About this role
Client: A client in the building products manufacturing industry
Location: Jacksonville, AR
Work mode: On-site
Experience: Mid Level
Work authorization: US Citizen/Permanent Resident
Relocation: Not available
Openings: 1
Role Overview:
The client, Inc. is seeking a skilled Product Design Engineer to join our New Product Development (NPD) team. This engineering role focuses heavily on expanding our catalog of residential attic and crawlspace ventilation systems while optimizing existing models. The position perfectly blends hands-on 3D component modeling with direct plant-floor material collaboration to bring residential ventilation designs successfully from initial concept to high-volume production.
Key Responsibilities: New Product Development (NPD)Formulate, model, and refine residential passive and active ventilation product lines. Innovate and expand on existing product categories, including ridge vents, roof jacks, and powered turbine ventilators. Sheet Metal & Tooling Design Create precise production prints and design custom parameters for stamped aluminum and steel materials. Work tightly within standard manufacturing tolerance frameworks to ensure seamless assembly and stamping performance. Injection Molding Optimization Design plastic-molded parts, internal components, and exterior product cosmetics. Collaborate directly with process engineers and the plant floor to troubleshoot tooling draft angles, material shrinkages, and part gating. Feasibility & Airflow Testing Build mechanical and functional prototypes for physical evaluation. Simulate and physically measure airflow dynamics, weather-proofing effectiveness, and overall structural integrity. Regulatory Submissions Document detailed technical specifications to satisfy regional and national building codes. Ensure product designs comply with extreme load environments, such as Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone regulations.
Education Required: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME), Manufacturing Engineering, or a highly related technical engineering discipline.
Technical & Material Core CAD Proficiency: Demonstrated proficiency with 3D CAD parametric modeling applications (such as Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, or AutoCAD).Material Focus: Proven experience working explicitly with sheet metal fabrication processes (stamping, forming) and plastics injection molding parameters.

How we handle your application. A recruiter reads it — not a keyword filter. We will not submit you to this client, or any other, without your explicit approval for that specific role. Josh Pros is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants without regard to citizenship or immigration status.
Before you apply anywhere — including here
Ask every firm these questions. We have already answered them.
Do you sponsor work authorization?
Yes, for consultants we employ on W-2 — H-1B transfers, extensions, amendments, and employment-based green cards.

You stay on payroll. For H-1B employees, paying the required wage during employer-caused downtime is a legal requirement, not a perk.

Yes, before you interview. If there is a prime vendor or MSP in the chain, you will know.
