At Harvey Performance Company, we're more than a team; we're a community. Our thriving, dynamic, and rapidly expanding organization values community, celebrates success, and fosters personal and professional growth opportunities.

The Design Engineer applies concept development, simulation, computational modeling, and digital design activities. This position ensures engineering decisions are grounded in rigorous analysis and expert technical evaluation prior to physical testing. The Design Engineer exercises discretion in selecting analytical methods, interpreting data, and making recommendations that directly influence product development outcomes.

• Develop and manage computational models and analysis tools in MATLAB to support performance prediction, optimization and data processing
• Build accurate FEA and simulation models that reflect realistic material behavior, loading conditions and boundary constraints
• Evaluate and interpret analytical predictions with empirical test results to improve model fidelity
• Maintain and continuously improve simulation standards, modeling templates and computational best practices
• Create detailed 3D models and productionready prints using advanced CAD methodologies supported by tolerance analysis
• Generate, validate and release initial tool programs using platforms such as Tool Studio, VGpro and Numroto
• Maintain comprehensive technical design logs documenting analytical assumptions, engineering reasoning, and design decisions
• Create and manage engineering data imports to ensure accurate product creation, release, and traceability across enterprise systems
• Ensure precise transfer of geometry, program data, and BOM structures into crossfunctional systems, and resolve discrepancies or technical issues
• Provide technical documentation and guidance to manufacturing, operations, and supply chain stakeholders
• Demonstrates ongoing industry engagement around best practices and trends through professional study, field visits, tradeshows, and literature review.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) or related field, advanced degree preferred
• 5+ years of experience in design engineering, preferably in tooling, precision components or manufacturing environments
• Proficiency in advanced CAD modeling (SolidWorks)
• Proficiency in MATLAB for data analysis, modeling, optimization or automation
• Familiarity with tool grinding and related CAM platforms (ToolStudio, VGPro, Mastercam, NX)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical decisions and engineering rationale across functional teams
• High degree of accuracy, discipline, and professional judgment in documentation and revision control
• Proficiency with computational fluid dynamics and finite element analysis software (XFlow, AdvantEdge)
