• Ensure engineering designs, drawings, Bills of Materials, test plans/reports, and project documentation are complete, accurate, and up to standard.
• Provide day‑to‑day support for truck applications, sustaining engineering, and manufacturing, assisting dealers, customers, plant teams, and Product Management with application‑related questions.
• Travel domestically and internationally up to 20%, as required.

What you will bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and at least 8 years of experience in engineering or product development. Master’s degree in engineering is a plus.
• Solid understanding and practical application of Systems Engineering principles, including system architecture, interface management, and technical tradeoff evaluation.
• Knowledge of refrigeration technologies, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics (preferred).
• Familiarity with Pro/Engineer or Creo and Windchill PLM is an advantage.
