The Senior Component Development Engineer leads the design and development of core components and subsystems for large diesel and natural gas engines used in power generation and industrial applications. This role is responsible for component architecture, analysis, validation, and production implementation, ensuring designs achieve performance, durability, reliability, manufacturability, and cost objectives.

• Lead the design, development, validation, and production release of components, assemblies, and subsystems for large diesel and natural gas engines from concept through production implementation, including cooling, lubrication, air handling, exhaust, structural, mounting, and accessory systems.
• Develop engineering solutions using sound mechanical engineering principles to achieve performance, durability, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, emissions, cost, and regulatory objectives.
• Design and develop core engine components and assemblies for large diesel and natural gas engines, including cylinder heads, valve train hardware, intake and exhaust systems, lubrication and cooling system components, crankcase structures, front-end accessory drives, and structural engine hardware, ensuring compliance with performance, durability, reliability, emissions, manufacturability, and cost objectives.
• Create and maintain 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, BOMs, technical specifications, design standards, and product documentation while ensuring effective configuration control and engineering change management.
• Develop Design Verification Plans and Reports (DVP&R), establish validation requirements and acceptance criteria, and ensure designs are verified against functional, durability, environmental, regulatory, and customer requirements.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline with 5+ years of experience in diesel or natural gas engine, power generation, heavy equipment, or industrial product development.
• Experience designing and developing core engine components and assemblies, including cylinder heads, valve train systems, intake/exhaust systems, lubrication and cooling components, crankcase structures, and accessory drives.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD modeling, engineering drawing creation, BOM development, and product documentation for cast, machined, fabricated, and assembled components.
• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, including materials selection, structural integrity, fatigue, thermal management, fluid systems, vibration, and sealing technologies.
• Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. without sponsorship. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

• Experience supporting global product development and supplier qualification activities.
