Lead Mechatronic Engineer
About The Position
If you’re an engineer who loves mechanical design, cutting-edge tech, and products that actually move, this is your dream job. We’re a growing marine & powersports manufacturer known for innovation—literally. Our team recently earned an industry Innovation Award for our self-booting powered bimini system, and now we’re expanding. We’re looking for a creative, hands-on engineer who wants to own this product line, push its evolution, and help define the future of automated shade systems on the water and trail. If you love building products that make people stop and say “Whoa… how does that work?”, you’ll fit right in. You’ll be the engineering lead for our next-generation powered bimini systems—responsible for design, integration, testing, and continuous improvement. This is a role for builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers who want to see their ideas show up on boats and powersports vehicles across the country.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field.
- Strong mechanical design background with hands-on understanding of metal fabrication processes (welding, machining, forming, cutting, tolerancing).
- Proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, Inventor, CREO, or similar).
- Familiarity with basic electrical or controls concepts (PLC interfaces, sensors, actuators, wiring fundamentals).
- Ability to interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, fabrication prints, and schematics.
- Strong problem-solving skills with ability to diagnose mechanical and electromechanical issues.
- Excellent communication, collaborative mindset, and ability to work cross-functionally.
- Ability to manage multiple projects while meeting deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Hands-on aptitude for prototyping, testing, and mechanical assembly.
Nice To Haves
