Mechanical Design Engineer (Entry Level to Sr. Engineer)

We are seeking engineers of all experience levels to join our engineering team. We work in many functional areas centered around the off-road heavy equipment industry. Additionally, we support most other industries including medical, power sports, lawn & garden and defense.

The mechanical design engineer is responsible for creating and developing innovative mechanical systems, products, and components. They collaborate with cross-functional teams, including other engineers, designers, and stakeholders, to design, analyze, and optimize mechanical solutions that meet project requirements and industry standards.

This role involves using computer-aided design (CAD) software, simulations, and other tools to create detailed drawings, models, and prototypes.

- Design of mechanical assemblies, parts, and systems for new and existing products used in the off-highway and mobile equipment industry.

- Creates parts and assemblies using 3D CAD software (ex. castings, light fabrications, large structures, electrical harnesses, hydraulics).

- Creates mechanical drawings, Bill of Materials information, and other documentation for product release.

- Evaluates prototype products and designs for possible refinement through assembly and test.

- Work in a team-friendly environment innovating new products for our clients.

- Bachelor's of Science in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Agricultural Engineering or related degree

- Strong mechanical aptitude demonstrated through work experience or hobbies

- Strong analytical, problem solving and troubleshooting skills

- Experience in 3D Modeling Software (Creo, SolidWorks, NX) preferred

- Design experience or exposure to off-road mobile equipment

- Ability to address quality issues, determine root cause and drive to a corrective action

RFA Engineering has provided product development and engineering services to industry leading customers since 1943. Our primary focus is the development of off highway equipment including agricultural, construction, mining, recreational, industrial, and special machines. Our work includes concept development, product design, documentation, problem-solving, simulation, optimization, and testing of components, systems and complete machines.

Our engineering staff is located at our Engineering Center in Eden Prairie, MN, branch office in Dubuque, IA, and at numerous customer sites throughout the U.S.
