Senior Mechanical Engineer

What You’ll Do

• Develop a strong system-level understanding of the Stride product, including the mechanical system and its interactions with controls, electrical hardware, manufacturing, installation, and service.

• Own complex mechanical projects or major areas of the product from problem definition through design, analysis, prototyping, validation, documentation, release, and production support.

• Lead investigations into reliability and performance issues using structured root-cause analysis, testing, field data, and sound engineering judgment.

• Identify recurring problems and develop robust solutions that address underlying causes rather than individual symptoms.

• Evaluate how proposed changes affect the broader product, including reliability, safety, cost, manufacturability, installation, serviceability, and compatibility with existing systems.

• Support the adaptation of the Stride platform for new customers, applications, environments, and market segments while managing product complexity.

• Provide technical direction for mechanical projects or subsystem-level work involving other engineers and cross-functional partners.

• Create and maintain high-quality engineering documentation, including requirements, calculations, drawings, bills of material, test plans, test reports, design reviews, and engineering change orders.

• Work closely with manufacturing, sourcing, quality, controls, electrical engineering, installation, service, and product management.

• Communicate technical risks, tradeoffs, decisions, and recommendations clearly to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.

• Review the work of other engineers and help strengthen the team’s technical practices, product knowledge, and documentation quality.

• Mentor less-experienced engineers and contribute to a collaborative and accountable engineering culture.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related engineering discipline.

• 5+ years of experience

• Considerable experience designing, developing, and supporting complex mechanical or electromechanical products.

• Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including mechanisms, structural design, materials, tolerancing, manufacturing processes, and component selection.

• Demonstrated ability to independently investigate ambiguous technical problems and bring them to a documented, production-ready resolution.

• Experience improving the reliability of an existing product through root-cause analysis, testing, and design changes.

• Ability to understand system-level behavior and recognize how a change in one area may affect the rest of the product.

• Sound engineering judgment and the ability to make practical tradeoffs among technical performance, risk, cost, schedule, and product complexity.

• Experience taking designs through release and change-control processes, including drawings, bills of material, design reviews, validation, and engineering changes.

• Willingness to take ownership of both highly technical work and the detailed documentation required to implement it successfully.

• Ability to work autonomously while building alignment within a multidisciplinary team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with industrial automation, material-handling equipment, robotics, conveyors, or other complex machinery.

• Experience supporting products deployed in customer or production environments.

• Familiarity with reliability engineering methods, failure analysis, risk assessment, and design verification.

• Experience designing for manufacturing, assembly, installation, maintenance, and field service.

• Experience with SolidWorks, PDM or PLM systems, and formal engineering change-control processes.

• Experience mentoring engineers or improving team processes, tools, or technical standards.

You May Be a Strong Fit If You

• Prefer improving and evolving a real, fielded product over working exclusively on new concepts.

• Naturally look beyond the immediate design problem to understand its effect on the full system.

• Enjoy finding patterns across field issues and turning them into durable product improvements.

• Can move comfortably between system-level technical discussions and detailed design or documentation work.

• Are willing to question existing approaches while respecting the knowledge embedded in an established product.

• Take satisfaction in closing the loop: confirming that a design works, documenting it correctly, and ensuring that it can be built and supported.

• Influence decisions through technical credibility, clear reasoning, collaboration, and consistent follow-through.
