Job summary

New graduates welcome; 0–5 years experience; familiarity with SolidWorks or similar CAD tools; ready to work in dust and heat.

Qualifications

• 0–5 years of experience. New graduates are genuinely welcome here
• Working CAD ability in a major platform — SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or Creo/Pro-E — and the willingness to live in it
• Shop instincts: you’ve built things, broken things, and fixed them
• Enough data analysis to turn a test into a conclusion
• Willingness to be outside, in the dust and heat, when that’s where the answer is
• B.S. in mechanical, electrical, or mechatronics engineering, or equivalent hands‑on experience

Responsibilities

• Detail design of parts and subassemblies — your own CAD models and drawings, reviewed by a senior engineer
• Test rigs and instrumentation: build the fixture, wire the sensors, run the test, write up what happened
• Builds and retrofits, in the shop and sometimes at a field site
• Documentation crews can follow — service procedures, spares lists, and assembly instructions that work at 5 a.m.
