The engineer delivers hands-on mechanical design for moderate to high-complexity outdoor power equipment (OPE) systems and subsystems, owning detailed design from concept to production with a focus on robust design, manufacturability, validation and cost. The role works closely with Product Management, Manufacturing, Quality, Sourcing and global suppliers.

Key responsibilities

• Own end-to-end mechanical design of components, sub-assemblies or systems, from concept and layout through detailed CAD, validation and production release.
• Maintain 3D CAD models, 2D drawings, GD&T, tolerance stacks and specifications, and perform design trade-off analyses.
• Design for manufacturing, cost and quality, partnering with sourcing and suppliers early and supporting value engineering.
• Ensure designs meet internal standards and regulatory requirements (UL, ANSI, CSA, ISO).
• Define DFMEA inputs and design risks, run verification plans (tolerance validation, stress analysis, durability, environmental and abuse testing), and approve engineering changes and deviations.
• Work with Product Management, Manufacturing, Quality and Compliance teams on certifications, audits and failure investigations.

Required profile

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 5 years of design experience in consumer, industrial or electromechanical products.
• Demonstrated experience with materials, manufacturing processes, tooling and supplier-built components.
• Experience leading design verification and validation with data-driven methods.
• Preferred: outdoor power equipment, power tools or small engines experience, pilot build support, global supplier collaboration and Asia-based manufacturing familiarity, and UL/CSA/ANSI compliance work.

Required skills

• Strong 3D CAD (Creo, SolidWorks, NX or equivalent), detailed drawings and GD&T.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and technical communication skills.

Occasional travel of about 3-10% to suppliers, manufacturing sites or test facilities.
