Mechanical Designer – Wire Harness Packaging

Location: New Hudson, Michigan
Work Arrangement: Onsite preferred | Hybrid possible based on project needs
Duration: 6-week contract (possible extension based on workload)
Start: ASAP
Work Hours: Core hours 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
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.
