We’re looking for a creative, technically strong Design Engineer to lead the development of premium Recreational Vehicle (RV) and camper van interiors. This role connects conceptual design with real-world manufacturing. You’ll design ergonomic van layouts, create photorealistic renderings for clients, and produce the CAM data that drives our CNC machinery.

An RV is a complex system where aesthetics, structural integrity, and manufacturing efficiency all have to work together. If that challenge excites you, we’d like to see your work.

Key Responsibilities

Layout Design & Space Optimization

- Design complete interior layouts for van platforms such as the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, and Ram ProMaster, maximizing storage, ergonomics, and livability.
- Develop cabinetry, bed systems, galleys, and utility enclosures that account for vehicle curvature and road vibration.
- Work with the build team so designs accommodate electrical wiring, plumbing, and insulation layers.

CAD/CAM & CNC Manufacturing

- Create detailed 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings in SolidWorks and Swood.
- Generate toolpaths and G-code for CNC routers, and optimize nesting to reduce waste in plywood, MDF, and bamboo.
- Troubleshoot machining issues and apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to simplify assembly.

Reverse Engineering

- Build accurate digital twins of vehicle interiors, chassis, and equipment from 3D scan data or manual measurements.

Rendering & Visualization





- Produce photorealistic renderings in SolidWorks Visualize or Blender for client approvals and marketing.

Requirements (Must Have)

- Minimum 1 year of professional experience in product design, furniture design, or automotive upfitting.
- A project portfolio showing your CAD models, drawings, and/or renderings. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, or equivalent practical experience.
- Proficiency in parametric modeling (SolidWorks, AutoCAD).
- Experience generating 2D milling toolpaths and solid understanding of CNC router operations (speeds, feeds, tooling).

Nice to Have

- Experience with mesh data (STL/OBJ) or 3D scanners.
- Hands-on woodworking, carpentry, or metal fabrication experience.
- Knowledge of 12V electrical systems and mobile plumbing standards.
- Experience with Swood specifically.

Remote Setup Requirements

- A personal workstation or laptop capable of running CAD/CAM and rendering software smoothly.
- A secure, high-speed internet connection for video calls and large file transfers.

What We Offer

- Permanent remote position
- Internet reimbursement
- The chance to see your designs built into real vehicles

How to Apply

- Apply through LinkedIn and include a link to your portfolio (Google Drive, Behance, personal website, or PDF). Please highlight any furniture, cabinetry, vehicle, or CNC-related projects.
