Senior Engineering Manager
We are recruiting on behalf of our client, a manufacturer of temperature sensors, compression seal fittings, and cable and harness assemblies.
Position Summary
Lead product design engineering and the development of engineered solutions from customer requirements through design validation and production release. The priority is a leader with substantial design engineering experience who can guide technical decisions, review detailed designs, and develop engineers while maintaining project delivery and product quality.
Key Responsibilities
· Lead and develop the engineering team, establish priorities, allocate resources, and manage project commitments.
· Provide hands-on technical direction for product architecture, mechanical design, materials selection, tolerances, and design verification.
· Lead concept, preliminary, and detailed design reviews; challenge assumptions and resolve technical risks before release.
· Translate customer performance, environmental, and interface requirements into clear engineering specifications and validation plans.
· Oversee drawings, bills of materials, design calculations, engineering changes, and controlled product release.
· Partner with sales and customers on technical feasibility, application requirements, proposals, and custom product solutions.
· Collaborate with manufacturing and quality to improve manufacturability, address field or production failures, and support new product introduction.
· Build engineering capability through coaching, clear technical standards, and consistent design and project management practices.
Proposed Qualifications
· Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
· Progressive product design engineering experience, including responsibility for complex technical decisions and design delivery.
· Engineering leadership experience managing people, priorities, and multiple development projects.
· Strong command of mechanical design, CAD, GD&T, tolerance analysis, materials, and verification methods.
· Ability to remain technically engaged in detailed design reviews and guide engineers through difficult design problems.
· Clear communication with customers, commercial teams, manufacturing personnel, and senior leadership.
Preferred Background
Experience with temperature sensing, sealing products, precision components, or engineered assemblies is preferred. A graduate engineering degree and experience improving engineering workflows are also valued.
