Job Description
Lead complex mechanical programs from first sketch to factory floor As a Senior Mechanical Systems Project Engineer, you'll be the technical and organizational anchor for high-stakes builds. You'll guide concepts into manufacturable designs, make decisive calls on tricky tradeoffs, and coach teammates so the whole group levels up. A day in this role Your morning might start by refining a model in SolidWorks, running a high-fidelity simulation to validate performance and reliability. Midday, you're reviewing drawings and prototypes with electrical, software, and manufacturing partners. In the afternoon, you're mentoring junior and mid-level engineers on best practices, then aligning clients and suppliers on scope, timeline, and budget to keep a large program on track. You close the day by capturing lessons learned to strengthen our engineering process. What you'll own Lead the design, development, and optimization of advanced mechanical systems and products. Oversee and manage large-scale engineering projects to plan—meeting timelines, budgets, and specifications. Provide high-level technical expertise and set strategic direction on complex engineering challenges. Conduct advanced simulations, testing, and analysis to drive performance and reliability improvements. Review and approve engineering drawings, models, and physical prototypes. Collaborate closely with internal teams (electrical, software, manufacturing) and with clients and suppliers to ensure delivery success. Mentor and train junior and mid-level engineers, sharing best practices and design techniques. Stay current with emerging trends and advance continuous improvement across our engineering workflows.
