Responsibilities:

Design tooling, fixtures, and equipment in 3D CAD that satisfy load conditions, ergonomic requirements, and durability needs for field use

Build and test prototypes to validate design - including fit, function, and ease of use by non-engineers

Generate accurate 2D drawings using GD&T per ASME Y14.5 for internal fabrication or external vendors

Work with internal machine shops, fabrication teams, or external contractors to source and manufacture tooling

Partner with Service and Commercial Operations teams to understand requirements and iterate on designs

Inspect first articles, support field trials, and continuously improve tooling based on real-world feedback

Maintain clear documentation including BOMs, assembly instructions, and maintenance guides

Requirements:

2–5 years of experience in mechanical engineering or tooling/fixture design

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or similar field

Proficient in 3D CAD software

Experience designing and building prototypes

Familiarity with common fabrication methods: sheet metal, welding, machining, 3D printing

Ability to write and maintain clean documentation for design processes

Strong communication skills - able to translate field team needs into engineering requirements

Hands-on, pragmatic approach to problem solving

Bonus Qualifications:

Experience designing service tooling, ground support equipment, or maintenance fixtures

Background in automotive, aerospace, or heavy equipment service environments

Experience working with contract manufacturers or fabrication shops

Vehicle upfitting or mobile workshop design experience
