Job description

Our Designers are hands-on problem solvers who collaborate closely with Husco’s Advanced Manufacturing team to bring innovative, customer-driven equipment designs to life. In this role, you’ll translate ideas into functional models, tackle complex design challenges, and help shape solutions that drive real impact. If you are detail oriented, quick to pick up new techniques, and naturally collaborative, this role will be a great fit for you. Our Designers combine a strong mechanical/technical foundation with the ability to shift gears quickly in a dynamic environment.

Able to grasp new component design concepts, creating design layouts that determine the relationship between components, tolerances, allocation of space, and component geometry.
• Design for Assembly and Manufacturability: Investigate design options to reduce cost, improve performance, and optimize manufacturability. Ensure design features, dimensions, tolerances, and allowances conform to functional and manufacturing requirements. Participate in machine assembly and set-up in accordance with produced drawings and documentation- involvement from design to production.
• Design Change Requirements: Properly update and store prints in necessary locations with care toward ensuring revision control is maintained. Will be involved with redesign concepts to improve performance.
• Scale Steep Learning Curve: Rapidly expand equipment and component knowledge. A wide variety of new machines and applications are developed within the Advanced Manufacturing department, requiring a successful Designer to grasp concepts and build a deep knowledge of component design requirements and available devices quickly.

What You’ll Need

• Associate’s Degree (or equivalent military or formal training) in Mechanical Design or Mechanical Engineering Technology.
• Minimum of three (3) years of CAD design experience (SolidWorks is a plus).
• Thorough understanding of engineering drawing practices, ANSI standards, and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
