About Kinetic Custom Trailers

At KINETIC, we don’t just build trailers, we engineer custom solutions that push the boundaries of design, functionality, and quality. As a leader in the custom trailer manufacturing industry, we take pride in creating smart, efficient designs that meet the unique needs of every client, no matter how complex or specialized.

Backed by nearly a decade of proven success at our long-standing Canadian headquarters, we’ve brought that momentum to Waco—opening fresh opportunities for skilled, driven people to grow with us. Whether you’re on the shop floor, behind a CAD screen, or working with customers, you’ll be part of a company that values excellence, adaptability, and forward-thinking.

Application Requirement - Cover Letter

Please include a short summary of 2–3 production designs, product improvements, drawing packages, or manufacturing-related design projects that you personally worked on.

For each example, please describe:

What you personally owned
The type of product or assembly
The manufacturing process involved
The outcome or improvement, if known

The Role

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Technologist / Designer with real manufacturing experience. This role supports the design, documentation, and improvement of custom trailer products using SolidWorks and practical design-for-manufacturing judgment.

You will work closely with engineering, production, purchasing, quality, and leadership to create designs and drawings that are accurate, buildable, and suited to a high-mix manufacturing environment.

Key Responsibilities

Create and revise 3D models, assemblies, fabrication drawings, and bills of material using SolidWorks.
Design and support trailer structures, frames, subframes, suspensions, hitches, hydraulic/pneumatic systems, brake systems, and related components.
Prepare clear shop-ready drawing packages for steel fabrication and assembly.
Support weight distribution, axle loading, fit-up, and basic structural calculations.
Work with production to resolve design questions, fabrication issues, and assembly challenges.
Support engineering changes, drawing updates, BOM accuracy, and revision control.
Apply practical design-for-manufacturing thinking to improve cost, quality, weight, and build efficiency.
Collaborate with sales, purchasing, vendors, and production on customer requirements and product improvements.

Required Qualifications

3+ years of full-time mechanical design or engineering technology experience in a manufacturing environment.
Experience with steel fabrication, weldments, mechanical assemblies, or heavy equipment.
Proficiency with SolidWorks or comparable 3D CAD software.
Ability to create clear fabrication and assembly drawings.
Practical understanding of welding, cutting, forming, machining, and assembly.
Strong attention to detail and ability to organize technical information accurately.
Comfortable working on-site and spending time with production teams.
Good communication skills with shop-floor, engineering, purchasing, and leadership teams.

Academic projects, capstone projects, internships, co-ops, personal builds, or school-based design work do not count toward the required years of full-time industry experience.

Education and Experience

Technologist Diploma or Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline.
Minimum of 3 years in mechanical design, preferably within manufacturing or related industries.
Proficiency in 3D CAD software, specifically SolidWorks.
Experience in trailers, heavy equipment, transportation equipment, oilfield equipment, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, or custom steel fabrication.
Familiarity with hydraulic, pneumatic, brake, suspension, or electrical trailer systems.

What a Career at Kinetic Offers You

Competitive Compensation: $75,000 – $90,000+ annually, commensurate with experience and expertise.
Comprehensive Benefits: Excellent health, dental, and vision plans.
Professional Growth: Opportunities for continuous learning, training, and career advancement.
Collaborative Culture: Work within an innovative, supportive, and dynamic team dedicated to excellence.

Work Schedule

Hours: Full-time, 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
Schedule: Flexible with regular business hours typically 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM.

To Apply: Please submit your resume, cover letter, and design portfolio through our website at Kinetic – Careers. We appreciate all applications, but only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
