The Opportunity

Were hiring a remote Manufacturing Design Engineer to embed with the engineering and tooling team of a U.S.-based manufacturing company. This is a hands-on execution role: clean, accurate, manufacturable CAD and documentation, delivered remotely and on time, so the on-site team can move faster. Physical validation stays on-site.

Youll work across two lanes, design/engineering and manufacturing, shifting between them as priorities require.

What Youll Do

• Convert 3D scan point cloud data into clean, manufacturable 3D models in SolidWorks
• Create and modify 3D CAD models and generate detailed 2D manufacturing prints with GD&T, dimensions, tolerances, and BOMs
• Support the design of tooling, fixtures, gauges, and other manufacturing aids from dimensions and reference photos
• Build and format clear work instructions in a digital work instruction platform (VKS)
• Run time studies from recorded operations and produce structured outputs the on-site team can act on
• Execute work through the companys engineering ticketing system as an embedded extension of the team

What Were Looking For

Required:

• Strong SolidWorks proficiency (3D modeling, 2D prints, GD&T-compliant documentation)
• Mechanical engineering degree or equivalent tenured design experience
• Solid grasp of drafting standards, manufacturing processes, and tolerancing
• Strong technical writing and high attention to detail
• Ability to work autonomously and communicate clearly over async channels

Helpful, not required:

• Tooling/fixture design, reverse engineering, or 3D scan post-processing experience
• Familiarity with VKS or similar work instruction platforms (training provided)
• Time and motion study experience
