Design Engineer

About the Role

We are seeking a skilled Design Engineer / Drafter to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for the design and development of both unique and repeat trailer builds. This is a predominantly 2D drafting position that requires strong technical drafting skills and a solid understanding of mechanical and structural design principles, particularly load-bearing surfaces in tension and compression.

You will work with an extensive backlog of previous designs as baselines to efficiently develop new trailer models while ensuring accuracy, functionality, and manufacturability.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop custom and repeat trailer builds from concept through detailed manufacturing drawings.
• Create floor plans, elevations, and detailed part drawings.
• Develop structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC schedules, including labeling of position and type.
• Produce supplemental drawings for interior walls, trailer frames, exterior walls, and detailed structural components.
• Manage full detailing of individual builds with accurate and thorough design specifications.
• Coordinate and communicate unique design specifications with builders and production teams.
• Generate cut sheets and Bill of Materials (BOM) using Excel.
• Print and organize documentation to PDF, maintaining organized logs of previous builds for reference.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: Associate’s degree or higher in Mechanical Drafting, Structural Drafting, Mechanical Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related field.
• Software: Strong proficiency in AutoCAD 2D (required).
• Experience with Inventor or Fusion 360 is highly preferred.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, with advanced Excel skills preferred.
• Solid understanding of mechanical and structural design, specifically load-bearing surfaces in tension and compression.
• Experience in end-to-end (ground-up) design, development, and manufacturing processes is preferred.

What We’re Looking For

A detail-oriented professional with excellent drafting skills who can work efficiently from existing design templates while also developing creative custom solutions. Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple builds simultaneously are essential.
