Job description

Mechanical Design Engineer - Norton Shores, MI
DISHER is partnering with a leading U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of LED lighting solutions to add a Mechanical Design Engineer to their growing team. The Mechanical Design Engineer will contribute to the design and development of high-performance enclosures and housings for machine vision lighting solutions. This role requires a strong command
of mechanical engineering fundamentals, including design for manufacturing, design of assembly, sealing methodologies, thermal dissipation, tolerance stack up analysis, material selection, and design validation. The ideal candidate applies rigorous critical thinking to every stage of the product
design process, collaborating with internal engineering teams, manufacturing teams, and external suppliers to deliver reliable, production-ready designs.
What it's like to work here
The culture is built on five core values: Own It, Lift Others, Build Together, Do the Right Thing, and Raise the Bar. Teams take full ownership of their work from concept through production release, collaborating closely across mechanical, electrical, optical, firmware, test, manufacturing, and quality disciplines to deliver integrated, manufacturable products. Work is hands-on and practical and engineers build, test, and refine real products side by side, supporting one another and raising the standard on every build.
What you will get to do:
  • Lead design and development of mechanical enclosures, housings, and bracketry for LED-based machine vision lighting products using SolidWorks and 3DExperience
  • Apply mechanical engineering fundamentals in thermal dissipation, tolerance stack-up, sealing methodologies, and material selection to produce robust, manufacturable designs
  • Apply Design for Assembly (DFA) and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to reduce complexity and cost
  • Build and evaluate physical prototypes; conduct performance testing for thermal, structural, and dimensional requirements
  • Create 2D dimensioned drawings to communicate design intent and work effectively with machine shops and suppliers
  • Engage with external suppliers and machine shops to support fabrication; manage quoting, lead time tracking, and first article inspection (FAI)
  • Partner with mechanical, electrical, and optical engineers plus manufacturing and quality teams to ensure integrated product assembly
  • Represent mechanical engineering in project and customer meetings
  • Support compliance submission and certification processes (CE, UL, RoHS)
  • Generate and maintain complete engineering documentation: CAD models, 2D drawings, BOMs, specifications, and test reports

What will make you successful:
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, or related field highly preferred
  • 4+ years of mechanical product design experience
  • Deep proficiency in SolidWorks for 3D modeling, assemblies, and drawing creation; working knowledge of 3DExperience platform preferred
  • Background in electronics packaging or similarly precision-driven enclosure design preferred
  • Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, and validation of mechanical assemblies
  • Proficiency in tolerance stack-up analysis and material tradeoff communication
  • Knowledge of sheet metal and die cast design principles (bend reliefs, draft angles, parting lines)
  • Design experience with injection molded plastic components (wall thickness, draft, gate placement, tooling)
  • Familiarity with aluminum extrusion design and DFA/DFM principles in a production environment
  • Knowledge of IP rating standards and environmental sealing design (IP65/IP67); familiarity with CE, UL, RoHS a plus

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
