Turn Offroad is looking for an experienced Product Design Engineer to join our team in person at our Riverside, CA facility. This role is responsible for designing new off-road products from concept through production, including bumpers, suspension components, vehicle accessories, and other aftermarket products for Bronco, Jeep, and other off-road platforms.
The ideal candidate is highly proficient in SolidWorks, understands practical engineering principles, and can take a product from vehicle scan to finished production drawings. This person should be comfortable working hands-on with vehicles, 3D scanning, developing CAD models from scan data, creating manufacturing-ready prints, and working with both domestic suppliers and our Mexico manufacturing facility to bring products to life.
Experience in the off-road, automotive aftermarket, suspension, fabrication, or motorsports industries is strongly preferred. Experience designing portal axles or related drivetrain/suspension systems is a major plus, but not required.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop new off-road products using SolidWorks.
- Create products such as bumpers, suspension components, brackets, armor, accessories, and other vehicle-mounted parts.

- Perform or assist with 3D scanning of vehicles and components.
- Create detailed 2D manufacturing drawings, prints, and BOMs for sourcing and production.
- Design parts for fabrication processes such as laser cutting, bending, welding, machining, fiberglass/composite integration, and assembly.
- Work with our production team, suppliers, and Mexico manufacturing facility to ensure designs are practical, manufacturable, and cost-effective.
- Prototype, test fit, revise, and improve designs based on real-world feedback.
- Apply sound engineering judgment to ensure products are strong, functional, reliable, and appropriate for off-road use.
- Collaborate with ownership, R&D, production, and marketing teams to develop products that align with Turn Offroad’s brand and performance standards.
Requirements
- Strong proficiency in SolidWorks.
- Ability to create clean, organized, production-ready CAD models and drawings.
- Experience designing mechanical parts or assemblies for manufacturing.
- Working understanding of engineering principles, materials, tolerances, fitment, and structural design.
- Ability to work from 3D scan data and translate vehicle geometry into functional product designs.
- Ability to create detailed prints that can be used by suppliers or in-house production teams.
- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Comfortable working hands-on with vehicles, prototypes, and production samples.
- Must be able to work in person at our Riverside, CA location.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in the off-road, automotive aftermarket, motorsports, suspension, or fabrication industries.
- Experience designing bumpers, suspension kits, armor, brackets, racks, or vehicle accessories.
- Experience with 3D scanning workflows and scan-to-CAD design.
- Experience designing parts for laser cutting, press brake bending, welding, CNC machining, or composite/fiberglass production.
- Portal axle, drivetrain, or advanced suspension design experience is a strong plus.
- Familiarity with manufacturing in Mexico or working with outside suppliers is a plus.
Compensation
- Salary: $85,000–$150,000 per year, depending on experience.
