Job Description

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

1. 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



2. 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



3. 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



4. 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



5. 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



6. 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



3-7+ 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
