Salary:
$105,000 - 125,000/year We are searching for a qualified Mechanical Engineer to lead technical failure analyses across multiple domain areas, including traffic collision reconstruction, plumbing and water intrusion diagnostics, occupational safety evaluations, and product failure assessments. You will join a highly collaborative, team-oriented organization that prioritizes a healthy workplace culture and professional growth.
Core Responsibilities:
In this role, you will apply fundamental physical and engineering principles to solve complex loss claims and support client litigation needs through rigorous field investigations and technical reporting. Rather than a standard office-bound engineering position, this opportunity offers a varied schedule with occasional day or overnight travel to inspect physical evidence and loss sites directly, often outdoors. Perform site and physical evidence inspections, with a primary emphasis on motor vehicle collision assessment. Retrieve and extract Event Data Recorder (EDR / "black box") information from impacted vehicles. Perform mathematical analyses and computer simulations to reconstruct dynamic collision events. Manage forensic case files end-to-end, taking projects from initial intake through final report delivery.
Candidate Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME / MSME).Active Professional Engineer (PE) credential preferred. Minimum of 3–5 years in specialized mechanical engineering disciplines. Solid grasp of core vehicle architecture, including powertrains, structural chassis design, thermal behavior, and vehicle dynamics. Willingness to travel regionally (including occasional overnight stays) for site inspections. Exceptional verbal articulating skills and clear, concise technical writing abilities. Self-motivated and capable of working autonomously while maintaining strong peer relationships; exceptional attention to detail and proven ability to manage strict project deadlines.
