Job summary

Roush is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to lead development of complex mechanical systems from concept to prototype. You will create robust CAD models, refine assemblies, and drive DFM/DFA considerations in a cross-functional team environment.

The role requires 4+ years in automotive/aerospace, strong problem-solving skills, and proven ability to manage multiple programs while mentoring junior engineers. Allen Park, MI-based position with comprehensive benefits.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• Minimum 4 years of experience in automotive, aerospace, or related industry experience.
• Experience with DFMEA, DVP&R, DFM, DFA and FEA.
• Advanced knowledge of mechanical systems such as; kinematics and motion analysis, multi-degree-of-freedom linkages, hinge and latch mechanisms, cam and follower systems, gear trains, spring and damping mechanisms.
• Hands-on troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work on multiple programs simultaneously.
• Excellent computer skills including Microsoft Office Suite.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to perform effectively in a team environment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain 3D CAD models of complex mechanical systems, including parts, large assemblies, mechanisms, and integrated subsystems.
• Build, manage, and validate large and configurable assemblies by performing interference checks, motion and fit analyses, and maintaining CAD data within a controlled, revision-managed, cross-functional environment.
• Create and refine solid and surface models to meet functional, aesthetic, and manufacturability requirements, incorporating DFM/DFA principles directly into design geometry.
• Translate customer needs into clear design requirements and feasible mechanical concepts, evolving designs from concept through prototype and supporting hardware development including testing all in a hands-on environment.
• Produce accurate and complete 2D manufacturing drawings from 3D models, including GD&T, tolerancing, and industry-standard documentation to support fabrication and inspection.
• Leverage CAD models to support engineering analysis, prototyping, testing, and supplier collaboration, including the use of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools to analytically validate and refine designs.
• Provide technical leadership through mentoring, design reviews, and enforcement of modeling standards and best practices, offering guidance and coaching to team members.
• Communicate design status, risks, and progress effectively through internal documentation and external customer reporting, while working hands-on in a mechanical development environment.
