Love working with your hands as much as you do designing in CAD? Passionate about cars and 4WDs? We're looking for a Product Development Engineer to join ARB's highly respected team at our Kilsyth global head office and help bring innovative, vehicle-mounted accessories to life.

This is a full lifecycle role - ideal for an engineer who enjoys getting their hands dirty in the workshop just as much as modelling a concept on screen. From first sketch to final fitment, you'll design and develop new products for some of the toughest vehicles and environments in the world.

Working with a tight-knit, collaborative design team, you'll take on meaningful projects with a direct impact on ARB's global range - whether it's bull bars, underbody protection, carriers, or other vehicle accessories designed for adventure.



What's on offer:

• Competitive base salary + super + leave loading + generous employee product discounts
• Work on iconic products loved by the off-road community
• Professional development, international project exposure, and technical training
• Full design-to-delivery involvement - from concept to production fit-up
• Access to state-of-the-art workshop and testing facilities onsite
• A collaborative, down-to-earth engineering culture where your ideas are valued

Key Responsibilities:

• Turn customer and market needs into clear design briefs
• Design and develop vehicle-specific and general accessories using 3D CAD (SolidWorks)
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders (product, manufacturing, quality, marketing)
• Validate and test products through both lab and vehicle-based trials
• Create detailed drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation
• Liaise with suppliers and external manufacturing partners to bring designs to life
• Contribute to continuous improvement across design, fitment, and product performance

About you:

• Degree-qualified Mechanical Engineer (or equivalent)
• Proven experience in product development - preferably in automotive, off-road, or metal-fabricated products
• Practical, hands-on mindset - you enjoy prototyping, fitment, and real-world testing
• Understanding of sheet metal fabrication, welding, surface treatments, and manufacturing methods
• Comfortable working closely with trades, engineers, and suppliers alike
• Strong attention to detail and documentation discipline
• A genuine interest in vehicles, 4WDs, or off-road equipment is highly regarded

About us:

At ARB, we don't just make products - we create gear that helps people explore the world. As Australia's leading manufacturer and distributor of 4x4 accessories, we are proud to build products that are trusted by off-roaders around the globe.

From our Kilsyth HQ, we design, test, and manufacture a huge range of products that are now sold in over 100 countries. Backed by a team of 2,200+ people worldwide, ARB combines engineering excellence with a passion for quality, durability, and practicality.



Ready to bring your ideas to life?

If you're an engineer who loves the blend of design, prototyping, problem-solving, and vehicle fitment - this is your chance to make an impact on the world's most respected off-road brand.
