Description

Build the next generation of Matrix Fitness cardio equipment.

For 50 years, Johnson Health Tech has designed fitness equipment that people actually want to train on. Our Matrix Fitness brand has become one of the fastest-growing names in commercial cardio, earning the trust of fitness clubs across the country. It was also named FitProf's 2025 Best Buy for Best Commercial Cardio and honored as this year's Fitness Brand of the Year. Now, we're bringing that same club-quality engineering into the home.

We're looking for a Senior Mechanical Project Engineer to take real engineering ownership of new cardio products, from early concept through launch. This is an engineering role first: you'll be doing FEA, running tests, driving CAD, and solving hard mechanical problems. You'll also carry the project through to the finish line - but the calculations, the design work, and the testing are where you'll spend most of your time.

What You'll Do

Engineering & Design

Lead the technical design of new cardio products - from early concept and component design through detailed CAD (2D drawings, 3D models, plastic surfacing) and final validation

Run strength and fatigue analysis (FEA), load and bearing-life analysis, and design proposals to make sure every product meets its requirements

Design, select, and analyze mechanical components - bearings, shafts, belts, pulleys, couplings, springs, fasteners, and more - largely independently

Build and execute test protocols, and lead DFMEA sessions to catch design risks early

Bring a continuous-improvement mindset to design for manufacturability

Leading the Project

Serve as the main point of contact for the project, partnering closely with your electrical project engineer counterpart to keep electrical development aligned with the overall schedule

Own the project timeline and budget for multiple concurrent products, keeping milestones, documentation, and the NPD process on track

Lead cross-functional meetings and technical design reviews with the full project team - R&D, industrial design, quality, and product management

Translate market and customer requirements into clear engineering specs, and set the development plan

Guide and mentor design engineers and mechanical designers on your projects

Global Collaboration

Work daily as part of one team with our engineering and manufacturing partners in Taiwan, China, and Vietnam, sometimes outside of typical office hours - aligning on design intent, technical issues, and customer requirements

Support the transition of new products into mass production, including quality reviews, sample evaluation, and troubleshooting

Travel internationally a few times a year (roughly 2-4 trips) to connect in person with our global team

Requirements

What You'll Bring

BS or higher in Mechanical Engineering or related field

6+ years of design experience; consumer products experience strongly preferred

Project engineering or project management experience

Significant experience designing components for real manufacturing processes - plastics, sheet metal, tube forming, casting, machining, welding & joining

Expert-level 3D CAD skills (SolidWorks preferred)

Strong FEA and analytical background (strength & fatigue analysis)

Comfortable leading and aligning a team toward a shared goal, even in tough moments, without leaving people behind

Demonstrates a foundational understanding of fitness principles, including cardiovascular exercise, mobility, and safe exercise practices

Nice to Have

Working knowledge of electrical systems (motors, electromagnets, general circuitry)

Experience with industrial design collaboration and product ergonomics

Basic understanding of financial principles as they relate to product decisions

Why You'll Love It Here

Real engineering ownership - you're not just managing a schedule; you're solving the mechanical problems yourself

A genuinely global team: our Taiwan, China, and Vietnam-based partners aren't a hand-off, they're teammates working the same problems alongside you

50 years of staying power, backed by award-winning products people actually use
