Health is officially a snack. In an ideal world, broccoli would taste like chocolate, kale like candy, and greens supplements like gummy bears. We haven’t figured out choco brocco yet, but Grüns has transformed those overpriced, chalky powders into something snackable and delicious. With all the sweetness of natural fruits, getting your greens from Grüns is something you will actually look forward to. With 60 ingredients across 8 core nutrient categories, Grüns supports dozens of health benefits and can replace multiple health products.

📋 Description

• Receive concept designs or existing blue-prints from Grüns and convert them into detailed 3D CAD mold-models. • Work in software platforms such as SolidWorks and/or UG NX (formerly UG) capable of producing manufacturable designs and output in SolidWorks or STEP file format. • Apply scale and accuracy checks relevant to gummy manufacturing, like verifying mold cavity volumes using our target gummy-density. • Create 3D design files and blueprints, owning the workflow starting from prototype design onward (mold fabrication drawings, draft angles, parting lines, ejection design, etc.). • Work in close collaboration with our in-house designers and external teams to ensure branding, compatibility, version control, and manufacturability of the mold designs. • Provide deliverables in agreed formats (SolidWorks native files, STEP files) and documentation of key dimensions, tolerances, and material/processing assumptions. • Ensure that mold designs are production-ready, including verification that the cavity volumes and wall thicknesses meet our gummy recipe’s physical constraints. • Assist with revision cycles based on physical prototyping feedback and mold testing.

🎯 Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) in mechanical engineering, industrial design, product design, or a related field is required. • Proven experience in 3D CAD design for manufacturing (preferably mold design, tooling, or product injection/manufacturing tooling- school portfolios are acceptable but proven work experience is preferred). • Strong proficiency with SolidWorks and/or UG NX (UG)- ability to model with precision, apply draft/tolerance features, manage assemblies, and generate STEP files. • Demonstrated ability to design with manufacturability in mind: understanding mold design fundamentals (parting lines, draft angles, ejector pin layout, material shrinkage, cavity consistency, etc.). • Comfortable working on relatively small-scale, high-precision molds (such as for confectionery) and collaborating remotely with a small internal design team.

🏖️ Benefits

• Generous PTO • Free Grüns subscriptions • High competitive compensation • Strong benefits coverage for you and your family • Wellness programs
