Job Description
Associate Design Engineer | Carson, CARegular Employee | Salary Exempt | $75,000.00 - 82,000.00What you'll do: The Associate Design Engineer is responsible for supporting engineering design, drafting,documentation, product improvement, current production portfolio support, designtesting, validation fixtures, and engineering release activities. This role assists with creatingand updating CAD models, drawings, bills of material, controlled engineering documents,technical presentations, and basic test or validation fixture concepts while working closelywith Engineering, Production, Quality, Purchasing, Sales, Management, and CustomerSupport. The position is intended for an early-career engineer who can apply mechanicalengineering fundamentals, learn company design standards, support manufacturabilityimprovements, assist with troubleshooting, and help maintain accurate engineering datawithin the PDM system. The Associate Design Engineer will also contribute to continuousimprovement efforts by helping identify drawing issues, manufacturing inefficiencies,quality concerns, warranty claim trends, documentation gaps, design inconsistencies, andopportunities to standardize parts, assemblies, fixtures, and engineering practices.
Create, revise, and maintain 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, assemblies, andengineering documentation using SolidWorks.
Support design changes, engineering releases, and drawing updates through thePDM software workflow.
Assist with bills of material, part numbers, revision control, drawing packages, anddocument accuracy to support production, purchasing, quoting, and customerservice needs.
Prepare and update fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, installation details,layout drawings, and supporting documentation based on engineering direction.
Work with Engineering, Production, and Quality to resolve drawing questions, fit-upconcerns, manufacturability issues, and documentation gaps.
Support the current production portfolio by troubleshooting manufacturinginefficiencies, recurring build issues, fit-up problems, and process-related concernsthat may require engineering review or design clarification.
Assist in investigating quality issues and warranty claims by reviewing drawings,parts, assemblies, field feedback, production history, and engineeringdocumentation to help identify potential design, documentation, or manufacturingcontributors.
Recommend practical corrective actions, drawing updates, design improvements, ordocumentation changes to reduce repeat quality issues, production disruptions, andwarranty-related concerns.
Support product improvement, standardization, and cost-reduction initiatives bydeveloping practical design updates under engineering guidance.
Review legacy drawings and models for accuracy, completeness, and alignment withcurrent engineering standards.
Assist with engineering change requests by gathering required information, updatingaffected drawings, coordinating review comments, and supporting release readiness.
Participate in design reviews, prototype evaluations, production feedback reviews,and corrective action discussions as needed.
Support dimensional checks, basic design verification, component fit reviews, andengineering documentation validation.
Design and help build basic design testing and validation fixtures to support productevaluation, prototype verification, production troubleshooting, qualityinvestigations, and warranty-related analysis.
Maintain organized engineering records and ensure released files are properlystored, controlled, approved, and accessible through PDM.Prepare clear documentation, summaries, and presentations to explain designchanges, engineering updates, product modifications, and technicalrecommendations to different audiences, including Sales, Management, Production,Quality, and Customer Support.
Communicate status, risks, missing information, and open action items clearly toengineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
What you need to be successful: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering required.1 to 2 years of experience in engineering design, drafting, manufacturingengineering, or a related technical role.
Proficiency with CAD software, preferably SolidWorksExperience using PDM software for file management, revision control, andengineering release workflows.
Familiarity with microcontrollers and basic control systems, including actuators,proximity sensors, switches, and related electromechanical components.
Basic understanding of metal manufacturing and inspection methods, includingcutting, shearing, bending, welding, fabrication, fit-up, dimensional checks, andrelated production processes. Hands-on operation is not required, but the engineermust understand how these processes affect design intent, manufacturability,quality, and inspection requirements.
Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, assemblies, bills of material, andtechnical specifications.
Strong attention to detail, organization, and follow-through.
Good communication skills with the ability to work effectively with Engineering,Production, Quality, Purchasing, and Customer Support.
