Senior Mechanical Design Drafter

$75k per year

SWS Warning Lights Inc.

Job Title: Senior Mechanical Designer Reports to: Engineering Lead

Are You Ready to Lead Design Solutions That Make a Difference?

At SWS, we are committed to setting the golden standard in client care, technical innovation, and seamless reliability. As an industry leader, we deliver solutions that ensure safety and enhance functionality in challenging environments. We are seeking an experienced Senior Mechanical Designer to drive the creation of cutting-edge, custom solutions and further support the expansion of our Arrow product family.

You are an accomplished mechanical designer with a decade of real-world application experience. You have deep knowledge of load-bearing structural design , metal/aluminum fabrication , and motion design systems (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and linear actuators). Your ability to conduct stress analysis and apply it practically sets you apart. You combine technical mastery with creativity to develop innovative, durable, and reliable solutions that meet and exceed client expectations.

You don’t just draw designs; if you prefer working in isolation, this role might not suit you.

Stress & Performance Analyst: Apply stress analysis and other engineering methods to validate designs for safety, durability, and compliance.

Design for manufacturability (DFM) in aluminum/metal fabrication, ensuring efficient production and high quality.

Technology Scout: Research, evaluate, and integrate mechanical and electromechanical components, including actuators and motion systems, into product designs.

Documentation Specialist: Maintain meticulous design records, specifications, and lifecycle documentation for all projects.

Proven Experience: Minimum 5 years of mechanical design experience, ideally in structural design, fabrication, and motion systems.

Technical Expert: Proficient in SolidWorks or similar CAD tools, with advanced knowledge of DFM, GD&T, and stress analysis techniques.

Hands-on understanding of aluminum and metal fabrication methods, welding, and assembly.

Motion Systems Experience: Comfort with electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems, as well as linear actuators.

Experience with SolidWorks Simulation or equivalent CAE tools for static, modal/frequency, vibration, fatigue, and motion studies as well as using simulation to support design verification, root-cause analysis, and design-for-reliability.

Thrive in a cross-functional team environment, working closely with engineering, production, and client-facing teams.

Open to adopting new technologies and approaches to maintain leadership in mechanical design innovation.

Able to articulate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

If you’re a Senior Mechanical Designer with manufacturing experience who’s ready to push boundaries and deliver world-class solutions, apply now by sending your resume and cover letter explaining why you are the ideal fit for this innovative role to ***email_hidden*** or send via Indeed.

Hiring Process & AI Use: We use standard applicant tracking systems and do not use artificial intelligence to screen applicants .

We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
