Job description

Design what goes to work. Build what lasts. Based in Dixon, IL.

Imagine starting your day reviewing a new custom build: a heavy-duty chassis, specialized body, and a set of hydraulic and electrical needs that push you to think three steps ahead. By mid-morning, you’re finalizing a 3D CAD model, validating weight distribution, and synchronizing hydraulic and electrical schematics. After lunch, you’re on the floor, supporting installers with technical guidance, then back with Sales to confirm specs align with the customer’s mission. That’s a typical day as our Custom Truck Upfitting Applications Design Engineer.

What you’ll tackle
  • Own truck equipment application projects from concept through on‑vehicle installation
  • Create and iterate 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, and clear installation documentation
  • Engineer chassis layouts and perform weight distribution analyses for safe, compliant integration
  • Develop and maintain hydraulic and electrical schematics for reliable operation and serviceability
  • Provide hands‑on technical support and troubleshooting to installation teams
  • Lead technical reviews with Sales and Installation to ensure accuracy and compatibility
  • Streamline quoting, design, and installation workflows for speed and repeatability
  • Support custom and prototype builds from first article through production handoff
  • Drive modular, standardized design approaches to boost manufacturing efficiency
  • Stay current on regulations, trends, and emerging tech in truck equipment and chassis systems
What you bring
  • Education: Associate’s or Bachelor’s in Engineering, Engineering Technology, CAD Design, or related technical field preferred
  • Experience: 3+ years in equipment design, truck body integration, applications engineering, or similar fields (required)
  • Knowledge: Hydraulic and electrical systems with strong schematic interpretation skills (required); familiarity with DOT or FMVSS regulations (preferred)
  • Software: 3D CAD proficiency (required); SolidWorks experience (preferred)
Compensation, schedule, and location
  • Pay: $60,000 – $80,000 per year
  • Type: Full‑time, 1st Shift, On‑site
  • Schedule: Monday – Friday, normal business hours
  • Location: Dixon, IL
Benefits
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Profit Sharing
  • Health Savings Account with company match
  • Short‑ and Long‑Term Disability
  • Tuition Reimbursement
  • PTO
  • Paid Holidays
  • And More!
