Job Description:


A small industrial design and product development firm in Portland, OR is looking for a mechanical engineer to verify and model design concepts in preparation for production. The position involves efficient 3D CAD modeling of visual designs into manufacturable components. It provides a fun and engaging opportunity to constantly problem solve and brainstorm new ideas in search for the best and most beautiful solution. There is a broad array of projects, many of which have quick turnarounds, so the work is very dynamic. The engineer is expected to have confidence working individually, and communicate with clients, vendors, and manufacturers on a regular basis.


Qualifications:


	-	Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
	-	Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, for final production and prototyping (e.g. injection molding, stamping, extruding, machining, rapid prototyping)
	-	Mastery of SolidWorks for part and assembly design (2006 version used), with surfacing skills preferred
	-	Knowledge of structural mechanics and materials science, with the ability to analyze strength of designed parts (with and without FEA)
	-	Experience with thermoplastics, injection molding, and plastic part design (e.g. incorporating appropriate draft and parting lines, minimization of tooling complexity)
	-	Experience with designing plastic mechanisms preferred (e.g. snaps, living hinges, press fits, friction bearings)
	-	Excellent communication skills, with the ability to effectively convey design ideas both verbally and by sketching
	-	Proficiency with Adobe CS, with Adobe Illustrator experience preferred
	-	A creative eye for mechanical problem solving while maintaining aesthetic design features
