NPD ENGINEER

POSITION SUMMARY

The NPD Engineer is a hands-on engineering role responsible for building, assembling, testing, and rapidly prototyping new products. Based at our Post Falls, Idaho facility, this position transforms engineering concepts into physical prototypes, validates designs through hands-on evaluation, and provides critical feedback to accelerate product development. The role works closely with both engineering and manufacturing teams and requires strong technical capability, sound judgment, and practical shop-floor experience.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Rapid Prototyping & Build

Build and assemble prototype machines, subsystems, and test fixtures from engineering designs
Execute rapid prototyping using various fabrication methods (3D printing, machining, sheet metal, etc.)
Modify and iterate prototypes based on test results and engineering feedback
Source and procure prototype components; manage prototype BOM and inventory
Document build processes, assembly sequences, and lessons learned
Validate parts and subsystems through hands-on builds and evaluations

Hands-On Testing & Validation

Perform functional testing, performance validation, and stress testing on prototypes
Design and build custom test setups and fixtures as needed
Identify design issues, failure modes, and improvement opportunities through hands-on evaluation
Conduct first article inspections (FAI) and validation testing for new designs
Document test results with detailed observations, photos, and videos
Track production issues and coordinate with engineering to support timely resolution

Engineering Feedback & Collaboration

Relay hands-on findings, design feedback, and DFM/DFA recommendations to the remote engineering team
Participate in design reviews with practical, build-based insights
Collaborate with remote mechanical and embedded engineers on design iterations
Provide input on manufacturability, assembly challenges, and tolerance issues
Support engineering change processes with prototype-based validation
Partner with test personnel to improve machine testing feedback loops and issue resolution

Production Transition Support

Support transition from prototype to production-ready designs
Collaborate with the Test Technician on test protocol development
Assist with production ramp-up, first builds, and process validation
Bridge communication between remote engineering and local production teams

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor’s degree in engineering (mechanical, industrial, manufacturing) or equivalent experience
5+ years of hands-on experience in product development, prototyping, or manufacturing engineering
Proven experience building and testing industrial or electromechanical products
Strong mechanical aptitude with ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and CAD models
Proficiency with shop tools, fabrication equipment, and assembly techniques
Experience with rapid prototyping methods (3D printing, CNC, sheet metal fabrication)

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience with industrial machinery, automation equipment, or similar products
CAD proficiency (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar) for design modifications
Experience working with globally distributed engineering teams
Background in test fixture design and fabrication
Familiarity with embedded systems and hardware-software integration
Experience supporting product transitions from prototype to production
Welding, machining, or advanced fabrication skills

WORK ENVIRONMENT

On-site at Post Falls, ID engineering lab and production facility
Primarily hands-on work in a prototype lab, machine shop, and production environment
Requires standing, bending, and lifting up to 50 lbs; use of hand and power tools required

VALUED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

Candidates with the following backgrounds are encouraged to apply:

Prototype build and fabrication experience
Machine shop, CNC operation, or tool & die backgrounds
Electromechanical assembly and system integration
R&D lab or product development environments
Field service or equipment installation/commissioning
Custom equipment or automation builders
