Join Our Seating Team as a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer!

Are you a seasoned mechanical design engineer looking to take your career to the next level? We are seeking a passionate and innovative Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join our dynamic  seating team. If you have a knack for designing cutting-edge components and systems, and a drive to develop technically advanced prototypes, we want you on our team!

What You Will Do:

• Design major components and systems using state-of-the-art computer design and engineering tools.
• Develop and improve products, facilitating efficient manufacturing operations.
• Create detailed layouts, sketches, and notes for design proposals, considering ease of manufacture, material availability, and cost efficiency.
• Conduct in-depth investigations into design factors such as strength-weight efficiency and contractual specifications.
• Design, develop, and test both metallic and non-metallic structures and their fabrication processes.
• Ensure clarity, completeness, and accuracy in all design layouts and drawings.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams to coordinate interrelated designs and ensure seamless project completion.
• Perform weight analyses to meet contractual requirements without compromising structural integrity.
• Lead cost studies and provide technical leadership to junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
• Travel Requirements: 0-10% to a local sister site.

What You Will Learn

•   Advanced Design Techniques: They will gain expertise in using state-of-the-art computer design and engineering systems to create technically advanced prototypes and products. This includes designing major components and systems with precision and efficiency.
•   Problem-Solving Skills: The role involves resolving complex design challenges, which will enhance the candidate's problem-solving abilities. They will learn how to tackle difficult-to-complex scope design problems and develop innovative solutions.
•   Collaboration: Working closely with other engineering personnel and teams will teach the candidate how to coordinate interrelated designs and ensure project completion. They will learn the importance of effective communication and teamwork in achieving shared goals.
