Product Design Engineer

Location: Chicago – Ravenswood Area

Type: Long-Term Contract (1+ Year)

Pay Rate: $38–$48/hour


Are you a detail-driven Product Design Engineer who enjoys refining and improving real-world products? This is an exciting long-term contract opportunity to work on high-impact mechanical products in a regulated environment—where precision, documentation, and thoughtful design updates truly matter.


This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives on modifying and enhancing existing designs based on testing and validation feedback rather than early-stage concept development. You’ll play a key role in strengthening product performance, reliability, and compliance.


What You’ll Do

  • Modify and improve existing mechanical designs using SolidWorks
  • Update engineering drawings, revisions, and controlled documentation
  • Apply Design Control principles throughout the product lifecycle
  • Support product updates driven by testing, validation, and prototyping results
  • Work with mechanical assemblies featuring moving parts such as springs, collapsible mechanisms, and precision components
  • Ensure compliance within a regulated industry environment


What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of mechanical/product design experience
  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (this is a must-have)
  • Experience designing plastic parts and mechanical assemblies
  • Solid understanding of engineering drawings and revision control
  • Working knowledge of Design Controls
  • Medical device experience and ISO 13485 familiarity preferred
  • Experience in other regulated industries (aerospace, defense, etc.) is also highly valued


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Long-term, stable contract assignment (1+ year)
  • Competitive hourly compensation
  • Full employee benefits package including:
  • Paid time off and paid holidays
  • Three medical plan options
  • Dental and vision coverage
  • 401(k)
  • Employee Stock Ownership (ESOP) plan


If you’re a hands-on mechanical engineer who enjoys improving complex products in a structured, quality-driven environment, this role offers the stability, technical challenge, and professional growth you’re looking for—right in the Ravenswood area of Chicago.
