Job Description:

Sr. Design Engineer – New Product Development Engineering

TTI Consumer Power Tools, Inc., is currently looking for a Senior Design Engineer in Anderson, SC. The Senior Design Engineer is responsible for hands-on mechanical design execution for moderate to high‑complexity outdoor power equipment (OPE) systems and subsystems. This role owns detailed design execution from concept to production, with a strong emphasis on robust design, manufacturability, validation, and cost. Operating within the Outdoor Engineering organization, the Sr. Design Engineer I functions as a technical leader and subject‑matter expert for assigned components and assemblies, partnering closely with Product Management, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing, and global suppliers to deliver competitive, production‑ready designs.

Key Job Functions & Responsibilities Technical Design Ownership • Owns end‑to‑end mechanical design execution for assigned components, sub‑assemblies, or systems from concept, layout, and detailed CAD through validation and production release. • Develops and maintains 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, GD&T, tolerance stacks, and specifications to ensure functional performance, regulatory compliance, durability, safety, and manufacturability. • Ability to analyze problems and provide design trade‑off analyses (performance, cost, weight, manufacturability, reliability) and documents rationale for design decisions. • Applies structured problem‑solving methods to resolve design issues, field failures, and manufacturing concerns. • Demonstrates strong engineering judgment and accountability for design quality and performance.

Design for Manufacturing, Cost, and Quality • Designs components optimized for high ‑ volume manufacturing , assembly efficiency, tooling capability, and supplier process constraints. • Partners with Sourcing and suppliers to evaluate manufacturing processes, tooling concepts, and cost drivers early in development. • Actively supports value engineering / cost ‑ down initiatives without compromising performance or quality. • Ensures designs comply with internal standards, regulatory requirements, and applicable UL / ANSI / CSA / ISO expectations.

Verification & Validation • Defines DFMEA inputs, design risks, and mitigation strategies for owned designs. • Develops and executes design verification plans including tolerance validation, stress analysis, durability testing, environmental testing, and abuse testing. • Uses data‑driven test results to refine designs and confirm requirements are met with appropriate margin. • Reviews and approves engineering changes, deviation requests, and corrective actions related to owned designs.

Cross ‑ Functional Collaboration • Works closely with Product Management to translate customer needs and CTQs into clear engineering requirements. • Supports Manufacturing Engineering during pilot builds, PPAP, and ramp‑up by resolving build issues and incorporating feedback into design revisions. • Collaborates with Quality, Compliance, and Reliability teams to support certifications, audits, and failure investigations. • Provides clear technical communication to global engineering, sourcing, and supplier teams.

• Contributes to the development and improvement of design standards, test methods, and engineering processes.

Required Qualifications • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline. • Minimum 5 years of design experience in consumer, industrial, or electromechanical products. • Strong proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo / SolidWorks / NX or equivalent), detailed drawings, and GD&T. • Demonstrated experience with materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, and supplier‑built components. • Experience leading design verification and validation activities using data‑driven methods. • Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and technical communication skills. • Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, results‑driven product development environment.

Preferred Qualifications • Experience with outdoor power equipment, power tools, small engines, or high‑load electromechanical systems. • Hands‑on experience supporting pilot builds and production ramp‑ups. • Familiarity with global supplier collaboration and Asia‑based manufacturing. • Experience supporting UL / CSA / ANSI compliance activities.

Travel • Occasional travel (approximately 3–10% ) to suppliers, manufacturing sites, or test facilities.
