Product Engineer
We are seeking a full-time Product Engineer who appreciates attention to detail, a versatile environment, and a broad list of product design projects. Gaining an interesting experience is something we can guarantee here. Coming into the shop, you may be challenged with designing an air intake system, developing an oil cooler setup, dyno testing an intercooler, or fabricating an oil catch can bracket. Each of these projects is likely to be on different vehicles. A BMW one week, perhaps a Miata the next. This provides the opportunity to work on a variety of vehicles and create ideal solutions for customers seeking upgraded components.
What you’ll do:
- Your typical week includes product design, fabrication, dyno testing, SolidWorks 3D modeling, and 2D drafting. If finding ways to make cars go faster and run cooler excites you, this may be your new home.
- Continuous improvement -- better-designed products are a result of you and the team brainstorming ideas and then implementing the changes.
- Problem Solving -- manufacturing issues happen. Your keen insight and troubleshooting will help Project Managers and Suppliers during the production process.
- Data Analysis – an integral part of product design, you will create, analyze, and present data and engineering Reports that will help consumers understand and appreciate the performance and quality of our products.
- You will also need an ability and willingness to assist in presentation of product discussions for social media video clips and installation videos. We’re proud of your work and we want you to be able to share it with others.
- Be a champion of growth and change for the department and for the company – always excited for a new challenge.
