Storage.ae is looking for a Product Design Engineer who works closely with leadership, product and technology teams to design, develop and manufacture physical products and customised metal structures. The role combines mechanical product design, sheet metal fabrication, supplier management and manufacturing execution, taking products from concept through prototyping to production. It is not a design-only role: you must also ensure products can be manufactured successfully.

Key responsibilities

• Design functional, durable and visually appealing products and metal structures, defining dimensions, materials, components and finishes.
• Develop detailed 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings and Bills of Materials (BOMs), optimising for durability, manufacturing efficiency and cost.
• Evaluate manufacturers specialising in sheet metal fabrication, request quotations, compare costs and coordinate production timelines and quality standards.
• Ensure designs suit laser cutting, bending, welding, finishing and assembly.
• Manage prototype development, inspect prototypes, fix defects and resolve technical issues with manufacturers.
• Work with technology teams so electronic components and integrated hardware fit the mechanical design, and manage project timelines and supplier coordination.
• Keep leadership informed with regular updates and recommendations.

Required profile

• 3+ years of experience in mechanical product design, sheet metal fabrication or product engineering.
• Strong experience designing metal structures, mechanical enclosures or fabricated products.
• Proven experience in supplier sourcing, manufacturer coordination and prototype development.
• Nice to have: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Product or Industrial Engineering; experience with commercial equipment, custom metal products or electronic enclosures; familiarity with DFM and hardware integration; experience managing international suppliers.

Required skills

• SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor or equivalent CAD software.
• Understanding of sheet metal fabrication, materials and manufacturing processes.
• Ability to prepare manufacturing drawings, technical specifications and BOMs.
• Project management, problem-solving and communication skills.

What we offer

• A hands-on role with real ownership and direct impact on product development.
• Direct collaboration with leadership and cross-functional teams.
• Performance-based career growth and professional development.
• A fast-paced environment where ideas move quickly from design to execution.
