Job description

Veev is leading the transformation of the construction industry with an innovative approach to modular home construction. Veev’s prefabricated closed‑panel systems allow homes to be assembled efficiently on‑site while delivering a more sustainable and higher‑quality final product than traditional construction.

• Manage the facility layout; create layout content as equipment enters, leaves and moves around the facility, integrate layouts from other teams into the central layout and maintain consistent standards.

Must‑Have Skills And Competencies

• Strong foundation in mechanical design and drafting principles, including applicable industry standards.
• Experience with parametric modeling (SolidWorks) and 2D CAD (AutoCAD).
• Working knowledge of residential architectural systems design.
• Ability to interpret and create technical drawings for manufacturing and installation.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing methods, materials, and production workflows, with the ability to design for manufacturability and assembly.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, and documentation discipline.
• Ability to manage multiple projects concurrently in a fast‑paced, production‑oriented environment.

Education & Experience

• B.Sc. in Manufacturing Engineering or other relevant field (Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical, Civil, etc.) or 4+ years equivalent, relevant experience.
• 7-10 years of experience as a Manufacturing Engineer, Equipment Engineer, Process Engineer or similar (11-14 years for non‑degreed applicants).
