Description
Build the Equipment That Builds Athletes
Do you get excited about steel fabrication, weldments, mechanical systems, and seeing a product go from a sketch to a finished machine on the production floor?
At Matrix Fitness, we're looking for a hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer to help create the next generation of commercial strength equipment used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, universities, professional teams, and health clubs around the world.
This isn't a role where you'll spend all day behind a computer.
You'll be designing, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and collaborating directly with manufacturing teams to bring innovative strength products to life.
If you have a passion for mechanical design, fabrication, welding, fitness equipment, machinery, automotive projects, racing, off-road vehicles, or building things with your own hands, we'd love to talk with you.
What You'll Take Ownership Of
Design Industry-Leading Strength Equipment
  • Design and develop innovative strength training products from concept through production
  • Create 3D CAD models, weldments, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks
  • Engineer structural steel components, fabricated assemblies, and mechanical mechanisms
  • Collaborate with Industrial Designers to transform concepts into production-ready equipment
  • Conduct engineering reviews to ensure performance, durability, safety, and manufacturability
  • Support product costing, tooling development, and supplier collaboration

Prototype, Build & Test
  • Participate in prototype builds and hands-on product testing
  • Evaluate product performance, durability, fatigue life, and user experience
  • Develop and execute validation plans and test procedures
  • Analyze design failures and implement improvements
  • Work directly with technicians, welders, fabricators, and manufacturing teams to solve real-world problems

Manufacturing & Product Launch
  • Support new product launches from development through production
  • Collaborate with domestic and international manufacturing teams
  • Travels internationally 2-4 times a year 1-2 weeks at a time for both manufacturing and trade show support.
  • Improve product quality, assembly efficiency, and manufacturing processes
  • Investigate production issues and implement long-term solutions
  • Drive continuous improvement and value engineering initiatives

Requirements
What Makes Someone Successful in This Role?
We're looking for engineers who enjoy getting out of the office and into the shop. You may be a great fit if you:
  • Have work or personal experience with welding, fabrication, machining, automotive projects, racing, motorcycles, or building equipment
  • Have experience working with steel structures, weldments, and fabricated assemblies
  • Like solving practical mechanical challenges
  • Are comfortable working directly with prototypes and production teams
  • Want to see your designs become real products used around the world
  • Have a passion for strength training, fitness equipment, or sports performance

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
  • 2+ years of mechanical design, product development, or manufacturing engineering experience
  • Proficiency with 3D CAD software (SolidWorks preferred)
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting skills
  • Ability to work effectively with engineering, manufacturing, and cross-functional teams
  • Strong communication and project management skills

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience designing welded, fabrication, machined, or manufacturing steel structures.
  • Knowledge of strength training equipment, fitness equipment, or sporting goods products
  • Experience with FEA, structural analysis, DFMEA, and product validation testing
  • Consumer or commercial product development experience
  • Familiarity with sheet metal, tubing, castings, and injection-molded components
  • Experience supporting products from prototype through mass production

Why Join Matrix?
