Mechanical Designer – Wire Harness Packaging

Location: New Hudson, Michigan

Work Arrangement: Onsite preferred | Hybrid possible based on project needs

Duration: 6-week contract (possible extension based on workload)

Start: ASAP

Work Hours: Core hours 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Eligibility: U.S. Citizenship required

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 Creo

• Design 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 PLM

• Provide 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 PLM

• Proven background in technical drawing creation, detailing, and GD&T

• Working 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 work

• U.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 Out

This 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.
