We are looking for a passionate, self motivated individual who can identify problems and solve them independently. There will be ample opportunity to take on greater responsibility, overcome challenges, and meaningfully contribute to the team.

At Hacksmith Industries, we don’t just dream up ideas - we build them. We’re looking for a Product Development Engineer who’s part engineer, part inventor, and 100% ready to create the next generation of products for Hacksmith.store. If you can imagine, design, prototype, and refine cool, functional, and manufacturable products that fans will want to get their hands on, you might just be the hero we’re looking for.

• Invent & Design: Turn wild ideas into functional, manufacturable products.
• Prototype Like a Pro: 3D print, machine, assemble, and test until it’s perfect.
• Engineer for the Real World: Integrate DFM principles so products are as easy to make as they are to use.

• Strong CAD skills (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar).
• Hands-on prototyping ability: machining, 3D printing, assembly.

• A maker’s mindset: problem - solving, iterative design, and adaptability.

This isn’t your average engineering job. You’ll work in a creative, hands-on environment where you can see your ideas go from CAD to real-life, in the hands of customers around the world. You’ll collaborate with a team that’s constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible - and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing the products you develop will inspire and excite fans everywhere.
