Original job description

Job Title: Mechanical Design Engineer ***MUST RELOCATE TO NORTH CAROLINA***Job DescriptionThe Mechanical Design Engineer plays a key role in guiding new technologies and mass production developments for small engine and power products, from concept design through to production launch. This position focuses on engine and transmission component design, ensuring high quality, cost-effective solutions that meet established specifications, guidelines, and customer expectations. You will work independently and as part of small project teams to create detailed designs, support prototype builds, coordinate with suppliers and manufacturing, and contribute to continuous improvement in product performance and development efficiency.Responsibilities

Generate high-level 2D and 3D CAD drawings that accurately represent key technologies and components, ensuring all designs meet specification targets, guidelines, standards, and regulations.
Utilize 2D/3D CAD software (primarily Catia, with flexibility for other CAD packages) to create detailed layouts and models for engine and transmission systems, including small engine products.
Perform key design calculations related to gears, springs, finite element analysis (FEA), tolerance stacks (including GD&T), and other critical mechanical elements to validate design integrity.
Apply FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) methodologies to identify potential failure modes, assess risks, and implement robust design countermeasures.
Process and manage drawing issues using tools such as Endeavor, ensuring that all design changes are documented, reviewed, and released in accordance with established procedures.
Facilitate prototype generation by preparing accurate drawings and specifications, coordinating with internal teams and suppliers to support prototype builds and assembly confirmations.
Support engineering estimates, supplier negotiations, and mass production specification setting by providing clear technical data, cost impacts, and design rationale.
Collaborate on-site with research and testing teams to understand test-related concerns, analyze root causes, and implement design changes and countermeasures as needed.
Lead or participate in small project teams in a Project Leader role, ensuring development targets and schedules are met by coordinating resources, tracking progress, and maintaining project timelines.
Achieve key project deadlines, including SED and TE milestones, by proactively managing tasks, risks, and dependencies across the development lifecycle.
Effectively utilize contractor resources by assigning tasks, providing technical guidance, and integrating their work into overall project deliverables.
Communicate project status clearly and regularly, and participate in or lead project meetings, technical discussions, and development events to align stakeholders and resolve issues.
Drive and maintain bills of materials (BOM) for new technologies, features, and components, using cost tables, cost simulation tools, and supplier quotations to ensure project cost targets are met.
Perform manual BOM maintenance within the department, carefully tracking changes and ensuring accuracy in part numbers, revisions, and configuration details.
Develop and propose ideas to improve product competitiveness through enhanced features, technologies, and design efficiency, as well as factory and development process improvements.
Support market quality initiatives and value analysis (VA) themes by investigating field issues, applying structured problem-solving methods, and implementing corrective measures in design specifications.
Analyze root causes of design or quality issues using systematic problem-solving techniques, and develop and implement countermeasure specifications (C/M specs) with minimal supervision.
Contribute to recurrence prevention activities by documenting lessons learned, updating standards or guidelines, and sharing best practices with the broader engineering team.
Create and manage development plans and schedules, ensuring alignment with product development timelines and coordinating cross-functional activities as required.
Coordinate testing activities for new designs, ensuring that appropriate tests are planned and executed by dedicated test teams, and that test results are incorporated into design improvements.
Interact and communicate effectively with staff and leadership, presenting technical information clearly and maintaining a high level of professionalism and confidentiality.
Maintain professional conduct at all times and follow all departmental, safety, and company policies, procedures, and rules in both office and shop environments.
Participate in continuous improvement initiatives related to design processes, tools, and standards to enhance efficiency, quality, and innovation across projects.

Essential Skills

Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience; a degree is preferred but not strictly required when supported by substantial relevant experience.
Minimum of 2+ years of engineering experience, preferably in power products or powersports, with consideration for higher experience levels for higher roles.
Strong experience with 2D/3D CAD software, specifically Catia, including 3D design and layout of mechanical components and assemblies.
Proficiency in design calculations, including gears, springs, and other mechanical elements, supported by finite element analysis (FEA) and related engineering methods.
Competence in tolerance stack-ups and application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to ensure manufacturable and robust designs.
Hands-on experience with FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and FTA (Fault Tree Analysis) for risk assessment and design robustness.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with sound judgment and decision-making capabilities to resolve technical issues effectively.
Ability to create and manage detailed plans and schedules, with a solid understanding of product development timelines and milestones.
Competent drawing and layout skills, including a solid understanding of CAE principles and their application to mechanical design.
Experience with bill of materials (BOM) creation and maintenance, including manual tracking of components, revisions, and cost impacts.
Proficiency with Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint for data analysis, reporting, and presentation of technical information.
Ability to guide and support small development teams, including coordinating tasks, resources, and timelines.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with cross-functional staff and leadership.
Ability to operate with a high level of confidentiality and professionalism in handling sensitive technical and business information.
Experience in engine or transmission design, particularly for small engine products, with a focus on mechanical rather than electrical systems.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Experience in power products or powersports industries, such as lawn and garden equipment, power equipment, or similar applications.
Relevant industry in appliances, transportation (including aircraft and marine), or heavy equipment, with an emphasis on engine integration.
Knowledge of manufacturing processes related to engine and transmission components, including gears, metallurgy, heat treatment, die casting, stamped products, and injection molding.
Familiarity with drawing issue processing tools such as Endeavor or similar systems for managing engineering changes.
Understanding of appropriate guidelines, standards, and regulations applicable to mechanical design and power products.
Experience coordinating with suppliers for design reviews, cost discussions, and manufacturing feasibility assessments.
