• Own assigned engineering packages from concept through production release
• Develop and review 3D models, drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation
• Partner with product design to translate design concepts into manufacturable furniture solutions
• Define materials, hardware, construction details, tolerances, and drawing requirements appropriate to the product and manufacturing process
• Evaluate designs for manufacturability, assembly, cost, material usage, and production efficiencies
• Support modular power integration, supplier coordination, and fit-up within furniture products
• Coordinate with production, purchasing, and suppliers to resolve technical questions and improve product documentation
• Support product development for tables, case goods, work surfaces, storage, and related furniture products
• Help improve CAD standards, drawing standards, engineering documentation, and product development processes
• Support product release readiness by ensuring models, drawings, BOMs, and documentation are complete and accurate

Detail-oriented, mechanically minded, and interested in how products are designed, engineered, and manufactured. You enjoy solving practical problems

and working through the details that turn a design concept into a real product.

You are someone who:

• 3-5 years of relevant experience in CAD, product design, mechanical design, drafting, engineering support, product engineering, or manufacturing preferred
• Demonstrated ability to independently create and review 3D models, assemblies, drawings, BOMs, and manufacturing documentation
• Working knowledge of CAD software; experience with SolidWorks and/or Autodesk Inventor preferred
• Understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, assemblies, and product construction
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and customer requirements
• Ability to make sound engineering recommendations related to materials, construction, hardware, and manufacturability
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in models, drawings, BOMs, and documentation
• Good communication skills and the ability to work with cross-functional teams
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities in a manufacturing environment

• Experience with custom furniture, contract furniture, cabinetry, millwork, case goods, or related manufactured products
• Working knowledge of wood products, laminate, veneer, metal, hardware, fasteners, and common furniture construction methods
