Type: Contract (6 months) Strong Contract-to-Hire Potential
Schedule: Day Shift (Standard Business Hours)
Work Authorization: U.S. Citizenship Required

Why This Role Stands Out

• 
  Work on heavy-duty vehicles and advanced mechanical systems
• 
  Strong mix of design, analysis, and real-world production support
• 
  Exposure to full product lifecycle engineering
• 
  High likelihood of conversion to full-time

Core Responsibilities:

• 
  Design and develop mechanical components and vehicle systems for heavy-duty/off-highway equipment
• 
  Create 3D CAD models and assemblies using PTC Creo
• 
  Perform engineering analysis, calculations, and design validation
• 
  Generate 2D drawings, GD&T, specifications, and bills of materials (BOMs)
• 
  Support vehicle integration, packaging, and system-level design
• 
  Evaluate designs for performance, durability, safety, and reliability
• 
  Collaborate with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, supply chain, suppliers)
• 
  Provide production and troubleshooting support for engineering issues
• 
  Analyze and resolve design failures, field issues, and test results
• 
  Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations
• 
  Mentor junior engineers and support project execution

Required Qualifications:

• 
  Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 
  3+ years of experience in mechanical design / product development

  Experience with 3D CAD (Creo strongly preferred; SolidWorks, NX, CATIA acceptable)
• 
  Strong understanding of:
  • 
    Mechanical systems design
  • 
    Engineering drawings & GD&T
  • 
    Materials and manufacturing processes
• 
  Ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional engineering environment

Preferred / Nice-to-Have:

• 
  Experience with heavy-duty vehicles, automotive, defense, or off-highway equipment
• 
  Familiarity with PLM tools such as Windchill
• 
  Experience with:
  • 
    Structural components / chassis / frames
  • 
    Hydraulics, powertrain, or vehicle systems
  • 
    FEA / engineering analysis tools
• 
  Background supporting prototype builds or manufacturing environments
