Our portfolio includes portable fans, heaters, air purifiers, ventilation products, and other solutions that improve everyday comfort. \nThe Mechanical Engineer II will design, develop, validate, and support home comfort products from concept through production and ongoing product improvement. Working closely with Engineering, Industrial Design, Product Management, Quality, Manufacturing, Program Management, and domestic and overseas suppliers, this individual will translate consumer and business needs into safe, reliable, manufacturable, and cost-effective products. \nThis hands-on role emphasizes injection-molded plastic components, mechanical assemblies, product enclosures, and the integration of motors, fan blades, heating elements, and other components. The successful candidate will take ownership of assigned mechanical design activities, maintain accurate engineering documentation, troubleshoot technical issues, and contribute to successful product launches. \nKey Responsibilities \nDesign and develop mechanical components, assemblies, and systems for portable fans, heaters, air purifiers, and related home comfort products. \nCreate and maintain parametric 3D models, detailed part and assembly drawings, specifications, and bills of material using SolidWorks and Lasko’s product data management system. \nDesign injection-molded plastic parts and mechanical assemblies, considering material selection, tooling requirements, tolerances, appearance, structural performance, assembly, and high-volume production. \nTranslate product requirements, consumer insights, industrial design concepts, safety requirements, and cost targets into practical mechanical designs. \nPerform tolerance stack-ups, engineering calculations, and mechanical and thermal evaluations to assess product fit, function, performance, and reliability. \nParticipate in technical design reviews, design Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEAs), prototype evaluations, and root-cause investigations. \nCoordinate and support prototype builds, engineering testing, pilot runs, and production validation; analyze results and recommend design improvements. \nCollaborate with domestic and overseas suppliers, contract manufacturers, and OEM/ODM partners to communicate technical requirements, evaluate components, address manufacturability concerns, and support tooling and production readiness. \nApply Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles to simplify designs, improve assembly, reduce part count, and achieve product cost targets. \nPrepare and process Engineering Change Requests and Engineering Change Orders, ensuring drawings, models, specifications, and bills of material remain accurate and current. \nInvestigate and resolve production issues, field-quality concerns, warranty trends, and product performance gaps in partnership with Engineering, Quality, Manufacturing, and supplier teams. \nIdentify opportunities to improve product performance, quality, reliability, and cost while maintaining the intended consumer experience. \nManage assigned engineering activities against project schedules, communicate progress and technical risks, and work with project teams to resolve issues. \nContribute to engineering standards, design guidelines, lessons learned, and continuous improvement activities. \nRequired Qualifications \nBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. \nThree or more years of mechanical engineering or product development experience, preferably in consumer products, appliances, electromechanical products, or a high-volume manufacturing environment. \nHands-on experience designing injection-molded plastic parts and mechanical assemblies for production. \nProficiency in SolidWorks, including parametric part modeling, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings. \nExperience creating production-ready drawings, bills of material, specifications, and controlled engineering documentation. \nWorking knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), tolerance analysis, material selection, tooling, and manufacturing processes. \nUnderstanding of DFMA principles, engineering change control, root-cause analysis, and structured problem-solving. \nAbility to take ownership of assigned design activities and evaluate technical options while balancing performance, quality, cost, and schedule. \nStrong written, verbal, organizational, and interpersonal skills. \nAbility to manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively across functions and with domestic and international partners. \nPreferred Qualifications \nExperience developing products involving airflow, rotating components, motors, thermal systems, heating elements, or complex plastic enclosures. \nExperience working with overseas suppliers, tooling partners, contract manufacturers, or OEM/ODM partners through product development and production launch. \nFamiliarity with SolidWorks PDM/EPDM or a comparable product data management system. \nExperience with engineering analysis or simulation tools for structural, thermal, or airflow evaluations. \nFamiliarity with applicable consumer electrical product safety standards and certification requirements, including UL and CSA standards and ETL certification. \nExperience with design FMEA, value engineering, Lean Manufacturing, or continuous improvement initiatives. \nWhat Success Looks Like \nMechanical designs meet product requirements and are released accurately and on schedule. \nManufacturing, assembly, quality, and reliability risks are identified and addressed early in development. \nSuppliers and internal partners receive clear, complete, and timely technical information. \nNew products and product improvements achieve performance, quality, cost, and consumer-experience objectives. \nEngineering documentation remains accurate, organized, and consistent with Lasko’s design and change-control processes. \nAbout Lasko Products\nLove Your Air™\nLasko Products is the leading air solutions brand with a reputation for reliable products, peak performance, and perpetual innovation - our commitment to our customers for over a century.
