We’re seeking a Principal Design Engineer who thrives on solving complex, high-impact problems, someone who measures success not just by completing tasks, but by the value created through innovative, data-driven solutions. This is a role for a technical leader who loves rolling up their sleeves, improving processes, and driving projects from concept to execution.

You will lead and inspire cross-functional teams, working closely with Quality, Manufacturing, and Production to implement engineering solutions that protect product integrity, enhance producibility, and deliver measurable, sustainable results. If you enjoy turning challenges into improvements and seeing the direct impact of your work on products and processes, this is the role for you.

What You Will Do

+ Provide experienced engineering support to production by training cross-functional teams on engineering requirements, product functionality, and preservation of product integrity throughout manufacturing processes

+ Analyze and disposition discrepant material based on technical assessment and product function

+ Drive engineering changes to improve producibility of legacy products, supported by strong technical substantiation

+ Liaise with New Product Introduction (NPI) teams to ensure seamless transition from Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) through full-rate production

+ Lead engineering projects aimed at reducing non-conformances caused by process variation or measurement system error

+ Facilitate root cause identification and clear problem definition with manufacturing cell teams

+ Design and execute test plans to evaluate risk and validate proposed changes

+ Review and assess measurement systems and tools, recommending improvements where needed

+ Implement corrective actions and monitor effectiveness using objective data

+ Create, update, and sustain site procedures to ensure long-term process stability

+ Communicate project progress and results through presentations and by leading technical discussions with senior leadership and customers

+ Apply advanced-to-expert knowledge of engineering principles to solve complex problems and guide project direction

+ Mentor early-career engineers, sharing technical expertise and supporting professional growth

+ Utilize strong proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) to ensure design and manufacturing accuracy

Qualifications You Must Have

+ Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 8 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years of experience

Qualifications We Prefer

+ Bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering, demonstrating a strong technical foundation

+ Proven experience in automotive, manufacturing, or aerospace industries, applying engineering expertise to complex, high-impact projects

+ Hands-on experience with dynamics, vibrations, and rotating equipment, solving challenging mechanical problems

+ Exceptional problem-solving skills, including RCCA, Statistical Process Control (SPC), and Lean Manufacturing, to drive measurable improvements

+ Proficiency with CAD systems and 3D modeling tools, enabling precise design, analysis, and manufacturing solutions
