Qualifications

• Proven experience developing mechanical products from concept through production.
• Direct experience designing light-gauge stamped or formed sheet-metal parts.
• Direct experience designing injection-molded plastic parts and assemblies.
• Strong proficiency with SolidWorks, including parts, assemblies, sheet-metal tools, and production drawings.
• Strong understanding of DFM and DFA principles for metals and plastics.
• Knowledge of injection-molding requirements, including material selection, draft, wall thickness, ribs, shrinkage, tooling, and mold qualification.

Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical product development from concept through design, prototyping, testing, tooling, validation, and production launch.
• Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, production drawings, BOMs, and release documentation using SolidWorks.
• Design light‑gauge sheet‑metal components for stamping, forming, bending, and repeat production.
• Design injection‑molded plastic parts using proper material selection, draft, wall thickness, ribs, shrinkage, tolerances, and tooling considerations.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability and Design for Assembly principles to improve quality, cost, cycle time, and production efficiency.
• Perform tolerance stack‑ups, basic FEA, stress calculations, and thermal assessments as needed.
• Work with manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and tooling partners to address design and production issues.
• Support prototype builds, testing, mold trials, first articles, pilot production, and product validation.
• Resolve post‑launch concerns involving product performance, tooling, quality, assembly, or manufacturing.
• Identify opportunities to reduce material costs, assembly labor, lead times, defects, and production waste.
• Support continuous product improvement using Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and structured problem‑solving practices.

Job Description

Product Design Engineer

$110,000-$120,000 plus bonus | Fully on-site; remote work is not available|North Little Rock, AR

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Product Design Engineer to develop mechanical products from initial concept through production launch and continuous improvement.

This is a hands‑on, cradle-to-grave engineering role for someone with direct experience designing products for high-volume, repeat manufacturing. The ideal candidate will have strong SolidWorks skills and proven experience designing both light‑gauge stamped or formed sheet‑metal components and injection‑molded plastic parts.

This position is best suited for a product engineer rather than someone whose experience is primarily focused on custom machinery, one‑off equipment, prototypes, or welded fabrication.

Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical product development from concept through design, prototyping, testing, tooling, validation, and production launch.
• Create detailed 3D models, assemblies, production drawings, BOMs, and release documentation using SolidWorks.
• Design light‑gauge sheet‑metal components for stamping, forming, bending, and repeat production.
• Design injection‑molded plastic parts using proper material selection, draft, wall thickness, ribs, shrinkage, tolerances, and tooling considerations.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability and Design for Assembly principles to improve quality, cost, cycle time, and production efficiency.
• Perform tolerance stack‑ups, basic FEA, stress calculations, and thermal assessments as needed.
• Work with manufacturing, quality, suppliers, and tooling partners to address design and production issues.
• Support prototype builds, testing, mold trials, first articles, pilot production, and product validation.
• Resolve post‑launch concerns involving product performance, tooling, quality, assembly, or manufacturing.
• Identify opportunities to reduce material costs, assembly labor, lead times, defects, and production waste.
• Support continuous product improvement using Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and structured problem‑solving practices.

Qualifications

• Proven experience developing mechanical products from concept through production.
• Direct experience designing light‑gauge stamped or formed sheet‑metal parts.
• Direct experience designing injection‑molded plastic parts and assemblies.
• Strong proficiency with SolidWorks, including parts, assemblies, sheet‑metal tools, and production drawings.
• Strong understanding of DFM and DFA principles for metals and plastics.
• Knowledge of injection‑molding requirements, including material selection, draft, wall thickness, ribs, shrinkage, tooling, and mold qualification.
• Experience creating drawings, BOMs, specifications, and engineering‑release documentation.
• Experience supporting prototypes, product testing, tooling, validation, and production launches.
• Ability to perform tolerance analysis and basic mechanical engineering calculations.
• Understanding of how product design affects cost, tooling, cycle time, assembly labor, quality, and production efficiency.
• Strong communication, problem‑solving, project‑management, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to work fully on‑site.

Preferred Experience

• Mold‑flow analysis or experience interpreting mold‑flow results.
• Mold trials, first articles, tooling qualification, and production startup.
• PDM or engineering document‑control systems.
• Ventilation systems, fans, HVAC components, or similar mechanical products.
• Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, value engineering, or root‑cause analysis.

Compensation and Benefits

• Healthcare premiums paid 100% by the company.
• 401(k) with a 100% company match on the first 8% contributed.
• 100% company match on eligible catch‑up contributions for employees age 50 and older.
• Opportunity to join a privately owned, debt‑free, all‑cash company.
• Stable organization with continued growth and long‑term career potential.
• Opportunity to own products throughout their complete lifecycle while working with an experienced engineering team.
