In this role, you will serve as the bridge between abstract concepts and physical machinery. This individual will generate a variety of fresh ideas and work with the team to transform them into fully realized projects.
This position does not require a formal engineering degree. Instead, we are looking for an individual with a strong background in industrial arts, industrial design, or engineering technology combined with a hands-on mechanical intuition.
Key Responsibilities- Concept Generation & Execution - Brainstorm a diverse range of design ideas and turn concepts into structured, executable custom equipment projects.
- Autodesk Inventor Modeling - Build, manage, and refine detailed 3D models, complex assemblies, and accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs) using Autodesk Inventor.
- Rapid Prototyping & 3D Printing - Evaluate, champion, and utilize 3D printing and advanced 3D modeling options to rapidly prototype components, test fits, prove concepts and/or produce production parts.
- Engineering Collaboration - Partner closely with the mechanical engineering team to refine designs, ensuring concepts align with specifications.
- Sourcing & Marketplace Integration - Leverage a deep understanding of industrial hardware marketplaces to identify and integrate purchased parts, optimizing design efficiency.
- Design Flexibility - Remain highly steerable and adaptable, seamlessly pivoting design directions based on engineering feedback, changes, or prototyping results.
- Design for manufacturability - including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T).
- CAD/Process Improvement - Identifying ways to streamline CAD and/or related work to improve company productivity. Ability to code (VB, iLogic, Python) and a deep knowledge of the "inner workings" of Inventor is a plus.
Qualifications- Experience - 7 to 10 years of proven experience in mechanical design, with a strong preference for experience in a custom equipment manufacturing or specialized machinery environment.
- Education & Background - Degree or background in Industrial Arts, Industrial Design, Engineering Technology, or equivalent hands-on industry experience.
- Software - Proficiency in Autodesk Inventor.
ETC offers competitive salaries and benefits and the opportunity to exercise your technical talents in a friendly and exciting work environment with a leading-edge technology company.
Candidates must be a US Citizen or an otherwise lawful US Resident.
