Overview
BHX Modular designs and manufactures modular dwellings — single-family homes, tiny-home communities, townhomes, workforce housing, and accessory buildings — at our factory in Cisco, Texas. We are a growing company that runs a modern operation: our purchasing, inventory, and accounting run on a full ERP, our engineering work is AI-assisted, and our products evolve fast. We offer competitive wages and benefits to attract and retain top talent.
We are hiring the Engineer who owns our designs from concept to certified, buildable, as-built truth. You are the design authority for our product line and the owner of the complete engineering document set: designs, drawings, BOMs, production plans, SOPs, engineering change orders, and as-builts.
The role
You sign off designs and hand a complete, revision-controlled BOM and production documentation package to our Materials Manager and Production Manager weeks before first production. When implementation problems surface on the factory floor — they do, and our designs evolve dynamically — you own the solution through a numbered engineering change: redline, revised drawings and BOM, floor notification, as-built record. You manage our external engineering ecosystem: component and subsystem vendors and suppliers, contract drafting support, and the professional engineer of record.
Duties
- Product design & design documentation
- Own each model’s complete design document set — design specification, drawing package to BHX standards, structural calculation record, weight basis, and design intent documentation — all under revision control
- Produce final plans for every model and variant; adjudicate drawing discrepancies with a documented decision trail; close every produced unit with an as-built record
BOM development & ERP handoff
- Develop the complete BOM (structure, panels, MEP, finishes) for every design and hand it to the Materials Manager 3–4 weeks before first-unit production; resolve sourcing feasibility feedback within 5 business days
- Issue a rev-numbered BOM update for every approved change — a change is not complete until the BOM revision and production impact are stated
Engineering estimates
- Produce the materials and labor estimate for every new model and variant; reconcile estimate vs. actual after each first-article build (±10% accuracy standard)
Transition to manufacturing
- Author the production plan for every new model: build sequence, station-level work instructions, cut schedules, and required tooling; design and document jigs and fixtures, issuing fabrication RFQs where outsourced
- Run the first-article build: pre-production gate review, on-floor presence through the build, deviation log, and corrective revisions to drawings, BOM, and process documents
- Enforce the design-release gate: no model enters production scheduling until its document set, BOM, and production plan are complete and signed
Manufacturing-process engineering & SOPs
- Write, maintain, and train the manufacturing-process SOP library: station procedures, material-handling and lifting procedures, finish processes, and QA checkpoints aligned with our compliance program
- Run process-improvement studies to a documented conclusion — trade study, decision, SOP revision — on labor hours, material yield, and quality
Change management
- Run our engineering change process: every design or process change gets a numbered ECO with impact assessment (cost, labor, lead time, open POs, certification), approvals, revised documents, and floor notification
- Turn design changes into revised drawings and BOM revisions within 48 hours; chair the twice-weekly design–materials–production sync
Vendor & certification management
- Manage component and subsystem vendors and suppliers, contract drafting support, and the professional engineer of record: scope, RFQ, negotiate, and run bounded stamp campaigns
- Own our state industrialized-housing certification program (TDLR) end-to-end: select and manage the design-review and inspection agencies, author the compliance control manual, prepare design packages, host plant inspections, and manage ongoing reporting
- Own windstorm and energy-code compliance paths per project location
Verification
- Enforce physical-verification practices: itemized ship-weight walks with sanity gates, lifting and handling limits, dimensional verification before analysis; run physical test programs the product requires
- Work AI-assisted: direct our AI-assisted drafting and analysis tooling, verify its output against physical reality, and feed corrections back into our knowledge base
What we require
- Engineering degree (mechanical, civil/structural, architectural, or manufacturing) or an equivalent proven design-build record
- 5+ years in design-for-manufacturing, structural/light-frame construction, or product engineering, including responsibility for production documentation (drawings, BOMs, work instructions or SOPs)
- Demonstrated new-product-introduction experience: you have taken a product or building system from design into production and run the corrective loop after first build
- Working structural literacy — load paths, light-frame and panelized system behavior, wind/uplift concepts — sufficient to prepare bounded work for a PE and to recognize what requires one (a PE license is not required; we contract the engineer of record)
- CAD proficiency producing shop drawings to a documented standard; BOM and ERP working knowledge
- Working code literacy (IRC/IBC, IECC, NEC); command of our state industrialized-housing rules within your first 90 days — we hand you a verified research base
- Change-management discipline: you have owned or operated an ECO/revision-control process
- Vendor management: RFQs, negotiating fabrication and professional-services scopes
- Hands-on verification practice: you measure, weigh, and correct the record when physical reality disagrees with the drawing
- You operate effectively amid ambiguity: our designs evolve mid-build, and you convert each change into documents, not disruption
