• Deliver mechanical design work in Siemens NX with a focus on plastic components for injection molding
• Design and refine TPU overmolded parts
• Manage heat insert placement and integration into plastic housings
• Apply functional dimensioning and geometric tolerancing to ensure manufacturability
• Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to validate fit and function across assemblies
• Support IP-rated enclosure design and button/user interface component design

What You Bring

• Strong, hands-on experience with Siemens NX
• Proven track record designing injection-molded plastic parts
• Experience with TPU overmolding
• Practical knowledge of heat insert management and integration
• Solid grasp of functional dimensioning and tolerance stack-up analysis
• Experience with IP-rated design
• Experience with button/user interface design
• Ability to start immediately and ramp up quickly with minimal onboarding time
