Design / Manufacturing Engineer

Lokar Performance Products seeks a confident and capable, mid to senior level Design / Manufacturing Engineer, who is passionate about improving legacy components and assemblies and creating the manufacturing fixtures and assembly processes to produce them. As the Design / Manufacturing Engineer at Lokar, you will not only help sustain, improve, and manage the quality and manufacturing aspects of existing products but will also help develop and manage the processes that bring exciting new offerings to the aftermarket automotive industry.

Lokar’s advantageous size will allow you to connect and collaborate with our entire team, including our CEO, product engineering, tech support, manufacturing, sales, and sourcing, on a regular basis. We won’t tie you up in endless and inefficient meetings. Instead, we offer you the freedom to take on projects autonomously and achieve outcomes that result in impressive products and process improvements. The ideal candidate would be a likeable and self-sufficient individual with strong SolidWorks skills, a copious amount of DIY technical experience (both personally & professionally), and a devotion to quality and detail. This person should have the confidence to succeed without micro-management and the humility to benefit from the experience of coworkers and suppliers.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Join the team. Communication is vital at Lokar. Get to know your coworkers and benefit from their knowledge and experience.
• Become the go-to engineer for anything and everything that is quality and manufacturing related.
• Improve, create, and fully document the processes we use or will use to manufacture superior Lokar products.
• Help manage product changes and change introductions into manufacturing.
• Perform quality inspections for both incoming and outgoing components and assemblies, as needed.
• As part of the Product Development Team, assist with concept generation and map necessary process plans.
• Work with product engineering, manufacturing, and sourcing to complete prototype builds and to develop processes, tooling, and documentation to turn new product ideas into smoothly and efficiently manufactured components and assemblies.
