Senior Mechanical/Electrical Engineer – Vehicle Design (Creo / Heavy Equipment)

Location: Oshkosh (Onsite with flexibility)

Type: Contract (6 months) Strong Contract-to-Hire Potential

Schedule: Day Shift (Standard Business Hours)

Work Authorization: U.S. Citizenship Required

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work on heavy-duty vehicles and advanced mechanical systems

• Strong mix of design, analysis, and real-world production support

• Exposure to full product lifecycle engineering

• High likelihood of conversion to full-time

Core Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical components and vehicle systems for heavy-duty/off-highway equipment

• Create 3D CAD models and assemblies using PTC Creo

• Perform engineering analysis, calculations, and design validation

• Generate 2D drawings, GD&T, specifications, and bills of materials (BOMs)

• Support vehicle integration, packaging, and system-level design

• Evaluate designs for performance, durability, safety, and reliability

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (manufacturing, supply chain, suppliers)

• Provide production and troubleshooting support for engineering issues

• Analyze and resolve design failures, field issues, and test results

• Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations

• Mentor junior engineers and support project execution

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field

• 3+ years of experience in mechanical design / product development

• Experience with 3D CAD (Creo strongly preferred; SolidWorks, NX, CATIA acceptable)

• Strong understanding of

• Mechanical systems design

• Engineering drawings & GD&T

• Materials and manufacturing processes

• Ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional engineering environment

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience with heavy-duty vehicles, automotive, defense, or off-highway equipment

• Familiarity with PLM tools such as Windchill

• Experience with

• Structural components / chassis / frames

• Hydraulics, powertrain, or vehicle systems

• FEA / engineering analysis tools

• Background supporting prototype builds or manufacturing environments
