Role Purpose The Product Engineer is responsible for building, standardizing, and continuously improving drafting and engineering processes that support scalable product development and manufacturing efficiency. This role bridges design, drafting, production, and quality, ensuring accurate technical documentation, controlled engineering changes, and disciplined process execution across PermaCorp''s product lines. This is a hands-on engineering role with strong ownership over drawings, BOMs, change management, and cross-functional execution, rather than purely conceptual design. Key Responsibilities Drafting & Design Execution Develop, maintain, and standardize technical drawings, models, and assemblies using SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD Create and manage 2D and 3D drawings to support fabrication, installation, and manufacturing requirements Establish drafting best practices, templates, and naming conventions to improve consistency and efficiency Ensure drawings are manufacturing-ready, accurately dimensioned, and aligned with production capabilities Engineering Process Development & Improvement Design and implement repeatable drafting and engineering workflows Identify inefficiencies, gaps, or risks in current engineering and drafting processes Lead process improvement initiatives focused on cycle time reduction, error reduction, and scalability Support transition from ad-hoc drafting to structured, documented engineering standards Cross-Functional Project Coordination Execute product design, research, and prototyping initiatives in collaboration with: Production & Manufacturing Quality (QA/QC) Procurement & Supply Chain Project Management Coordinate multi-departmental development projects from concept through production release Act as a technical liaison between engineering and downstream stakeholders Tooling, Equipment & Manufacturing Support Support tooling, equipment, and process development to enable efficient manufacturing Provide technical input to production challenges and design-for-manufacturability initiatives Support continuous improvement efforts related to shop-floor execution Quality, Testing & Root Cause Analysis Work closely with QA/QC teams to: Investigate non-conformances Conduct root cause analysis Implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) Support testing activities and performance validation Engage with certifying bodies, testing partners, and third-party agencies as required Document Control & Change Management Maintain disciplined document control for: Drawings and models Bills of Materials (BOMs) Performance and test data Process and execute Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) Ensure version control, traceability, and proper approvals are followed Support audits and internal reviews related to engineering documentation Qualifications & Experience Required Diploma or Degree in Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or related field 37+ years of experience in a product engineering or manufacturing-focused environment Strong proficiency in SolidWorks and/or AutoCAD Experience working with BOMs, drawings, and engineering change processes Demonstrated ability to drive process improvement in an engineering or drafting function Preferred Experience in manufacturing, fabrication, or construction-adjacent industries Exposure to ISO, CSA, UL, or other certification frameworks Experience supporting QA/QC or structured quality systems Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems and document management tools Key Competencies Process-driven and detail-oriented Strong technical documentation discipline Practical, manufacturing-minded engineering approach Cross-functional communication and collaboration Comfortable operating in a growing, evolving organization Disclosure: Due to the number of applicants, we make use of AI-driven software for portions of our review process, however all final decisions are made by people.
