Who Are We:

At Voltify, we are building the next generation of rail - battery locomotives that fast charge autonomously and dynamically through a dedicated self-sustained microgrid network.

We are bringing back the power to the industry and eliminating the dependency on fossil fuels.

Lowering the rail industries main expense - energy - by more than 20%.

This is over $3B yearly just in North America.

We are already working with some of the largest global rail companies with over $50M in contingent orders.

We have raised over $30M from top tier funds and strategics and rapidly growing.

Our founding team has a proven track record in building billion $ public companies in renewable energy and infrastructure.

About The Role:

We are looking for a Mechanical Designer to lead our transition to a managed PDM environment and own the day-to-day organization of the engineering team's SolidWorks data. You'll generate assembly and detail drawings that go straight to manufacturing, and work closely with our remote Manufacturing Engineer supporting the rebuild shops to make sure design intent translates cleanly onto the shop floor.

This is a foundational role: the standards, structure, and workflows you put in place now will shape how a fast-growing engineering team manages CAD data going forward.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the effort to migrate and organize company CAD files into a SolidWorks PDM vault, establishing folder structure, naming conventions, and file states
  • Configure and administer SolidWorks PDM — workflows, revision schemes, permissions, and BOM structure — to support a growing engineering team
  • Manage and maintain the team's SolidWorks model and drawing library, keeping parts, assemblies, and drawings organized, current, and free of duplicate or orphaned data
  • Generate assembly drawings, detail drawings, and documentation packages for manufacturing, ensuring company standards
  • Work closely with the remote Manufacturing Engineer supporting the Huntington and Jacksonville rebuild shops, translating design intent into manufacturable drawings and responding to shop-floor questions and redlines
  • Establish and enforce CAD modeling standards, drawing templates, and title block/BOM conventions across the engineering team
  • Train engineers and designers on PDM check-in/check-out procedures, revision control, and best practices
  • Support engineering change orders (ECOs), ensuring CAD data and drawings are updated and released correctly
  • Contribute to component and subassembly design work as needed — we're a small, fast-moving engineering team and this role isn't purely administrative

Qualification:

  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, or equivalent experience
  • Strong proficiency in SolidWorks, including large assembly modeling and drawing creation
  • Experience administering or configuring a PDM system (SolidWorks PDM/PDM Professional preferred)
  • Experience creating assembly and detail drawings to support manufacturing
  • Familiarity with GD&T and standard drafting practices
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail managing large CAD data sets
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with remote manufacturing and production teams

Advantages:

  • Experience creating wiring harness diagrams or electrical schematics
  • Experience administering SolidWorks PDM in a growing/scaling engineering organization
  • Background supporting rail, marine, or heavy-duty off-highway equipment
  • Experience with ECO/PLM processes
  • Familiarity with rebuild or retrofit manufacturing environments

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
