Coordinate with and manage outside contractors, fabricators, and manufacturers
Track milestones, identify risks, and keep projects moving forward
Hold vendors accountable for quality, communication, and delivery schedules
Collaborate closely with internal product, operations, and leadership teams to ensure products are launch-ready

What We’re Looking For

Strong experience with SolidWorks or Autodesk Fusion 360
Proven experience creating manufacturing drawings and documentation
Hands-on understanding of prototyping and fabrication
Experience working with outside manufacturers, vendors, or contractors
Ability to manage multiple projects from concept through production
Comfort taking ownership and driving projects independently in a remote setup
Strong attention to detail and practical problem-solving skills
Interest in the automotive aftermarket and/or outdoor gear industry (required)
