Principal Product Engineer (Mechanical Design)

We are looking for a hands-on, results-oriented professional with strong self-management skills. The candidate will be responsible for organizing their workload and managing project timelines to meet all established deadlines.

This is primarily an individual contributor role; however, the candidate will also be expected to delegate and coordinate tasks with team members who provide support during the design process. The ideal candidate must have the experience and technical judgment required to analyze and resolve complex situations independently, without relying on constant guidance or supervision from their manager.

Requirements:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
• Experience: 10+ years of experience in product development, with a significant portion in a lead or senior mechanical engineering role for metal mechanical companies, preferable making mechanical/ hydraulic machines in the transportation/trucking industry.
• CAD proficiency: Expert-level proficiency in SolidWorks or similar.
• DFM/DFA expertise: Proven track record of designing products for high-volume manufacturing processes (forging, casting, CNC machining, injection molding etc.).
• Analytical skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including experience with FEA and other engineering analysis tools.
• Material science: In-depth knowledge of engineering materials (plastics, metals, composites) and their properties and applications.
• Prototyping and testing: Hands-on experience with various prototyping techniques and mechanical testing methodologies.
• GD&T: Strong understanding and application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing.
• Travel: Ability travel as needed in US. Multiple customers visit yearly for new products feedback and product support.
• Visa required.
• Global Entry (preferable).
• The candidate must be bilingual in English and Spanish.
