Senior Mechanical Product Engineer

GardaWorld•Long Beach, CA

3d•$125,000 - $150,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Senior Mechanical Product Engineer owns the controlled mechanical design of ECAM’s mobile surveillance platforms and custom Mobile Surveillance Unit (MSU) configurations. The role develops and maintains SolidWorks assemblies, production drawings, bills of materials, and related documentation, translating product and customer requirements into manufacturable, serviceable, and repeatable designs. Working with Product, Engineering, Operations, and manufacturing partners, the position supports moving prototypes and custom configurations into controlled production. The position is primarily office-based mechanical design work, with regular interaction with prototype, fabrication, and production activities. Travel of up to 10% may be required for supplier visits, manufacturing support, field validation, or project work. Shop or field work may require appropriate personal protective equipment and compliance with site safety requirements.

Requirements

Authorization to work in the United States.
At least three years of relevant mechanical design, product engineering, or manufacturing-engineering experience.
A degree in mechanical engineering or a diploma in mechanical engineering technology, manufacturing engineering technology, or a related discipline.
Demonstrated experience producing manufacturing-ready 3D models, assemblies, and detailed drawings in SolidWorks.
Proficiency with SolidWorks for parametric part modeling, assemblies, configurations, and detailed production drawings.
Demonstrated experience designing sheet-metal components, welded fabrications, frames, brackets, equipment mounts, and related manufactured assemblies.
Experience with trailers, mobile equipment, specialty vehicles, or comparable field-deployed electromechanical products.
Practical knowledge of outdoor enclosures, corrosion protection, sealing, ventilation, environmental exposure, and equipment serviceability.
Strong understanding of manufacturing and assembly processes, tolerances, material selection, and supplier capabilities.
Ability to interpret product requirements, equipment specifications, site constraints, and fabrication feedback and convert them into controlled mechanical designs.
Strong documentation, revision-control, and cross-functional communication skills.

Nice To Haves

Experience taking designs through prototype, validation, release, and production-change cycles is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

Create, organize, and maintain master SolidWorks assemblies, part models, fabrication drawings, and production documentation for mobile surveillance platforms.
Develop and maintain controlled bills of materials, approved component substitutions, and accurate links between drawings, assemblies, and production requirements.
Design custom MSU mechanical configurations that meet documented customer, product, equipment, serviceability, and deployment requirements.
Own mechanical engineering changes, drawing revisions, and release records so Production and Operations use current, approved information.
Apply design-for-manufacturing and design-for-assembly principles to reduce build variation, simplify fabrication, improve serviceability, and control cost.
Support prototype fabrication, assembly, fit checks, and design validation; document findings and incorporate approved changes into released designs.
Evaluate structural loading, equipment mounting, enclosure protection, ventilation, environmental exposure, transportation, and deployed-use requirements.
Coordinate mechanical and electrical interfaces, including equipment packaging, mounting, cable routing, power-system components, cameras, communications equipment, and service access.
Work with internal and external manufacturing teams to resolve drawing, fabrication, and assembly questions while protecting design intent and configuration control.
Perform other duties as required.
