Senior Mechanical/Electrical Engineer Vehicle Design

Location: Oshkosh (Onsite with flexibility)
Type: Contract (6 months) Strong Contract-to-Hire Potential
Schedule: Day Shift (Standard Business Hours)
Work Authorization: U.S. Citizenship Required

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on heavy-duty vehicles and advanced mechanical systems
• Strong mix of design, analysis, and real-world production support
• Exposure to full product lifecycle engineering
• High likelihood of conversion to full-time

Core Responsibilities:

• Design and develop mechanical components and vehicle systems for heavy-duty/off-highway equipment
• Create 3D CAD models and assemblies using PTC Creo
• Perform engineering analysis, calculations, and design validation
• Generate 2D drawings, GD&T, specifications, and bills of materials (BOMs)
• Support vehicle integration, packaging, and system-level design
• Evaluate designs for performance, durability, safety, and reliability
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, supply chain, suppliers)
• Provide production and troubleshooting support for engineering issues
• Analyze and resolve design failures, field issues, and test results
• Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations
• Mentor junior engineers and support project execution

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 3+ years of experience in mechanical design / product development
• Experience with 3D CAD (Creo strongly preferred; SolidWorks, NX, CATIA acceptable)
• Strong understanding of:
  • Mechanical systems design
  • Engineering drawings & GD&T
  • Materials and manufacturing processes
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional engineering environment

Preferred / Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with heavy-duty vehicles, automotive, defense, or off-highway equipment
• Familiarity with PLM tools such as Windchill
• Experience with:
  • Structural components / chassis / frames
  • Hydraulics, powertrain, or vehicle systems
  • FEA / engineering analysis tools
• Background supporting prototype builds or manufacturing environments
