Mechanical Designer – Wire Harness Packaging

**Location:** New Hudson, Michigan **Work Arrangement:** Onsite preferred | Hybrid possible based on project needs **Duration:** 6-week contract (possible extension based on workload) **Start:** ASAP **Work Hours:** Core hours 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM **Eligibility:** U.S. Citizenship required ## Position Overview We are seeking a **Mid-Level Mechanical Designer with strong PTC Creo experience** to support a fast-paced engineering team focused on **3D parametric design, large assembly packaging, and wire harness routing**. This role is ideal for a designer with hands-on experience creating **production-ready technical drawings, managing component clearances, and supporting prototype-to-production design releases** in a structured product development environment. The ideal candidate brings strong experience in **Creo Cabling, electrical harness routing, Windchill PLM, and ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards**. ## Key Responsibilities - Develop **3D parametric models and component designs using PTC Creo** - Design and package **wire harness routing, retention, clips, and attachment strategies in large assemblies** - Analyze and maintain **stationary and moving part clearances** - Create detailed **technical drawings and release documentation** - Apply **GD&T and ASME Y14.5 standards** to production drawings - Support **prototype and production manufacturing methods** - Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and cross-functional teams to resolve design issues - Maintain organized CAD data, revisions, and documentation within **Windchill PLM** - Provide occasional **manufacturing floor support** during prototype builds or design validation - Communicate design progress, risks, and technical updates clearly to stakeholders ## Required Qualifications - Associate degree in **Mechanical Design** or equivalent hands-on experience - **5+ years of Creo CAD design experience** - Strong experience with **Creo Cabling Tool for electrical harness and wire routing** - Experience working in **Windchill PLM** - Proven background in **technical drawing creation, detailing, and GD&T** - Working knowledge of **prototype and production manufacturing processes** - Strong communication, documentation, and collaboration skills - Comfortable working in a **fast-paced engineering environment with shifting priorities** - High attention to detail and pride in producing accurate design work - U.S. Citizenship required ## Ideal Background Candidates with experience in any of the following environments will align especially well: - Heavy equipment - Automotive systems - Defense vehicles - Aerospace assemblies - Industrial machinery - Electromechanical products - Large assembly design environments ## Why This Role Stands Out This is an excellent short-term opportunity for a **Creo power user** who enjoys **hands-on design execution, harness packaging, and large assembly problem solving** in a collaborative engineering setting. If your background includes **Creo Cabling, Windchill, and production drawing release work**, this role should be a strong match.
