  • Serve as the team's go-to DFMA expert for design evaluations and recommendations.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with manufacturing, operations, engineering, and sourcing to align on improvement initiatives.
  • Deliver direct, measurable impact on product cost and overall company profitability.

  • Bachelor's degree in Industrial, Mechanical, or Manufacturing Engineering (or related field).
  • 5+ years of hands-on DFMA experience with complex equipment.
  • Strong knowledge of mechanical and electronic systems as well as industrial manufacturing processes.
  • Experience applying DFMA principles to component/system-level designs.
  • Exceptional analytical, planning, and coordination abilities.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, especially when presenting to cross-functional or non-technical audiences.
  • A knack for identifying and communicating value in both design and process.


What Sets You Apart:
  • Direct DFMA experience with:
    • Complex castings
    • Multi-part weldments
    • Electromechanical systems
  • Track record of leading cost-reduction initiatives and justifying savings.
  • Familiarity with lift trucks or mobile equipment.
  • Advanced experience with:
    • Hydraulic systems
    • Machining and casting techniques
    • Complex assembly DFM reviews
  • JIRA or similar project management software experience.
  • Competitive benchmarking and teardown analysis skills.
  • A Master's degree or advanced certification in engineering or manufacturing disciplines.


Where and When You'll Work:
  • This is an in-person role located at our Greene, New York office-ideal for those who thrive in a hands-on, team-oriented environment.


What Your Total Compensation & Benefits Package will look like:

Salary - $94,000 - $120,500 per year. Compensation depends on the selected candidate's education and experience.

Relocation: This role may be eligible for relocation assistance.

World Class Benefits:
