About the role

Caterpillar Inc. is seeking a Component Design Engineer for large engines (heads, blocks, housings) to concept, develop, and design complex components with global teams. You will work on diesel, natural gas, and alternative fuel engines, plan projects, and mentor teammates while staying ahead of new technology. You will collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, and suppliers to release and validate core engine components for current and future programs.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
