Mechanical / Mechatronic Project Engineer – Product Development

Mechanical / Mechatronic Project Engineer – Product Development

Location:

Owasso, Oklahoma

Department:

Product Development / Engineering

Reports To:

Engineering Manager

Employment Status:

Salaried, Exempt

Position Overview

We are seeking a

Mechanical / Mechatronic Project Engineer

to lead the technical development of complex products from concept through release and sustainment. This role owns the

engineering solution

for assigned projects and serves as the

technical focal point

across design, substantiation, manufacturing integration, and configuration control.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on engineer who thrives in

product development environments

, is comfortable making technical decisions, and can balance detailed engineering work with cross‑functional coordination.

Key Responsibilities

Product Development \& Technical Ownership

• Lead

end‑to‑end product development activities

for mechanical or mechatronic components and assemblies, from initial concept through production release and sustaining support

• Define technical requirements, system boundaries, and verification approaches for assigned projects
• Own the technical architecture and engineering decisions needed to meet performance, regulatory, and manufacturability requirements

Design \& Engineering Execution

• Perform detailed mechanical and/or mechatronic design, including:
• 3D CAD modeling and 2D drawing creation
• Application of GD\&T to support function, inspection, and production
• Conduct or coordinate engineering substantiation activities (stress, thermal, fatigue/durability, functional analysis, as applicable)
• Develop and execute design substantiation and test plans to demonstrate compliance with applicable certification or regulatory requirements

Reverse Engineering

• Perform reverse engineering of existing components and assemblies, including:
• Dimensional inspection and data capture
• Material and process evaluation
• Functional assessment and documentation
• Support sustaining engineering activities, addressing nonconformances, field issues, and continuous product improvements

Technical Data \& Configuration Management

• Develop and maintain complete

technical data packages (TDPs)

, including drawings, specifications, substantiation reports, test plans/reports, and manufacturing instructions

• Support configuration management and engineering change control, ensuring changes are technically sound, properly documented, and evaluated for regulatory and customer impact

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with

Quality, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Operations

to ensure designs are producible, inspectable, and compliant

• Support inspection planning and First Article Inspection (AS9102 or equivalent)
• Interface with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders to resolve technical issues and clarify requirements

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in

Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Aerospace Engineering

, or a related engineering discipline

• 2\+ years of experience in

product development, mechanical design, or sustaining engineering

• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD and 2D drawing creation (Inventor preferred or equivalent)
• Demonstrated ability to create production‑ready engineering documentation
• Experience owning technical solutions across the product lifecycle
• Solid understanding of engineering substantiation, test planning, and verification methods
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with the ability to drive technical issues to closure
• Effective written and verbal communication skills, including technical documentation and cross‑functional collaboration

Preferred / Nice‑to‑Have Experience

• Experience in

regulated manufacturing environments

(aerospace, aviation, defense, medical, automotive, etc.)

• Familiarity with aerospace quality and documentation standards (AS9100, AS9102/FAI, configuration management)
• Experience with certification‑driven development, reverse engineering, or compliance documentation
• Strong GD\&T skills (ASME Y14\.5) applied to functional and inspection‑driven designs
• Exposure to mechatronic systems (electro‑mechanical integration, sensors, actuators, control interfaces)

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Products are technically sound, compliant, and production‑ready
• Engineering decisions are well‑documented and defensible
• Technical risks are identified early and addressed proactively
• Cross‑functional teams trust the engineering direction and clarity
• Designs transition smoothly from development to production and sustainment
