Job SummaryResponsible for leading product and feature innovation for heavy-duty strapping and packaging automation machinery. This role combines standard order execution as well as Research & Development – translating ambiguous market or customer needs into concrete technical specifications. The ideal candidate takes proactive, end-to-end ownership of the development lifecycle, driving custom order design and balancing projects that begin with “blue sky” conceptualization to realistic, executable designs. A successful designer in this role embraces a growth mindset, prioritizes curiosity in testing to discover failure points, and balances deep subsystem detail with a holistic understanding of complex electromechanical systems.Essential Duties and ResponsibilitiesRequired to work in a secure and efficient manner in accordance with company Health and Safety and other PoliciesLead “blue-sky” ideation sessions and progressively narrow the scope to realistic, executable, and cost-effective machine designs.Translate unclear, unknown, or evolving internal customer requirements into robust, actionable technical specifications.Independently drive projects forward,



proactively gathering information and anticipating roadblocks rather than waiting for complete direction.Dive deep into the details of mechanical, sensing, pneumatic, and hydraulic subsystems while maintaining complete awareness of how they integrate into the full electromechanical system.Design and execute prototyping and testing protocols explicitly focused on stress-testing and finding out where and why a design fails, rather than merely proving it works under a narrow set of ideal conditions.Formulate heavy-duty machine design in CAD using efficient, reliable and manufacturable processes – Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA).Collaborate proactively with Applications Engineering during the RFQ phase to develop preliminary concept models and conduct technical feasibility analyses.Identify, document, and communicate high-level technical unknowns and potential design risks during the quoting phase to ensure accurate scoping prior to order receipt.Facilitate a seamless, comprehensive
