-project environment. You can context-switch without losing (a bit) momentum.
  • Sharp instincts for identifying and communicating project risks before they become problems.
  • A collaborative nature. You communicate fluidly across disciplines and know that great work rarely happens alone.
  • The ability to juggle competing priorities with a level head and a positive attitude, even when the pressure is real.
  • Experience preparing timelines, calculations, and client-facing proposals.
  • Resilience. The design world rewards those who are genuinely passionate about making things.

Bonus Points
  • Experience managing external partners and vendors, including EE and SW firms, on joint development projects.
  • A knack for coordinating, shipping, and tracking parts across multiple active projects simultaneously.
  • Ability to assess manufacturing feasibility and select appropriate processes across diverse industries.
  • An award-winning sense of humor. (We're serious about this one.)
