## About the Role

Technical/Engineering Design, Analysis Skills, Leadership, Drilling, Concrete, Team Player, Product Development, Technical Leadership, Cross-Functional, Data Analysis, * Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering

 * 5 years of machine design experience, minimum

 * Strong proficiency in 3D CAD Modeling

 * Deep mechanical aptitude is required including a broad knowledge of engineering materials, machine component design, mechanical properties and an understanding of the manufacturing processes associated with these materials.

 * Willingness and ability to travel up to 10% (travel includes Domestic and International).

 * Genuine interest in tools of the construction trades and a passion for innovative product development.

 * Strong motivation to grow, learn, and be challenged by the unknown

 * Experience in systems where closed-loop performance, accuracy, and repeatability are critical (e.g., robotics, automated assembly, precision torque/control systems).

 * Strong foundation in process control and applied statistics, including capability metrics, variation reduction, and experimental design.

 * Ability to think at the system level by showing an understanding how hardware, controls, and user/environmental inputs interact to influence performance consistency.

## Description

* Lead technical resource on mid/high complexity Power Tool New Product Development projects.

 * Provide clear technical information to cross functional teammates, Project Leaders and Global Engineering teams, facilitating trade-off decisions.

 * Establish test regimens for components and assemblies within project scope with minimal guidance; deliver complete data analysis to support design recommendations.

 * Serve as a technical resource and provide consultation/mentorship to engineering and non-engineering teammates alike.

 * Apply first principles to create free body diagrams and develop static and/or dynamic models of new systems, leading the design analytically and supporting decision-making through rigorous engineering analysis.

 * Perform mechanical stress analysis on linear and non-linear systems.

 * Conduct root cause analysis to identify and resolve technical challenges.

 * Execute tolerance stack analyses (statistical and geometric preferred).

 * Design and analyze gear-driven systems and mechanisms, including sound and vibration/response of dynamic systems.

 * Demonstrate system-level thinking by maintaining a holistic view of how interdisciplinary design decisions affect user needs and project delivery.

 * Collaborate proactively with interdisciplinary peers to plan for and address issues that could impact schedule, cost, performance, or delivery of user needs.

 * Create and execute plans to inform early-stage development using both empirical and analytical methods; develop structured approaches to investigate root cause and troubleshoot designs under cost, schedule, performance, and other constraints.

 * Operate effectively in a high-paced and dynamic development environment.

 * Motivate and support learning-actively seek opportunities to learn and teach others about new discoveries and best practices.
