About the role
Must be local to the Chicagoland area.
Who You Are:
You’ve probably had a screwdriver or a soldering iron in your hand since you were a kid. Your weekends are spent tinkering or creating: a homemade PC build, a 3D printer you can’t stop running, a bike or go-kart you took apart just to see how it worked. You’re the one in the group project who redesigns the process halfway through because you spotted a better way. You don’t wait around for direction; if something can be built better, you’re already sketching it! This job hands you real projects on day one, not busy work. You’ll take small-to-medium products from concept through testing and into production: generating the drawings, running the tests, and owning the documentation that makes it real. Working directly with a seasoned Engineer, you’ll build hands-on skills in sheet metal, CAD, new product development, manufacturing and more, with the freedom to flag a better process and actually go build it. We don’t want to just create, we want to reinvent! For our recent grads, look no further. This is a true, entry-level role that puts you on a pathway to a long-term career that doesn’t make you choose between pathway and Purpose. You can have both!
What We’re Looking For:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or a related field (completed or nearly complete); recent grads welcome! Minimum 3.0 GPA preferred Experience with a CAD program (Solid Works, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Inventor, or similar) through coursework, an internship, or personal projects Sheet metal or injection molding experience from an internship or previous job preferredA self-starter who takes initiative and is always looking for a better way to do things Comfortable getting hands-on in an R&D environment, not just behind a desk Hands-on personal projects: PC builds, 3D printing, robotics, or similar creative hobbies are a big plus
What You’ll Do:
Lead small-to-medium New Product Development (NPD) projects through the entire development cycle Conduct product testing on new and existing products Create and maintain manufacturing drawings for new and existing products Create and maintain engineering documentation: specs, install sheets, BOMs, and more Identify and implement improvements to new and existing processes and products Other projects and tasks as assigned by Engineering Key MetricsNPD milestones hit on or before their planned date (target: 85%+)Product tests completed and logged on schedule (target: 95%+)Drawings and BOMs released error-free downstream (target: 95%+)Documentation packages kept current and complete (target: 95%+)Process improvements identified and put into practice (target: 4-6 per year)

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
