Design Engineering Manager

 

A market leader with top-notch facilities and a strong, healthy culture is adding a Design Engineering Manager due to growth in workload. The Product Engineering Manager has been covering both product and design engineering, and it has become unsustainable. This is a chance to take full ownership of Design Engineering and lead a small, capable team.

What you will do

  • Lead and align the Design Engineering team with organizational goals
  • Provide day-to-day leadership for 3 direct reports
  • Drive projects from concept through completion, delivering on scope, budget, and schedule
  • Create solid models for manufacturing tooling and fixtures, plus detailed, dimensioned drawings
  • Provide technical review and recommendations on sketches, descriptions, and specifications
  • Develop and test prototypes for new equipment and fixture designs as needed
  • Coordinate fabrication with internal partners (tool room, maintenance, etc.)
  • Lead and participate in formal design reviews and cross-functional collaboration
  • Use strong analytical problem-solving to build cost-effective, manufacturable solutions

What we are looking for

  • BS in Engineering required (Mechanical Engineering strongly preferred)
  • 8 to 10+ years of hands-on design engineering experience
  • Proven design experience from concept to completion
  • Background in tool and die, product development, and/or fixture design
  • Prior leadership experience managing technical design engineers
  • 1,000+ hours of 3D CAD experience (Inventor or equivalent; software flexibility is fine)
  • Strong working knowledge of Machinery’s Handbook
  • Solid understanding of manufacturing processes (milling, turning, welding, etc.) and real-world limitations
  • Ability to interpret 2D mechanical drawings and build practical, creative solutions
  • A “roll up your sleeves” mindset with comfort navigating ambiguity and driving execution

Why this role is attractive

  • Clear ownership of Design Engineering (not a split-focus role)
  • Quick decision-making and support for good ideas
  • A culture that rewards excellence and effort, with the resources to execute

Compensation and relocation

  • Base salary: $130,000 to $160,000 (no bonus)
  • Relocation: Up to $15,000 lump-sum offered

If you’d like to be considered, send a resume and a quick note on the types of tooling/fixture or equipment designs you’ve led, plus your 3D CAD background.
