About the Role

At Hacksmith Industries, we don’t just dream up ideas - we build them. We’re looking for a Product Development Engineer who’s part engineer, part inventor, and 100% ready to create the next generation of products for Hacksmith.store.

What You’ll Do

• Invent & Design: Turn wild ideas into functional, manufacturable products.
• Prototype Like a Pro: 3D print, machine, assemble, and test until it’s perfect.
• Engineer for the Real World: Integrate DFM principles so products are as easy to make as they are to use.
• Collaborate Across the Lab: Work with our builders, machinists, and creatives to merge engineering with Hacksmith’s unique style.
• Make it Ready for Market: Prepare technical drawings, source components, and work with manufacturing partners to take products from one-off builds to scalable production.

What We’re Looking For

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design, or equivalent experience.
• Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar).
• Hands-on prototyping ability: machining, 3D printing, assembly.
• Knowledge of mass manufacturing processes.
• Experience with DFM and material selection.
• A maker’s mindset: problem - solving, iterative design, and adaptability.

You’ll collaborate with a team that’s constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible - and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing the products you develop will inspire and excite fans everywhere.
