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.
•
