Opportunity To Unlock Your Creativity Think of all the times you were held back from trying new ideas because you were boxed in by bureaucratic legacy processes or old school tactics. Having a growth mindset is deeply ingrained into our company culture since day 1 so Fictiv is an environment where you have the creative liberty and support of the team to try big bold ideas to achieve our sales and customer goals. Opportunity To Grow Your Career There are plenty of jobs out there. The question is whether any of them will help you grow in your career? Will you be challenged by teammates to achieve your potential? Or are they roles that will ask you to do more of what you've already mastered. At Fictiv, you'll be surrounded by supportive teammates who will push you to be your best through their curiosity and passion. Impact In This Role At Fictiv, we are building the world's premier platform for hardware manufacturing. As an Associate Solutions Engineer, you will support our critical quoting and manufacturability functions, working at the interface between our two sets of customers — the builders who order parts through us, and the manufacturing partners who make them. In this role you will learn to review the manufacturability and cost of parts submitted by our builders across processes such as CNC machining and 3D printing. Under the guidance of senior Solutions Engineers, you will apply your Mechanical Engineering background to interpret designs, prepare accurate quotes for custom parts, and flag design considerations that affect cost, quality, and lead time. Your work helps bring products to market faster and directly supports Fictiv's growth. You will report to a Team Lead within Solutions Engineering, who will support your development from guided execution toward independent ownership of quoting and DFM work. Why this role matters to our customers: Speed to Market — accurate quotes and timely DFM feedback help customers make faster decisions and launch sooner. Cost Confidence — precise, transparent costing prevents budget surprises later in the process. Risk Mitigation — catching manufacturability issues early avoids costly rework, material waste, and delays. Quality Assurance — confirming designs are feasible and tolerances are achievable helps customers get correct parts the first time What You’ll Be Doing Quoting Support Prepare cost estimates for standard and moderately complex CNC machining and other manufacturing parts, combining your analysis with Fictiv's software recommendations. Escalate complex geometries, non-standard processes, or challenging timelines to senior Solutions Engineers or High Touch (HT) quoting.
