Engineer II, Product Development Design, Air Manufacturing Innovation

Sits within the Design Engineering team at Air Manufacturing Innovation and reports to the Manager, Product Development Engineering, Design. It works cross-functionally with Project Management, Materials, Product Engineering, Equipment Controls and Safety, Operations, Maintenance, Quality, and Tooling Manufacturing. The engineer develops solutions for new Nike Air products and improves existing manufacturing processes, helping translate product and manufacturing requirements into design solutions that can be fabricated, implemented, and supported in production.

• Design parts and tooling for new product development, progressing designs from concept through detailed documentation and release.
• Develop and implement tooling and design changes that improve manufacturing performance, reliability, quality, and operational efficiency.
• Create and maintain 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, GD&T, design documentation, and released design data.
• Collaborate with Tooling Manufacturing, Manufacturing Engineering, Project Management, Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Safety, Materials, and other partners to align technical requirements, priorities, and timelines.
• Support the development and commercialisation of new Air products, including prototype builds, tooling trials, design iterations, and production implementation.
• Provide hands-on engineering support on the manufacturing floor to troubleshoot product, tooling, and manufacturing issues.
• Analyse problems using available information, develop practical solutions, and consider downstream manufacturing impacts when making design decisions.
• Participate in design reviews, technical problem-solving, and continuous improvement activities.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of design standards, best practices, standard work, and engineering documentation.
• Share technical knowledge with teammates and clearly communicate design intent, technical decisions, and engineering recommendations to cross-functional partners.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Chemical, Electrical Engineering, or another related field, or an equivalent combination of relevant education, experience, and training.
• 2+ years of experience in mechanical design and engineering, product development, tooling design, or a related manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency using 3D CAD software for product, part, and tooling design.
• Working knowledge of GD&T, engineering drawings, tolerancing, and design for manufacturing.
• Experience using PDM software and revision-control processes.
• Ability to manage multiple competing engineering assignments and priorities.
• A detailed and methodical approach to problem-solving, with the ability to analyse technical problems and develop practical solutions.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills with the ability to collaborate with teammates and partners across functions and organisational levels.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally on occasion.
• Experience applying 3D CAD design, engineering fundamentals, tooling design, and manufacturing to develop practical solutions from concept through release.
• Curious, adaptable, solution-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

• NX experience is strongly preferred.
• Teamcenter experience is strongly preferred.
• Experience with high-volume manufacturing, Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma tools, tooling fabrication, or additive manufacturing is preferred.
• Knowledge or experience with thermoforming and plastic product manufacturing is a plus.

• Fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Hands-on work on the manufacturing floor
• State-of-the-art facilities located globally
