Job Description

What You'll Do

• Design and update molded fiber products in SolidWorks, including layouts, detail and assembly drawings, sketches, and 3D models.
• Collaborate with internal teams, tooling vendors, and customers to ensure designs can be manufactured efficiently and reliably.
• Support prototypes and samples, adjusting designs based on testing and production feedback.
• Incorporate molded fiber process considerations such as draft angles, drainage, fiber distribution, venting, and tooling requirements.
• Maintain organized, version-controlled design files and documentation.
• Contribute to design standards, lessons learned, and continuous improvement efforts.
• Work with production teams to help troubleshoot, diagnose, and repair tool and/or machine issues.
• Support new tool installations, calibration, and integration.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 2–4 years of experience in product design, industrial design, or manufacturing design environments
• Proficiency in SolidWorks 3D CAD software, creating production-ready drawings and 3D models
• Understanding of design principles and product development processes
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including engineering, manufacturing, and sales
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage design revisions and documentation
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to support design troubleshooting
• Passion for sustainability and replacing single-use plastics with renewable, compostable alternatives
• Mechanical aptitude / understanding of mechanical systems

Preferred Qualifications

• Proficiency with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)
• Experience developing rapid prototypes and iterating designs through prototype testing
• Working knowledge of CNC machining and additive manufacturing methods
• Understanding of dimensional inspection techniques for machined components
• Experience using CMM equipment or willingness to become proficient
• Background in packaging design or molded fiber product development
• Familiarity with molded fiber manufacturing processes, including vacuum forming, transfer molding, or thermoforming
• Knowledge of molded fiber design-for-manufacturing considerations, such as draft angles, fiber distribution, drainage optimization, and tooling constraints
• Experience collaborating with tooling vendors and external manufacturing partners to support production-ready designs
