Who Should Apply?

If you're an Engineer or Designer who enjoys solving real-world problems, working on custom projects, and seeing

your designs turn into finished products used by customers around the world, this is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience with a highly respected manufacturing organization.

## Description

This is a great opportunity for a Design Engineer who enjoys creating real-world solutions, working directly with engineering teams, and seeing projects move from concept to production.

The initial assignment is expected to last 5 months, with a high potential for extension based on project demands and performance.

What You'll Be Doing

 + Create and modify detailed mechanical and electrical designs for custom-engineered products

 + Generate 3D models, drawings, and engineering documentation

 + Support customer-specific design requirements and engineering changes

 + Work closely with Manufacturing, Project Management, and Engineering teams

 + Assist with design reviews and problem-solving initiatives

 + Ensure designs meet customer specifications, industry standards, and manufacturing requirements

 + Support engineering change requests and documentation updates

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Work on custom products-not the same design every day

Join a well-established manufacturer known for engineering excellence and innovation

Gain exposure to highly customized projects and customer-driven solutions

Collaborative engineering environment with experienced technical professionals

Opportunity to make an immediate impact on active customer programs

Potential for contract extension based on business needs
