Mechanical Design Engineer – Strength Equipment

Build the Equipment That Builds Athletes

Do you get excited about steel fabrication, weldments, mechanical systems, and seeing a product go from a sketch to a finished machine on the production floor?

At Matrix Fitness, we're looking for a hands-on Mechanical Design Engineer to help create the next generation of commercial strength equipment used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, universities, professional teams, and health clubs around the world.

This isn't a role where you'll spend all day behind a computer.

You'll be designing, prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and collaborating directly with manufacturing teams to bring innovative strength products to life.

If you have a passion for mechanical design, fabrication, welding, fitness equipment, machinery, automotive projects, racing, off-road vehicles, or building things with your own hands, we'd love to talk with you.

What You’ll Take Ownership Of

Design Industry-Leading Strength Equipment

• Design and develop innovative strength training products from concept through production
• Create 3D CAD models, weldments, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings using SolidWorks
• Engineer structural steel components, fabricated assemblies, and mechanical mechanisms
• Collaborate with Industrial Designers to transform concepts into production-ready equipment
• Conduct engineering reviews to ensure performance, durability, safety, and manufacturability
• Support product costing, tooling development, and supplier collaboration

Prototype, Build & Test

• Participate in prototype builds and hands-on product testing
• Evaluate product performance, durability, fatigue life, and user experience
• Develop and execute validation plans and test procedures
• Analyze design failures and implement improvements
• Work directly with technicians, welders, fabricators, and manufacturing teams to solve real-world problems

Manufacturing & Product Launch

• Support new product launches from development through production
• Collaborate with domestic and international manufacturing teams
• Travels internationally 2-4 times a year 1-2 weeks at a time for both manufacturing and trade show support.
• Improve product quality, assembly efficiency, and manufacturing processes
• Investigate production issues and implement long-term solutions
• Drive continuous improvement and value engineering initiatives
