Job Description

full-time
Our client is looking for a highly skilled and experienced Lead Mechanical Engineer to spearhead innovative design and simulation projects. This is a fully remote role, allowing you to contribute your expertise from the comfort of your home office. You will be instrumental in conceptualizing, designing, and analyzing complex mechanical systems, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and efficiency. This position requires a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles, advanced simulation techniques, and a proven ability to lead and mentor engineering teams.

You will take ownership of the entire design lifecycle, from initial concept generation and detailed design to prototyping, testing, and final production support. A significant aspect of this role involves leveraging advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools to predict and optimize system behavior under various operating conditions. Your ability to interpret complex simulation results and translate them into actionable design improvements will be paramount. You will also collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software developers, and product managers, to ensure seamless integration and successful product development. Excellent communication and project management skills are essential for coordinating efforts, managing timelines, and presenting technical findings to both technical and non-technical audiences. This is a fantastic opportunity to influence product development direction and drive technological advancements in a remote setting.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the design and development of new mechanical components and systems.
  • Perform advanced engineering analysis, including FEA and CFD simulations.
  • Optimize designs for performance, manufacturability, cost, and reliability.
  • Develop and maintain detailed design documentation, including CAD models and drawings.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure integrated product solutions.
  • Oversee the prototyping and testing of new designs, analyzing results and iterating as necessary.
  • Mentor and guide junior mechanical engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
  • Manage project timelines, resources, and budgets for mechanical engineering tasks.
  • Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry trends to drive innovation.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex mechanical design and performance issues.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. Master's degree or PhD preferred.
  • Minimum of 10 years of experience in mechanical design and analysis.
  • Expertise in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA) and simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL).
  • Strong understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and heat transfer.
  • Proven experience leading engineering projects and mentoring teams.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal abilities for effective remote collaboration.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage complex technical challenges.
