Overview Design Engineer Jr

As a Design Engineer, you will collaborate with a highly skilled team of engineers, craftsmen, and project managers to develop buildable, cost-effective constructions for high-end custom furniture installed in some of the most recognized companies in the world. This role requires a strong balance of technical ability, creativity, and manufacturability awareness. You will work closely with internal teams and external partners including architects, designers, and fabricators to define the final product specifications and ensure seamless execution inside our Oakland manufacturing facility.

You will transform conceptual designs into fully engineered products by producing detailed, production-ready drawings and documentation. This includes modeling assemblies and components, generating blueprints for fabrication, evaluating materials and hardware, and coordinating with vendors to resolve technical details. From concept development through handoff to production, you will be exposed to the complete design lifecycle and have a visible impact on the finished product.

Requirements

Academic Background

- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, Industrial Design Engineering, or a related field.

Work Experience

- 0–1 year of experience in product development, mechanical design, manufacturing engineering, or a related field.

(Internships, academic projects, or portfolio work are strongly valued.)

Technical Skills

- Solid foundation in CAD modeling, developed throughout academic projects or work experience. (Autodesk Inventor preferred).
- Basic knowledge of GD&T; and mechanical drafting standards.
- Basic to intermediate experience with sheet metal modeling and fabrication principles (optional but a plus).
- Foundational understanding of manufacturing processes, particularly subtractive and abrasive methods (lathe operation, CNC milling, routing, and cutting).



Practical exposure through university labs or engineering projects is expected.
- Understanding of Bill of Materials (BOM) structure and purpose, with the ability to read, interpret, and navigate assembly-level BOMs.
- Ability to interpret architectural drawings, material specifications, and manufacturing constraints.

· Awareness of essential mechanical design fundamentals, including tolerance stack-ups, standard fit types, and DFM considerations, with the ability to apply these concepts at a junior level.

Soft Skills

· Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical reasoning and design decisions.

· Collaborative mindset, able to work effectively with Engineering, Production, Purchasing, and Project Management teams.

· High problem‑solving aptitude, with the ability to analyze issues and develop solutions independently when needed.

· Strong initiative and eagerness to learn, as this role requires continuous technical and professional growth.

· Excellent time‑management skills, able to prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment.

· Attention to detail and commitment to producing high‑quality, accurate engineering documentation.

Language

- Proficiency in English (spoken and written) is required.

Working Environment

- Hybrid work environment.
- Collaboration with cross-functional teams and occasional independent work.
- Fast-paced, project-driven shop environment with exposure to both design and manufacturing processes.
