  • Collaborate with lead engineers, category managers, operations and supply chain throughout the NPD process.
  • Conduct DFM, DFQ projects and support continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Perform fitment tests, failure analysis and product validation to meet quality and compliance standards.
  • Partner with global engineering teams and technical writers to improve product performance and end-user experience.
  • Support QA investigations and provide technical input for training activities.

Key Relationships
  • Reporting directly to the Lead Engineer
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams across Engineering, Operations, Procurement, Sales, Marketing and QA
  • Collaborate with external vendors, suppliers and customers

What We Are Looking For
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Aerospace, Automotive Engineering (or related).
  • 3-7+ years' experience in a mechanical engineering role, ideally in automotive or outdoor products.
  • Strong background in load carrying mechanical systems and NPD processes.
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks (surface and part modelling).
  • Experience with analysis techniques such as FEA (Ansys Mechanical).
  • Understanding and experience of part design using various processes such as Sheet metal forming, plastic injection moulding, extrusions, metal stamping and casting.
  • Excellent problem-solving, time management and collaboration skills.
  • Strong written and verbal communication abilities.
  • Passion for getting out and about and exploring outdoors

Why Join Rhino-Rack?

At Rhino-Rack, you will be part of a passionate, adventurous, and collaborative team that's committed to innovation and quality. Your engineering skills will directly contribute to products that enable people worldwide to make space for adventure.
