Senior Project Engineer

Sr NPD Project Engineer, Mechanical--Company Overview Our client is a fast-growing, privately held manufacturer of power distribution and smart grid equipment. It finished last year at ~$1B in revenue and has already added another $600M in 2026 from data center projects alone, at a time when demand for this kind of equipment has never been greater. Where this role sits -- new product development -- is the heart of the business. The company was founded by two engineers and has stayed privately owned for over a century, meaning it answers to customers rather than to shareholder profits. It reinvests ~3.5% of revenue into R&D every year and keeps its focus on building innovative, high-quality products it knows the market will love. In this role you'd be a technical lead on complex NPD projects within a 30-person NPD team. You'd own the design of an entire subsystem from first concept to analysis, prototyping and testing, to production release for high-volume manufacturing. You'd lead a cross-functional project group, keeping leadership informed as the work progresses, and have a plan ready when your prototype doesn't pass a test. Power equipment industry experience is a plus, but isn't required. If you've led mechanical design projects on complex, durable, industrial, or outdoor, electromechanical products before (e.g. appliances, engines/transmissions, commercial or industrial equipment) this is a chance to bring that experience into the power grid sector while it's hotter than ever!
