Job Description
Entry-Level Mechanical Engineer - Product Development & Manufacturing (SolidWorks)
Boundary Pumps is looking for an entry-level mechanical engineer who wants to work on real products, real prototypes, and real mechanical problems.
This is a hands-on role for someone who likes moving between SolidWorks, 3D printing, CNC-machined parts, reverse engineering, testing, and troubleshooting. This is not a desk-only job. You should be comfortable spending time at a computer and around actual hardware, fixtures, tools, and parts.
You will help support product development from concept through manufacturing, with a strong focus on mechanical design, prototyping, fitment, inspection, and practical problem-solving.
What you’ll do
• Create and revise 3D models, assemblies, and drawings in SolidWorks
• Help design components, fixtures, tooling, and test hardware
• Use 3D printing for prototypes, fit checks, and concept validation
• Support CNC-machined part development and design for manufacturability
• Reverse engineer existing parts using physical samples, measurement tools, and 3D scanning
• Assist with troubleshooting of pumps, hydraulics/lubrication systems, rotating components, and manufacturing issues
• Help with inspection, documentation, BOMs, revision control, and engineering changes
• Work closely with machining, assembly, and testing to move ideas into finished parts
• Assist with the development of our racing vehicles for Drag Race, SCCA, and Roadcourse
What we’re looking for
• 0 to 3 years of experience or a recent graduate in Mechanical Engineering / Mechanical Engineering Technology
• Good working knowledge of SolidWorks
• Familiarity with mechanical assemblies, shop tools, and manufacturing processes
• Exposure to 3D printing, CNC machining, 3D scanning, or reverse engineering
• Comfortable measuring parts, reading drawings, and solving real-world mechanical problems
• Strong curiosity around pumps, hydraulics, fluid systems, and how things fail in the real world
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and able to learn quickly
Bonus points
• Internship, Formula SAE, Baja, robotics, manufacturing, machining, or project-car experience
• Experience with GD&T, DFM, CAM, FEA, testing, or validation
• Experience troubleshooting equipment, assemblies, or production issues
• Interest in automotive performance, motorsports, or industrial mechanical systems
What success looks like
• You turn rough ideas into clean CAD and usable drawings
• You help shorten prototype cycles
• You catch manufacturability or assembly problems early
• You are as comfortable at a workbench as you are at a computer
• You bring practical solutions, not just theoretical ones
We care a lot about attitude, curiosity, and hands-on ability. You do not need to know everything on day one, but you should be excited to build, learn, test, troubleshoot, and improve real products.
