Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership & Product Development

• Lead the entire mechanical design lifecycle of new products, ensuring designs meet functional specifications, manufacturability (DFM), and reliability targets.
• Serve as the primary technical interface for all mechanical design issues with our U.S. counterparts , facilitating effective joint development and clear project alignment.
• Oversee and perform the detailed design of components using various manufacturing methods, including machined parts, sheet metal parts and enclosures, castings, and 3D printed components.
• Manage the assembly, integration, and testing of complex electromechanical prototypes and final products.
• Review and ensure the mechanical compatibility of designs with electrical components, including the ability to read and interpret basic wiring harness schematics.
• Drive continuous improvement in design processes, tool adoption, and documentation standards.

Team Management & Collaboration

• Lead, mentor, and manage the mechanical team, fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and timely execution.
• Coordinate engineering tasks and projects using formal task management methodologies and software (e.g., Jira).
• Ensure effective and articulate communication of technical details, project status, and risks to the CEO and cross-functional teams, particularly with international stakeholders .
• Implement industry standard practices related to product design and development, including the utilization of proper Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools and documentation.

Required Qualifications

• Education: Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field supported by a strong portfolio of proven design experience.
• Experience: Minimum 5 years of professional experience in product design and development, with a clear focus on electromechanical systems.
• Industry Knowledge: Proven experience in a relevant field such as: Heavy Industrial Equipment, Machine Vision Systems, Railway Signaling, and/or Industrial Automation
• Full Lifecycle Experience: Demonstrated success taking products from the initial concept/prototype phase through to full-scale deployment and field operation.
• CAD Proficiency: Expert level proficiency with SolidWorks and/or other equivalent professional CAD systems.
• Team & Process Skills:
• Proven capability to lead and manage an engineering team.
• Experience utilizing task management platforms (e.g., Jira, Confluence) and adhering to agile or formal engineering best practices.

**Preferred Qualifications**

• Environmental Design: Direct experience designing mechanical systems intended for high shock and vibration environments (e.g., railway, defense, or heavy equipment), as well as extreme exposure to a variety of environmental factors that may be present near railroad sites (e.g. extreme cold and heat, snow and ice, local wildlife, dust/dirt/debris.)
• Simulation & Analysis: Experience with advanced simulation and analysis tools:
• FEA (Finite Element Analysis) for structural integrity and mechanical stresses.
• CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) for thermal management and airflow analysis.
• Motion Control: Experience with the design and integration of actuators and other industrial motion control devices.
• Machine Vision: Familiarity with machine vision systems and processes; from hardware selection (cameras, lighting, and lenses) and testing, to image capture and processing.
