Position Summary

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will design, analyze, develop, and support functional, reliable, and cost-effective mechanical systems and components for heavy-duty vehicles and mobile equipment.

This position will provide engineering design, integration, analysis, and execution support for new and existing vehicle platforms. Cooling system design experience is preferred , although candidates may qualify based on broader relevant mechanical engineering experience.

The position requires a minimum of 3 years of related engineering experience and is well suited for an engineer who can independently manage technical assignments while collaborating with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and other cross-functional stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical systems and components for heavy-duty vehicles and mobile equipment.
• Support the design, development, integration, and modification of components for new and existing vehicle platforms.
• Perform engineering calculations, investigations, and technical analysis in accordance with company and industry standards.
• Evaluate designs for performance, safety, reliability, manufacturability, and technical feasibility.
• Utilize analytical and mathematical approaches to calculate or model system performance and optimize designs.
• Perform engineering analysis to support the selection of parts, components, and materials that meet technical requirements.
• Prepare and review engineering layouts, drawings, specifications, and Bills of Material (BOMs) .
• Utilize 3D CAD tools to develop and modify product designs.
• Support product changes through established engineering change and documentation processes.
• Provide engineering integration and execution support for vehicle and component designs.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues reported by engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, or other stakeholders.
• Provide technical assistance for production and business continuity needs.
• Manage individual projects, portions of larger projects, or multiple concurrent engineering assignments.
• Collaborate with engineering disciplines, manufacturing teams, business stakeholders, customers, and external suppliers.
• Maintain project documentation supporting engineering analysis, research, design decisions, and historical records.
• Prepare technical proposals, quotations, reports, presentations, and other engineering documentation.
• Provide guidance or mentorship to entry-level engineers, designers, or technicians when working on common projects.
• Perform other related duties as assigned.

Cooling Systems Focus

Cooling system design experience is preferred for this position.

Relevant experience may include:

• Vehicle cooling systems
• Thermal management systems
• Heat exchangers and radiators
• Pumps, fans, hoses, piping, or related components
• Coolant flow and system integration
• Component selection and sizing
• Mechanical system troubleshooting
• Engineering analysis or system performance evaluation
• Automotive, heavy-vehicle, off-highway, or other mobile-equipment applications

Candidates do not necessarily need experience across all of these areas. Engineers with a strong mechanical design background and transferable experience with related vehicle or mobile-equipment systems may also be considered.

Minimum Qualifications

• Accredited Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or a related technical field .
• 3+ years of related engineering experience .
• Experience designing, developing, analyzing, or supporting mechanical systems or components.
• Experience using a professional 3D CAD platform.
• Ability to independently execute engineering assignments and solve technical problems.
• Ability to work effectively within a cross-functional engineering environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering .
• Cooling system or thermal management design experience.
• Mechanical knowledge of automotive, heavy-duty vehicle, off-highway equipment, mobile equipment, or related systems.
• Experience with Creo or CATIA ; equivalent high-level 3D CAD experience may also be considered.
• Experience creating or modifying engineering drawings, layouts, specifications, and BOMs.
• Experience supporting component selection, system integration, engineering changes, troubleshooting, or production.
