We are in the process of bolstering our Engineering team and looking for someone to join that would fit our Design Engineer OR Senior Design Engineer role. Previous experience working as a builder, fabricator, tradesperson, or installer is preferred.

Design Engineers at Axiom play a pivotal role in transforming client designs into exceptional, custom-built products.

Design Engineers work collaboratively and are actively encouraged to engage in cross-functional teams, allowing them to expand their expertise and contribute to the success of a wide range of projects and the company.

Engineering Responsibilities + Experience

Generally, regardless of level of expertise, the Design Engineer (DE) ensures designs are profitable and within established budgets. They work closely with internal teams to understand design criteria, project requirements, and objectives. They generate accurate and detailed SolidWorks models and drawings that adhere to project requirements and Axiom standards. Creation of accurate bills of materials and parts lists that can be imported directly into production work orders and used for purchasing is a critical step. Understanding of Axiom's machines, tooling, equipment, resources, and processes, and allows the DE to incorporate those capabilities into designs. They then validate designs to ensure profitability, feasibility, and alignment with client requirements.

Designs must be able to manufactured without undue challenges, taking into account manufacturing processes, material availability, and practicality of construction. To complete work within specified times and adhere to due dates, the DE must understand billable hours sold and work within those constraints, utilizing our ERP and project management schedules. We expect the DE to collaborate to refine designs and optimize manufacturing processes as well as provide technical expertise to guide project managers, account managers, and sales teams in developing proposals that meet client needs. Ultimately, they translate conceptual designs, napkin sketches, or creative imagery into comprehensive assemblies and detailed production plans. It is important they evaluate and select materials based on project specifications and industry best practices and then ensure that designs are manufacturable and installable, considering manufacturing capabilities and constraints, as well as logistic and site conditions.
