Manufacturing Interface (SolidWorks & GD&T)
Our client is seeking a hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer to design mechanical components and assemblies in SolidWorks and deliver fully manufacturable drawing packages to production. This role sits at the intersection of design and manufacturing and requires strong GD&T, attention to detail, and the ability to execute quickly with minimal supervision. This is a design-heavy role, focused on turning SolidWorks models into precise drawings that manufacturing can build correctly the first time.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Design mechanical parts and assemblies using SolidWorks
2. Convert 3D models into complete, accurate 2D drawings suitable for manufacturing.
3. Apply GD&T correctly and consistently to ensure fit, function, and manufacturability.
4. Design components with Design for Manufacture (DFM) principles in mind.
5. Collaborate closely with manufacturing, test, and other engineering teams to ensure smooth handoff.
6. Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback efficiently and professionally.
7. Maintain engineering documentation including drawings, revisions, and BOMs.
8. Deliver high-quality work quickly and accurately, matching stated skill level with output.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
1. Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
2. Strong, hands-on experience with SolidWorks (daily user).
3. Proven ability to produce manufacturing-ready drawings from CAD models.
4. Solid working knowledge of GD&T (not theoretical — applied).
5. Experience designing parts that are actually built (machined, sheet metal, molded, etc.).
6. Comfortable working on-site in a collaborative engineering environment.
7. Able to take direction and correction constructively and iterate designs efficiently.
PREFERRED/NICE TO HAVE
1. Experience working closely with manufacturing teams or suppliers.
2. Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems (e.g., TDM, Teamcenter, or similar).
3. Exposure to test fixtures, system assemblies, or industrial equipment.
4. Background in high-mix / low-volume manufacturing environments.
5. What Will Make Someone Successful in This Role
6. They say they can do SolidWorks + GD&T — and they actually can
7. They produce clean drawings that manufacturing doesn't have to “fix”
8. They work fast without being sloppy
9. They take feedback without ego
10. They are comfortable being on-site and embedded with the team
