Full Job Description

Bestop is hiring a Softgoods Engineer to lead convertible tops and softgoods accessories engineering at our Sterling Heights, Michigan facility. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who knows convertible tops, knows automotive textiles, and construction methods.

About Bestop

At Bestop, we design and manufacture premium soft tops, accessories, and security solutions across our Bestop, Softopper, and Tuffy Security Products brands. We're a close-knit team with decades of engineering depth, and we're building what comes next.

About the Role

This is a hands-on individual contributor seat at our Sterling Heights, MI facility. The Softgoods Engineer leads convertible top and accessory product development from concept through production, owns bills of materials in NetSuite, manages day-to-day engineering support to our Toluca, Mexico manufacturing partner, and maintains key relationships with our fabric and component suppliers. Expect to wear multiple hats (quality, frame-side, cross-brand) as the business needs them.

Compensation & Hiring Range

The hiring range for this position is:

$85,000 – $105,000 per year

Final pay is determined based on relevant experience, skills, and internal equity.

What You'll Do

Lead convertible top and accessory product development from concept through production launch across our Bestop, Softopper, and Tuffy brands.
Own bill-of-material development and management in NetSuite, working cross-functionally with sales, purchasing, design, and operations.
Develop and refine textile patterns using Gerber AccuMark software, including patterns for unique folding mechanisms and complex assemblies.
Provide daily engineering support to our Toluca, Mexico manufacturing facility: pattern releases, engineering changes, and production troubleshooting.
Manage relationships with key fabric and component suppliers on technical specifications, fabric development programs, and quality.
Support quality investigations, cross-functional collaboration, and IATF 16949 compliance as the engineering point of contact for soft trim products.

What You'll Need (Must Have)

Direct convertible top experience: designing, engineering, or manufacturing convertible tops or closely related soft-trim products.
Patterning design software experience (patterning software such as AccuMark and/or Optitex).
5–10 years of experience in textile, soft trim, or related automotive interior engineering. Strong working knowledge of fabric types and behavior.
Demonstrated project management capability: running programs from concept to production and working across functions to land them.
Comfort with business and ERP systems such as NetSuite, Excel, or equivalent. Tech-savvy and able to navigate complex systems and documentation.
Strong communication and relationship-building skills, both internal and external suppliers.
Currently located in the Detroit metro area, or planning to relocate to the Sterling Heights, MI area at your own expense prior to the start date. (No relocation assistance.)
Authorized to work in the United States now and in the future without employer sponsorship (no visa sponsorship is available for this role).

Bonus Points (Nice to Have)

Background at a major convertible top, automotive interior, or seating manufacturer (Car Top Systems, Webasto, Lear, Magna, Faurecia, or similar).
Industrial sewing manufacturing experience, or hands-on ability to drape, stretch, fit, and sew large fabric assemblies.
Adjacent industry textile experience (marine, boating, RV, outdoor industry) with transferable patterning and fabric construction skills.

Work Environment

Onsite role at our Sterling Heights, MI facility.
Hybrid office, engineering shop, and manufacturing floor environment, with meaningful time at the bench and on the floor in addition to desk work.
Periodic domestic and international travel to suppliers, customers, and other Bestop facilities as required, including visits to our Toluca, Mexico manufacturing partner. A valid U.S. passport (or willingness to obtain one) is required.
Physical requirements include extended periods of standing, bending, lifting up to 50 lbs, and manipulating large fabric assemblies.
