Role Overview

We’re looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer (SolidWorks) to join one of our US-based clients and turn engineering ideas into designs that don’t just look good on screen—they work in the real world. Sitting at the intersection of mechanical engineering, product design, and manufacturing, you’ll use SolidWorks to transform concepts, sketches, existing drawings, and physical samples into accurate 3D models and production-ready technical documentation. And this isn’t just a draw-what-you’re-given role. You’ll assess fit, function, materials, tolerances, and manufacturability, identify potential design issues, and recommend practical engineering improvements before problems make their way to production. You’ll begin with a 60-day, 100% remote contract, with strong potential to transition into a permanent onsite position in Eastwood, Quezon City.

Key Responsibilities:

• Create detailed 3D CAD models using SolidWorks.
• Produce production-ready engineering and technical drawings.
• Apply dimensions, tolerances, and manufacturing specifications.
• Revise existing CAD models and engineering drawings.
• Maintain accurate design revisions and engineering documentation.
• Reverse engineer products from sketches, drawings, and physical samples.
• Develop alternative design concepts and engineering improvements.
• Perform mass calculations and basic engineering assessments.
• Review assemblies for fit, function, and manufacturability.
• Identify potential design and manufacturing issues.
• Support multiple mechanical design projects and meet project deadlines.

Requirements

Required Qualifications (Must-Have):

• 2+ years of relevant experience in mechanical design, product design, or a closely related engineering environment.
• Strong hands-on experience with SolidWorks.
• Experience creating detailed 3D CAD models.
• Experience producing detailed engineering and technical drawings.
• Knowledge of dimensions and tolerances.
• Understanding of manufacturing specifications.
• Experience revising CAD models and engineering drawings.
• Experience with reverse engineering.
• Knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes.
• Strong engineering problem-solving and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to interpret design intent and technical requirements.
• Strong attention to detail and engineering accuracy.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Have):

• 3–5+ years of product or mechanical design experience.
• Experience developing alternative design concepts and design improvements.
• Experience assessing assemblies for fit, function, and manufacturability.
• Experience identifying design risks before production.
• Experience working with US-based or international engineering teams.
