Design Engineer II (Motorsports Focus)
Location: Huntersville, NC (Hybrid – 2–3 days remote per week)
Duration: 5–6 month contract (potential extension based on project needs)
Pay Rate: $53–$58 per hour
Travel: ~5% (regional travel within ~1.5 hours)

Position Overview
We are seeking a mid-level Design Engineer II with a strong motorsports focus to support mechanical system design and development. This role involves working on product and vehicle systems from early concept through detailed design, collaborating within a project team under the guidance of a design lead.
The ideal candidate brings a hands-on engineering approach, combining CAD design, structural analysis (FEA), and system-level thinking to support innovative, performance-driven solutions. This position includes both office-based engineering work and occasional on-site support with customers and builds.

Key Responsibilities
Design & Engineering

Develop vehicle and product system designs from concept through production
Perform system physics modeling and component characterization
Create 3D CAD models, assemblies, and packaging layouts
Apply linear static FEA for design validation and optimization
Generate detailed technical drawings and documentation (GD&T)
Support test design, execution, and reporting (DVP&R)
Provide regular project updates and technical presentations

Project & Customer Support

Support engineering projects using mechanical, analytical, and CAE tools
Troubleshoot and resolve customer-related engineering issues
Prepare technical specifications and develop testing procedures
Collaborate with manufacturing, including ECR support
Present findings and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders
Assist in evaluating new business opportunities


Qualifications
Education & Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Automotive Engineering, or equivalent
Minimum of 3 years of relevant engineering experience
Prior experience in motorsports (NASCAR strongly preferred)

Technical Skills

Proficiency in Siemens NX (or similar parametric 3D CAD tools)
Experience with ANSYS (or equivalent FEA software)
Understanding of full vehicle systems and subsystem interactions
Experience with mechanical design, including metals, composites, and tooling
Familiarity with PLM systems (e.g., Windchill) is a plus
Strong knowledge of ASME Y14.5 (GD&T)

Professional Skills

Strong communication and technical writing abilities
Detail-oriented with high quality standards
Team-oriented with a strong work ethic and sense of ownership
Curious mindset with a passion for learning and technology


Work Environment & Expectations
This role operates in a collaborative, team-based engineering environment with a mix of office and hands-on work. Engineers should be comfortable supporting shop builds and working with basic hand tools when needed.
Core hours are typically 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, with flexibility required to meet project deadlines. Occasional travel may be required for customer meetings, supplier visits, or off-site testing.
