# **ABOUT Storage.ae** As a **Product Design Engineer**, you will work closely with our leadership, product, and technology teams to design, develop, and manufacture innovative physical products and customized metal structures. This role combines **mechanical product design, sheet metal fabrication, supplier management, and manufacturing execution**, taking products from initial concept through prototyping and production. ### **THE ROLE** This is not a traditional design-only engineering role. You will be responsible for both **designing products and ensuring they can be successfully manufactured**. You will take ownership of the full development process, including **product design, technical drawings, material selection, supplier sourcing, prototyping, and quality control**. ### **WHAT YOU'LL DO** **Product Design & Engineering:** - Design functional, durable, and visually appealing physical products and metal structures. - Define product dimensions, materials, structural components, and finishes. - Develop detailed **3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs)**. - Optimize designs for durability, manufacturing efficiency, and cost. **Manufacturing & Supplier Management:** - Identify and evaluate manufacturers specializing in sheet metal fabrication. - Request quotations, compare costs, and assess supplier capabilities. - Coordinate manufacturing requirements, production timelines, and quality standards. - Ensure designs are suitable for **laser cutting, bending, welding, finishing, and assembly**. **Prototyping & Quality Control:** - Manage prototype development from initial design through production. - Inspect prototypes, identify defects, and implement improvements. - Work directly with manufacturers to resolve technical and production issues. - Ensure final products meet quality, functionality, and budget requirements. **Technology Integration & Project Coordination:** - Collaborate with technology teams to accommodate electronic components and integrated hardware. - Ensure compatibility between mechanical designs and technical requirements. - Manage project timelines, supplier coordination, and manufacturing progress. - Provide regular updates and recommendations to leadership. ### **WHAT YOU'LL NEED** - **3+ years of experience** in mechanical product design, sheet metal fabrication, or product engineering. - Strong experience designing **metal structures, mechanical enclosures, or fabricated products**. - Proficiency in **SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, or equivalent CAD software**. - Strong understanding of sheet metal fabrication, materials, and manufacturing processes. - Experience preparing manufacturing drawings, technical specifications, and BOMs. - Proven experience in **supplier sourcing, manufacturer coordination, and prototype development**. - Ability to independently manage projects from **concept → design → prototyping → manufacturing**. - Strong problem-solving, communication, and project management skills. ### **NICE TO HAVE** - Bachelor's degree in **Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, Industrial Engineering, or a related field**. - Experience designing commercial equipment, customized metal products, or electronic enclosures. - Familiarity with **Design for Manufacturing (DFM)** and hardware integration. - Experience managing international suppliers and manufacturing partners. ### **WHAT YOU'LL GET** - A hands-on role with **real ownership and direct impact** on product development. - The opportunity to take innovative products from concept to manufacturing. - Direct collaboration with leadership and cross-functional teams. - Performance-based career growth and professional development. - A fast-paced environment where ideas move quickly from design to execution.
