Senior Manager, Mechanical Engineering

Leverages expertise to guide the design and development of mechanical systems including components, enclosures, and packaging, influencing reliability, performance, and manufacturability standards. Utilizes advanced computer aided design (CAD) tools to guide and review the development of 3D models, collaborating with cross-functional teams to refine solutions. Evaluates the results of mechanical strength and reliability testing of materials and components, working closely with operations and suppliers to support prototype-to-product transitions.

Provides guidance for testing and reliability assessments, mentors team to detect and resolve defects, and encourages continuous innovation and product improvement. Contributes to long-term strategy for the mechanical engineering portion of projects, ensuring alignment with project timelines, quality standards, and design goals.

Mechanical Design Manager to lead a team of engineers in developing reliable, cost-effective mechanical products and systems. You will guide technical decisions, oversee design reviews, manage project priorities and resources, and collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams. The ideal candidate brings a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, strong mechanical design expertise, and proven experience leading teams and delivering projects.

Clear communication, sound engineering judgment, and a commitment to developing people are essential.
