As a part of the global industrial organization Marmon Holdings—which is backed by Berkshire Hathaway—you’ll be doing things that matter, leading at every level, and winning a better way. We’re committed to making a positive impact on the world, providing you with diverse learning and working opportunities, and fostering a culture where everyone’s empowered to be their best.

This is a lead-level engineering position responsible for driving the design, development, and sustenance of construction and building envelope products for Hohmann & Barnard, Inc. The role requires technical leadership in sheet metal and structural component design, with a strong focus on fabrication readiness, material optimization, and product cost-efficiency.
He/ She will lead end-to-end design initiatives, guide junior engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional teams including manufacturing, quality, sourcing, and suppliers. The position demands hands-on proficiency in CAD tools, DFM/DFA principles, and fabrication processes, along with a working exposure to FEA and design validation techniques. This role is central to delivering innovative, production-ready, and cost-effective solutions in support of H&B’s strategic product portfolio.

Key Responsibilities / Functions:

·         Lead the design and development of construction products, structural assemblies, and custom sheet metal components (e.g., wall reinforcements, anchors, brackets).

·         Oversee the creation of detailed 2D and 3D CAD models, flat patterns, and manufacturing-ready drawings using tools such as AutoCAD and Revit.

·         Manage product lifecycles from concept to production, including prototyping, testing, validation, and manufacturing handoff.

·         Ensure engineering deliverables meet design intent, cost, and manufacturability requirements, with adherence to quality standards.

·         Perform or review design calculations, and guide FEA simulations (using tools like ANSYS or Inventor Nastran) to validate structural performance and compliance.

·         Champion DFM/DFA principles, value engineering (VAVE), and standardization efforts to optimize designs for scalability and cost-efficiency.

·         Lead the preparation and maintenance of accurate BOMs, technical specifications, and engineering documentation, including ECNs and revision control.

·         Collaborate closely with manufacturing, procurement, quality, and global engineering teams to ensure seamless design-to-production transitions.

·         Review and improve nesting strategies and part design to ensure efficient CNC fabrication and minimal material waste.

·         Mentor and support junior engineers and CAD designers, fostering a high-performance team environment.

·         Stay up to date with fabrication techniques, materials, industry trends, and emerging design technologies relevant to metal construction products.

Required Qualifications: (Education, Technical Skills/Knowledge)

 

·         Hands-on experience in product and structural design, specifically within metal fabrication, machined components, or other industrial products.

·         Expert-level proficiency in AutoCAD for 2D modeling and flat pattern development; working knowledge of Revit for handling BIM including design, visualize and collaborate structural designs.

·         Strong experience in performing engineering design calculations including structural load estimations and basic stress analysis.

·         In-depth understanding of metal processing techniques—cutting, forming, punching, and welding—and their impact on design feasibility.

·         Proficient in GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, DFM/DFA, and DFMEA methodologies to ensure robust and production-ready designs.

·         Comprehensive knowledge of fabrication processes including laser/plasma cutting, bending, welding, and machining, with awareness of shop-floor constraints.

·         Solid understanding of material behavior, coating/finishing processes (e.g., powder coating, galvanizing), and their influence on durability and performance.

·         Proficiency in BOM management, part numbering systems, and revision control.

·         Experience supporting manufacturing, prototyping, and first-article testing, translating design intent into production-ready deliverables.

·         Familiarity with cost estimation, value engineering, and VAVE techniques for driving product affordability and standardization.

·         Ability to independently plan, coordinate, and execute development projects—spanning new product introductions, redesigns, cost optimizations, and engineering analysis.

·         Proven experience in mentoring junior engineers, reviewing their work, and conducting technical design reviews to ensure quality and consistency.

·         Prior experience working in a global engineering environment with collaboration across multi-site including virtual coordination and occasional travel.
