  • Support electro-mechanical product development activities including enclosure and component integration
  • Create and modify 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, BOMs, and release packages
  • Assist with plastic injection molded part design and manufacturability considerations
  • Contribute to thermal management design efforts including airflow, heat dissipation, and component layout optimization
  • Collaborate with electrical, manufacturing, and engineering teams to resolve design issues and implement revisions
  • Support DFM/DFA initiatives to improve manufacturability and production readiness
  • Participate in design reviews and engineering change updates as needed
  • Maintain organized engineering documentation and revision control
Required Qualifications
  • 4–5 years of mechanical engineering experience in product development or manufacturing environments
  • Strong proficiency with one or more CAD platforms including SolidWorks, Creo, or Onshape
  • Experience working on electro-mechanical systems or assemblies
  • Background designing or supporting plastic injection molded components
  • Understanding of thermal management principles for electronic or power-related products
  • Experience creating and revising detailed manufacturing drawings and documentation
  • Strong attention to detail with the ability to clean up and standardize engineering drawings
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced engineering environment
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience supporting power electronics, battery systems, chargers, or industrial equipment
  • Familiarity with sheet metal, machining, or enclosure design
  • Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and DFM practices
  • Prior experience working with remote engineering teams or contract-based project work
Engagement Details
  • Part-time contract role
