Requirements
  • 8+ years of experience in detailed mechanical design with direct ownership of production‑released hardware
  • Expert proficiency in SolidWorks, including advanced part modeling, assemblies, configurations, and drawing creation with manufacturing‑ready detail
  • Demonstrated mastery of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and precision detailing, applied intentionally to real manufacturing and assembly constraints
  • Extensive experience creating clear, unambiguous engineering drawings for machined parts, sheet metal, weldments, and complex assemblies
  • Strong working knowledge of ASME drawing standards and common manufacturing best practices
  • Proven experience detailing fabricated and welded structures, including weld definitions, callouts, and fabrication clarity
  • Deep understanding of manufacturing processes (machining, sheet metal, welding, precision assembly) and how SolidWorks design decisions affect cost, quality, and yield
  • Experience selecting and applying materials, seals, gaskets, and hardware in demanding mechanical systems
  • Strong experience developing and maintaining structured BOMs, part numbering schemes, and controlled documentation sets
  • Demonstrated ownership mentality—taking responsibility for design quality, manufacturability, cost, and downstream success through production
  • Clear communicator who can effectively work with engineers, manufacturing teams, and suppliers to drive issues to closure
Responsibilities
  • Take end‑to‑end ownership of detailed mechanical design, from early concepts through fully released, production‑ready SolidWorks models and documentation
  • Expertly detail SolidWorks parts and assemblies, converting conceptual designs into fully defined geometry with proper tolerances, fits, interfaces, and manufacturing intent
  • Own tolerance stack‑ups, GD&T application, and fit/function strategy, ensuring designs assemble reliably and perform as intended in production
  • Produce high‑quality engineering drawings (machined parts, sheet metal, weldments, and assemblies) using ASME Y14 and applicable industry standards, with clarity suitable for external suppliers
  • Own weldment modeling and drawings in SolidWorks, including joint design, weld symbols, fabrication notes, and distortion considerations
  • Select and specify materials, seals, gaskets, fasteners, and finishes, balancing performance, manufacturability, durability, cost, and supply‑chain constraints
  • Build and maintain complete documentation packages, including SolidWorks models, drawings, specifications, and structured BOMs, with accountability for accuracy and completeness
  • Define and own BOM structure and product hierarchy, supporting manufacturing, sourcing, configuration control, and lifecycle management
  • Lead design reviews with an ownership mindset, proactively identifying tolerance risk, manufacturability issues, assembly challenges, and cost drivers
  • Partner closely with manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to resolve build issues, clarify documentation, and continuously improve design robustness and producibility

View

Flex operates as a global manufacturing partner offering design, engineering, and supply chain solutions across multiple industries. It began in 1969 with hand-soldering circuit boards, pivoted to contract manufacturing in 1980, and expanded internationally, including establishing operations in Singapore. It went public on NASDAQ in 1994 and grew to serve major clients such as Microsoft. In 2015, it rebranded from Flextronics to Flex to reflect a broader services scope beyond electronics. The company also acquired Nextracker (solar trackers) in 2015 and later spun it off via IPO in 2023, illustrating its capability to manage verticals from product design to large-scale manufacturing and end-to-end supply chain management. Overall, Flex differentiates itself through its global scale, end-to-end services (from design and engineering to manufacturing and supply chain), and its ability to serve a diverse set of industries with integrated manufacturing solutions.

Flex unveils NVIDIA-aligned AI factory designs with 800 VDC power and liquid cooling for hyperscale data centers

Flex announced new NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint reference designs on 16 March 2026, offering prefabricated, modular power and liquid-cooling systems for AI data centres. The systems feature an 800 VDC Power Rack and support phased migration from traditional AC setups, positioning Flex as a systems-level partner for hyperscale AI infrastructure rather than a traditional contract manufacturer. The announcement follows Flex's expanded collaboration with AMD to build Instinct AI platforms in Austin. Together, these moves underscore Flex's strategy to become a full-stack AI hardware and infrastructure partner, though customer concentration and potential in-housing of power and cooling capabilities remain key risks. Optimistic analysts project Flex reaching $29.7 billion revenue and $1.4 billion earnings by 2028. The company's shares rose 5.1% following the announcement.

It's just business: manufacturing moves from HP, Flex, AIM MRO and more.

It's just business: manufacturing moves from HP, Flex, AIM MRO and more. A recent look at recent manufacturing business deals, including plans to make the world's largest tofu factory. March 17, 2026 The business of manufacturing never stops. Industrial companies merge, invest and strategically expand to keep competitive, even under adverse business conditions. Read on for more details on five such expansions and acquisitions made by industrial and manufacturing companies. Partnership: HP and Volkmann announced March 3 that the companies would collaborate on a contained metal powder handling solution for metal jet printers. Under the terms of the deal, HP's Metal Jet S100 3D printers will be compatible with specially-designed proprietary Volkmann contained metal powder management systems. In a statement, Alexandre Tartas, a global head of sales at HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions, said the containment solution would improve device efficiency and safety. Expansion: Nasoya announced March 11 it would spend $55 million to expand an existing tofu manufacturing plant in Ayer, Massachusetts. The expansion will add 65,000 square feet of new space and increasing the plant workforce by 20%, for a total size of 200,000 square feet and daily capacity of 400,000 pounds of tofu. The company says that, after the expansion, the tofu factory will be the largest in the world. Partnership: Flex announced March 2 it would expand its manufacturing collaboration with AMD to produce the semiconductor manufacturer's AMD Instinct graphics processing unit platform, which are experiencing a surge in demand alongside the use of GPUs in data centers for AI services. According to a release from Flex, the contract manufacturer has already started manufacturing the AMD Instinct in its Austin, Texas headquarters with plans to increase production. Expansion: Yazoo Mills announced March 12 that it had finished construction of its third paper tubes and cores factory in Hanover, Pennsylvania. According to a company statement, the $14 million plant construction included relocating eight winding lines and 14 recutting machines to the new site. The plant is Yazoo Mills' third manufacturing location.
