* Research competing agricultural products and suggest design improvements
* Assist with product development, prototyping, and documentation
* Prepare drawings, cut lists, parts lists, and basic fabrication notes when needed
* Communicate regularly with the owner and production team
* Help organize product files, measurements, revisions, and design notes
Ideal Candidate:
* Background in mechanical engineering, agricultural engineering, drafting, CAD design, or metal fabrication design
* Experience with SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Inventor, SketchUp, or similar design software
* Good understanding of steel, welding, fabrication, mechanical parts, tanks, frames, brackets, hoppers, trailers, sprayers, or farm equipment
* Able to follow instructions carefully and ask thoughtful questions
* Strong attention to detail
* Comfortable taking rough ideas and turning them into practical designs
* Reliable, honest, and interested in a long-term full-time role

* Structural steel design
* Trailer design
* Tanks, hoppers, bins, conveyors, sprayers, or feeders
* Hydraulic, pump, plumbing, or spray system layouts
* Creating bill of materials
* Preparing drawings for fabrication or CNC cutting
Work Schedule:
This is a full-time position, 40 hours per week. Some overlap with U.S. business hours would be helpful for meetings and communication.
