Are you a creative Mechanical Designer looking for a fully remote role where your ideas become real-world products? Innovatek Engineering Solutions is hiring a talented Mechanical Designer to join our distributed engineering team and help bring next-generation consumer and industrial products from concept to production — all from your home office. If you thrive on turning complex problems into elegant mechanical solutions, this is the opportunity you have been waiting for.
About the Role
At Innovatek Engineering Solutions, we design and develop precision products used across industries including consumer electronics, medical devices, and sustainable technology. As a Remote Mechanical Designer, you will be a core contributor to our product development lifecycle, collaborating with cross-functional teams of engineers, product managers, and manufacturing specialists — all without stepping into a physical office.
What You Will Do
- Design, model, and simulate mechanical components and assemblies using SolidWorks, CATIA, or Fusion 360.
- Create detailed 2D drawings, GD&T specifications, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) for manufacturing.
- Conduct FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and thermal simulations to validate design integrity and performance.
- Collaborate with electrical engineers and industrial designers to ensure seamless product integration.
- Participate in design reviews, prototype testing, and provide engineering support during production ramp-up.
- Document design decisions, maintain version control, and ensure compliance with industry standards (ISO, ASME).
- Communicate daily with the remote engineering team via Slack, Microsoft Teams, and project management tools.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a related field.
- 3+ years of professional experience in mechanical design, product development, or mechanical engineering.
- Advanced proficiency in CAD software — SolidWorks preferred; CATIA, Fusion 360, or NX are a plus.
- Hands-on experience with FEA and/or CFD simulation tools (ANSYS, SolidWorks Simulation, or similar).
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes including CNC machining, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication.
- Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently in a remote environment.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills for effective remote collaboration.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
- Familiarity with PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) systems such as Windchill or Arena.
- Prior experience working in a fully remote or hybrid engineering team.
- Knowledge of regulatory standards for medical devices (FDA, ISO 13485) or consumer electronics (UL, CE).
Salary Range
Compensation: $60,000 – $90,000 USD/year
Salary is determined based on experience, location within the U.S., and scope of expertise. This role is a full-time, salaried W-2 position. Top-tier candidates with specialized industry experience may be offered compensation above the upper range.
Benefits
- 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance from day one.
- 401(k) retirement plan with a 4% company match.
- $500 annual home office stipend to set up or upgrade your workspace.
