Who You Are

You’ve probably had a screwdriver or a soldering iron in your hand since you were a kid. Your weekends are spent tinkering or creating: a homemade PC build, a 3D printer you can’t stop running, a bike or go-kart you took apart just to see how it worked. You’re the one in the group project who redesigns the process halfway through because you spotted a better way. You don’t wait around for direction; if something can be built better, you’re already sketching it!

This job hands you real projects on day one, not busy work. You’ll take small-to-medium products from concept through testing and into production: generating the drawings, running the tests, and owning the documentation that makes it real. Working directly with a seasoned Engineer, you’ll build hands-on skills in sheet metal, CAD, new product development, manufacturing and more, with the freedom to flag a better process and actually go build it. We don’t want to just create, we want to reinvent!

For our recent grads, look no further. This is a true, entry-level role that puts you on a pathway to a long-term career that doesn’t make you choose between pathway and Purpose. You can have both!

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field (completed or nearly complete); recent grads welcome!
  • Minimum 3.0 GPA preferred
  • Experience with a CAD program (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Inventor, or similar) through coursework, an internship, or personal projects
  • Sheet metal or injection molding experience from an internship or previous job preferred
  • A self-starter who takes initiative and is always looking for a better way to do things
  • Comfortable getting hands-on in an R&D environment, not just behind a desk
  • Hands-on personal projects: PC builds, 3D printing, robotics, or similar creative hobbies are a big plus

 

What You’ll Do

  • Lead small-to-medium New Product Development (NPD) projects through the entire development cycle
  • Conduct product testing on new and existing products
  • Create and maintain manufacturing drawings for new and existing products
  • Create and maintain engineering documentation: specs, install sheets, BOMs, and more
  • Identify and implement improvements to new and existing processes and products
  • Other projects and tasks as assigned by Engineering

Key Metrics

  • NPD milestones hit on or before their planned date (target: 85%+)
  • Product tests completed and logged on schedule (target: 95%+)
  •  Drawings and BOMs released error-free downstream (target: 95%+)
  • Documentation packages kept current and complete (target: 95%+)
  • Process improvements identified and put into practice (target: 4-6 per year)

What We Offer

We believe high performers should be rewarded clearly and fairly. We offer:

  • Competitive base salary
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Health insurance
  • 100% company-paid short- and long-term disability
  •  Up to $50,000 in company-paid life and AD&D coverag
  • Generous PTO and paid holidays, including Summer Hour Fridays
  • A high-growth company that promotes from within
  • A respected brand that customers trust and welcome

This is a place where effort is recognized, growth is supported, and performance is rewarded.
