Design Engineer - SolidWorks / Sheet Metal
Olea Kiosks, Cerritos, CA, United States
About The Role
Olea is seeking a Design Engineer with strong SolidWorks experience and expertise in sheet metal design to join our Engineering team in Cerritos, CA. In this role, you will take ownership of transforming product concepts into fully detailed, production‑ready designs using SolidWorks and 3D CAD modeling tools. You’ll work closely with cross‑functional teams to develop mechanical designs optimized for manufacturability (DFM), ensuring that every product meets performance, cost, and production requirements. This is an ideal opportunity for a mechanical design engineer who thrives in a fast‑paced manufacturing environment and has hands‑on experience with sheet metal fabrication, CNC processes, and enclosure design.
What You’ll Do
Collaborate with Sales and Design teams to define product requirements, including form, function, and environmental considerations
Translate concepts into detailed sheet‑metal designs using SolidWorks Pro
Build complete 3D models, including subassemblies, fasteners, and integrated components
Produce fabrication‑ready documentation such as technical drawings, weldment guides, and CNC files
Update and improve legacy designs for accuracy and manufacturability
Estimate design timelines and communicate progress to project stakeholders
Manage product configurations within SolidWorks PDM Pro
Support manufacturing by providing design clarifications and DFM improvements
Incorporate shop feedback to optimize production processes
Compensation & Schedule
Status: Full‑Time, Exempt
Schedule: Monday to Friday, typically between 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Location: On‑site at our Cerritos, CA facility
Starting Pay: $90,000 per year
Requirements
The ideal candidate will possess the following knowledge, skills, and abilities:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
3+ years of professional experience using SolidWorks Pro
Experience with SolidWorks PDM Pro and Microsoft Office Suite
ERP system experience (e.g., ABAS or similar) preferred
Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and design‑thinking skills
Ability to interpret technical documents and collaborate cross‑functionally
Detail‑oriented with excellent time management and organizational skills
In addition to the requirements listed above, the following knowledge, skills, and abilities are preferred, but not required:
Expertise in sheet‑metal design principles (bend radii, k‑factors, press brake limits)
Knowledge of welding methods, symbols, and fabrication processes
Familiarity with materials such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum
Benefits
Competitive Pay — Starting at $90,000/year.
Health Benefits — Medical, dental, and vision plans to keep you (and your family) healthy and happy.
Supplementary Benefits — Life, critical illness, hospitalization, accident, cancer, and pet insurance.
401(k) Retirement Plan — Start planning for your future with our company‑sponsored 401(k) program.
Paid Time Off — Vacation days, sick time, and holidays to help you recharge and enjoy life outside of work.
Supportive Team Environment — We’re a family‑owned company, and genuinely care about our employees and their families.
Opportunities to Grow — We love seeing our team members learn new skills, take on new challenges, and advance their careers.
Great Culture — We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. Expect lots of collaboration, plenty of laughs, and zero stuffy corporate nonsense.
