We are seeking an
Engineering Manager – Mechanical & Electrical
to lead and develop a distributed team of LATAM-based engineering resources.
This role is
mechanically driven
, with strong responsibility for design quality, execution, and manufacturability, while also overseeing electrical engineering integration.
You will act as the
key bridge between U.S.-based stakeholders and LATAM execution teams
, ensuring all deliverables are accurate, aligned, and delivered on time.
This is a
technical leadership role
, requiring deep involvement in engineering work, not a people-only management position.
Engineering Leadership & Team Management
- Lead and develop LATAM-based CAD Technicians, Drafters, Mechanical Design Engineers, and Electrical Engineers
- Set clear expectations for quality, delivery, and technical rigor
- Assign and prioritize work across multiple programs
- Mentor engineers to improve technical capabilities and execution
- Provide performance feedback and support development
Mechanical Engineering (Primary Focus)
- Own mechanical design execution across modular systems, enclosures, and industrial structures
- Review and approve designs for accuracy and manufacturability
- Ensure proper application of materials, tolerances, and fabrication methods
- Drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) best practices
- Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to align designs with build strategies
Electrical Engineering Oversight
- Provide leadership and oversight for electrical engineering deliverables
- Ensure clean integration between electrical systems and mechanical layouts
- Review schematics, layouts, and documentation for completeness and consistency
- Coordinate and resolve mechanical–electrical interface challenges
Standards, Quality & Governance
- Establish and enforce engineering standards, templates, and best practices
- Ensure consistent use of CAD tools, drawing standards, and revision control
- Maintain quality control across engineering output from LATAM teams
- Support engineering change management and design revisions
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Program teams
- Translate project requirements into clear engineering work packages
- Support project timelines, milestones, and risk identification
- Act as a technical escalation point for complex design challenges
Global Team Execution
- Manage distributed teams across time zones with clear communication and structure
- Ensure alignment between stakeholders and LATAM engineering execution
- Drive accountability without micromanagement
- Build repeatable workflows for offshore engineering support
Technical Review & Risk Management
- Review complex designs for technical risk, cost drivers, and manufacturability concerns
- Identify issues early and drive corrective action
- Ensure designs meet compliance, safety, and customer requirements
Requirements
Must-Have
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
- 10+ years of experience in industrial, modular, or engineered-to-order environments
- 5+ years of experience leading engineering teams
- Strong mechanical engineering background with design experience
- Experience managing remote or distributed teams
- Ability to review and approve mechanical and electrical designs
- Strong communication and technical leadership skills
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with modular systems, enclosures, or industrial equipment
- Experience working with CAD teams and drafting resources
- Familiarity with SolidWorks and SolidWorks Electrical
- Experience integrating mechanical and electrical systems
- Experience working with LATAM or offshore engineering teams
- Exposure to manufacturing, fabrication, or production environments
Benefits
- Work for the most exciting companies in the North American Market.
- Flexible schedules.
- Work from anywhere.
- Highly competitive compensation.
