Junior Mechanical Engineer/ Designer

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. 

Kinetic Custom Trailers is looking for someone who enjoys turning ideas into real-world products. If you have experience with SolidWorks, mechanical design, drafting, fabrication, or manufacturing, we want to hear from you—even if you don’t meet every qualification listed below.

You’ll work closely with engineering, production, and sales to design custom trailers and solve real manufacturing challenges.

• →Create and modify 3D models and detailed drawings using SolidWorks
• →Develop practical designs that can be efficiently fabricated and assembled
• →Work directly with production teams to troubleshoot issues and improve designs
• →Assist with weight distribution calculations and design validation
• →Support design analysis, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) where applicable
• →Help develop new and improved trailer designs
• →Review designs for compliance with applicable FMVSS/CMVSS and transportation requirements
• →Collaborate with engineering, sales, manufacturing, and other team members throughout the design and build process

You do not need to check every box to be considered.

We’re especially interested in candidates with experience or education in one or more of the following:

• SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software
• Mechanical design, drafting, or engineering
• Manufacturing or steel fabrication
• Welding, machining, forming, or other fabrication processes
• Design for manufacturability
• Hydraulic or pneumatic systems
• Hands-on mechanical or fabrication work

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is curious, detail-oriented, willing to learn, and comfortable working with both engineers and the people building the product on the shop floor.

We are intentionally flexible on education and years of experience.

Possible backgrounds include:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or another engineering discipline, including recent graduates
• Diploma or certificate in Mechanical Engineering Technology, Engineering Design and Drafting, CAD, or a related technical field
• Equivalent hands-on design, drafting, fabrication, or manufacturing experience in place of formal education

Previous mechanical design or manufacturing experience is preferred, but we encourage you to apply even if you are earlier in your career.

At Kinetic Custom Trailers, you won’t spend your entire day designing the same component over and over. Our custom manufacturing environment gives you the opportunity to work on real products, unique engineering challenges, and designs you can see being built on the production floor.

If you enjoy CAD, manufacturing, problem-solving, and seeing your designs come to life, we’d like to talk to you.
