The posting

The Design Engineer translates creative direction into buildable fixtures. Working on both new collection development and bespoke custom orders, this role produces detailed CAD models, drawings, and documentation that our shop floor, vendors, and installers can all build from. The Design Engineer partners closely with the design studio on aesthetics, with the Manufacturing Engineer on producibility, and with the Assembly and Quality teams on how a fixture actually comes together and gets inspected.

Key Responsibilities

CAD & Technical Drawings

  • Create parametric 3D models and manufacturing drawings in Autodesk Fusion (or similar tools) for collection and custom fixtures.
  • Produce clean, dimensioned drawings with tolerances, finishes, and notes appropriate to the vendor or in-house process.
  • Develop BOMs and maintain part revisions in NetSuite with support from the Systems Engineer.

New Product & Custom Development

  • Partner with the design studio from concept through production release: sketch review, massing studies, proportion and scale studies, and prototype iteration.
  • Specify materials and finishes in collaboration with Design, including glass, machined and spun metal, alabaster, and wood.
  • Lead prototype builds, capture lessons learned, and carry them into a clean production release.

Manufacturability & Vendor Handoff

  • Review designs with the Manufacturing Engineer for manufacturability, tolerance stacks, and cost before release.
  • Issue drawing packages to vendors and answer technical questions through the Manufacturing Engineer.
  • Incorporate feedback from QC and Assembly into drawing updates and ECOs.

Standards & Compliance

  • Design fixtures that meet UL 1598 / UL 8750 and relevant electrical and structural standards in collaboration with the Assembly Engineer.
  • Maintain design documentation and revision history in a disciplined way so that what’s in the field matches what’s in the system.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design Engineering, or a closely related field.
  • 3–5 years of design engineering experience producing production-ready drawings for manufactured products.
  • Strong CAD skills in Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360) or a comparable parametric CAD tool, with GD&T proficiency.
  • Experience designing for multiple materials and processes: machining, metal spinning, casting, glass, and wood.
  • Ability to balance aesthetic intent with buildability; comfortable iterating with a design-led team.
  • Strong communication skills and organized documentation habits.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience designing lighting fixtures and familiarity with UL 1598 / UL 8750.
  • Experience with NetSuite item and BOM records.
  • Background in luxury goods, architectural hardware, or high-end furniture.
  • Exposure to rendering, photometric analysis, or thermal considerations for LEDs.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Base salary range: $90,000 – $115,000 annually (based on experience)
  • Discretionary annual performance bonus
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off, holidays, and parental leave
  • Employer-paid life and disability insurance
  • Employee assistance program
  • Safety shoes and prescription eyewear allowance
  • Employee discount on Allied Maker products

Work Environment & Physical Requirements

  • On-site at the Glen Cove, NY workshop; split between CAD work and time on the shop floor
  • Occasional exposure to shop-floor conditions during builds and reviews
  • Requires seated work with periodic standing and light lifting (up to 25 lbs)
