About Us
HireKayana is a talent agency connecting Filipino Remote Professionals with global companies that value disciplined execution. We don't place people in gig work; we give you a long-term seat inside a real team.
The Opportunity
We're hiring a remote Manufacturing Design Engineer to embed with the engineering and tooling team of a U.S.-based manufacturing company. This is a hands-on execution role: clean, accurate, manufacturable CAD and documentation, delivered remotely and on time, so the on-site team can move faster. Physical validation stays on-site.
You'll work across two lanes, design/engineering and manufacturing, shifting between them as priorities require.
What You'll Do
- Convert 3D scan point cloud data into clean, manufacturable 3D models in SolidWorks
- Create and modify 3D CAD models and generate detailed 2D manufacturing prints with GD&T, dimensions, tolerances, and BOMs
- Support the design of tooling, fixtures, gauges, and other manufacturing aids from dimensions and reference photos
- Build and format clear work instructions in a digital work instruction platform (VKS)
- Run time studies from recorded operations and produce structured outputs the on-site team can act on
- Execute work through the company's engineering ticketing system as an embedded extension of the team
What We're Looking For
Required:
- Strong SolidWorks proficiency (3D modeling, 2D prints, GD&T-compliant documentation)
- Mechanical engineering degree or equivalent tenured design experience
- Solid grasp of drafting standards, manufacturing processes, and tolerancing
- Strong technical writing and high attention to detail
- Ability to work autonomously and communicate clearly over async channels
Helpful, not required:
- Tooling/fixture design, reverse engineering, or 3D scan post-processing experience
- Familiarity with VKS or similar work instruction platforms (training provided)
- Time and motion study experience

- 1-Year Travel Bonus
