Location: New Hudson, Michigan
Work Arrangement: Onsite preferred | Hybrid possible based on project needs
Duration: 6-week contract (possible extension based on workload)

Eligibility: U.S. Citizenship required
Position Overview
We are seeking a Mid-Level Mechanical Designer with strong PTC Creo experience to support a fast-paced engineering team focused on 3D parametric design, large assembly packaging, and wire harness routing.
This role is ideal for a designer with hands-on experience creating production-ready technical drawings, managing component clearances, and supporting prototype-to-production design releases in a structured product development environment.
The ideal candidate brings strong experience in Creo Cabling, electrical harness routing, Windchill PLM, and ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards.
Key Responsibilities
-
Develop 3D parametric models and component designs using PTC Creo
-
Design and package wire harness routing, retention, clips, and attachment strategies in large assemblies
-
Analyze and maintain stationary and moving part clearances
-
Create detailed technical drawings and release documentation
-
Apply GD&T and ASME Y14.5 standards to production drawings
-
Support prototype and production manufacturing methods
-
Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and cross-functional teams to resolve design issues
-
Maintain organized CAD data, revisions, and documentation within Windchill PLM
-
Provide occasional manufacturing floor support during prototype builds or design validation
-
Communicate design progress, risks, and technical updates clearly to stakeholders
Required Qualifications
-
Associate degree in Mechanical Design or equivalent hands-on experience
- 5+ years of Creo CAD design experience
-
Strong experience with Creo Cabling Tool for electrical harness and wire routing
-
Experience working in Windchill PLM
-
Proven background in technical drawing creation, detailing, and GD&T
-
Working knowledge of prototype and production manufacturing processes
-
Strong communication, documentation, and collaboration skills
-
Comfortable working in a fast-paced engineering environment with shifting priorities
-
High attention to detail and pride in producing accurate design work
-
U.S. Citizenship required
Ideal Background
Candidates with experience in any of the following environments will align especially well:
-
Heavy equipment
-
Automotive systems
-
Defense vehicles
-
Aerospace assemblies
-
Industrial machinery
-
Electromechanical products
-
Large assembly design environments
Why This Role Stands Out
This is an excellent short-term opportunity for a Creo power user who enjoys hands-on design execution, harness packaging, and large assembly problem solving in a collaborative engineering setting.
If your background includes Creo Cabling, Windchill, and production drawing release work, this role should be a strong match.
