Sr. Mechanical Designer

Your Job

As a Senior Mechanical Designer, you will play a pivotal role in driving the mechanical design and development of innovative device and dispenser products.

You will lead the design process from concept through commercialization, leveraging your deep expertise in mechanical engineering principles, advanced CAD modeling, and product development best practices.

Collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, you will influence design decisions that enhance manufacturability, cost-effectiveness, and product performance.

You will also mentor other designers and contribute to continuous process improvements within the design organization.

What You Will Do


* Lead the transformation of conceptual ideas and engineering sketches into detailed 3D CAD models optimized for various manufacturing processes, including complex plastic injection molding.


* Oversee the end-to-end mechanical design lifecycle, ensuring robust, scalable, and manufacturable product solutions.


* Drive the integration of mechanical and electrical components, including wire harness design, wire routing, and PCB footprint incorporation.


* Collaborate strategically with Electrical, Mechanical, and Project Engineering teams to align design solutions with overall product and business goals.


* Manage and maintain comprehensive Bills of Materials (BoMs), engineering change orders, and revision control through SAP Engineering Control Center or other PLM systems.


* Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior designers, fostering growth and knowledge sharing within the team.


* Champion design innovation by identifying opportunities to streamline processes, improve quality, and reduce costs.


* Support prototype development, testing activities, and design validation efforts as needed.


* Openness and willingness to collaborate in-person at the Neenah Technical Center.

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)


* A.S.

in Mechanical Design, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent; plus 7+ years of progressive design experience in a product development environment.


* Expert proficiency in 3D CAD software, preferably SolidWorks, with a demonstrated ability to develop complex mechanical assemblies and precision components.


* Strong knowledge of plastic part design, injection molding processes, and design for manufacturability principles.


* Proven experience managing engineering documentation and product data within SAP Engineering Control Center or similar PLM systems.


* Demonstrated ability to integrate electrical and mechanical subsystems, with experience in wire harness and routing design.


* Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with a track record of collaborating effectively across multidisciplinary teams.

What Will Put You Ahead


* Advanced expertise in SolidWorks.


* Previous leadership role as a CAD Administrator or Design Team Lead.


* Hands-on experience driving process improveme...
