Mechanical Designer – Wire Harness Packaging Wixom, Michigan, United States
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 CreoDesign 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 PLMProvide 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 PLMProven background in technical drawing creation, detailing, and GD&TWorking 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 workU.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 OutThis 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.
