• Support product development from concept through production release.
• Work closely with shop personnel to ensure designs translate effectively to fabrication and assembly.
• Assist with troubleshooting design or fitment issues during production and installation.
• Contribute to wiring layouts and basic electrical integration for truck equipment.
• Utilize ERP systems to manage part data, revisions, and production workflows.

Qualifications

• Required: Experience using SolidWorks for 3D modeling, assemblies, and drawings.
• Required: Ability to create accurate, production‑ready drawings and BOMs.
• Required: Hands‑on mindset with willingness to spend time in a shop environment.
• Required: Strong attention to detail and problem‑solving skills.
• Preferred: Experience using SolidWorks configurations.
• Preferred: Familiarity with truck equipment, upfitting, or similar industries.
• Preferred: Basic knowledge of truck electrical systems, wiring, and components.
• Preferred: Experience working with ERP systems.
• Preferred: Understanding of manufacturing processes including welding, forming, and assembly.
