Senior Product Design Engineer

As a Senior Product Design Engineer in our R&D department, you need to be an experienced, independent thinker, a creative problem solver, and above all, a passionate maker. Passion is the number one quality we are looking for: we want someone who is driven to build, tinker, and bring their own fresh ideas to the table. In this role, you will report directly to our Head of R&D. While you will take the lead on the specific products you design, you will work collaboratively alongside a highly enthusiastic team to shape the future of our product lines.

What You’ll Be Doing

• End-to-End CAD Design:

You will be leading the design of complex parts and products on a daily basis, utilizing your expert-level fluency in Autodesk Fusion to turn concepts into viable parts.

• Designing for Reality:

You will apply your deep understanding of various manufacturing processes (machining, molding, etc.) to your designs. You must know the pros, cons, and limitations of how things are actually made to ensure your ideas are practical and cost-effective to manufacture.

• Collaborative Design Reviews:

We hold our products to an incredibly high standard, which means our design reviews are direct, honest, and highly detailed. We are a team bonded by a shared goal of making the absolute best products possible. You will present your work and collaborate in an environment where constructive feedback is used to elevate everyone's projects.

• Bringing Fresh Ideas:

You will do more than execute assigned designs. We expect you to innovate, identify market gaps in our product lines, and confidently drive new R&D initiatives.

Who We Are Looking For

• Experienced & Proven:

You have 5+ years of professional experience in product design, mechanical engineering, or a closely related field.

• A Passionate Maker:

You genuinely love building things and have the hands-on experience to prove it. (Note: Be prepared to show and discuss your personal and professional projects during the interview, as we want to see what you love to make!)

• Autodesk Fusion Fluent:

You must be highly proficient and comfortable working in Autodesk Fusion.

• Resilient & Team-Oriented:

You have a positive, resilient mindset and welcome constructive criticism. You understand that direct feedback isn't personal; it is how a great team collaborates to achieve excellence.

• A Driven Self-Starter:

You have the drive and responsibility to manage your own workload and push projects across the finish line without needing constant guidance.

• Familiarity with Our World (A Big Bonus):

Experience using ServoCity® or goBILDA® products, or direct experience participating in or mentoring teams in FTC, FRC, VEX, or similar robotics competitions, is a major plus.

• Dental insurance
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
• Retirement plan
