Job Description

Mechanical Product Development Engineer

***Relocation assistance may be available for the right candidate. ***

We are seeking a Mechanical Product Development Engineer to join a growing engineering team supporting the development of advanced power-generation and mechanical systems. This is a hands-on product development opportunity where you will be involved in mechanical design, system integration, testing, validation, and commercialization of new products.

This is a direct-hire, first-shift opportunity with a well-established global manufacturer offering strong benefits, long-term stability, and significant exposure to new product development.

What You'll Do

• Support the design and development of mechanical systems and components from initial concept through production

• Work with oil and lubrication systems involving fluid flow, filtration, thermal management, and mechanical components

• Create and modify component designs using CAD software

• Support prototype builds, engineering testing, and product validation

• Analyze test results and help troubleshoot mechanical performance issues

• Assist with system-level integration across multiple engineering disciplines

• Develop engineering specifications, test plans, risk assessments, and validation documentation

• Participate in DFMEA, DVPR, design reviews, and root-cause investigations

• Work with engineering and manufacturing teams to improve product performance, reliability, and durability

• Utilize engineering fundamentals including fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, stress, and mechanical systems

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline

• 1–3+ years of mechanical engineering, product development, design, or related experience

• Experience using CAD/design software such as Creo/ProE, SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, or similar

• Strong understanding of mechanical systems and mechanical design principles

• Ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and testing teams

Preferred Experience

• Product development, R&D, or new product introduction experience

• Mechanical product testing or validation

• FEA or engineering simulation experience

• Fluid systems, lubrication systems, pumps, filtration, thermal systems, engines, turbines, or rotating equipment

• Experience with instrumentation such as pressure sensors, temperature sensors, flow meters, or vibration measurement equipment

Why Consider This Opportunity?

This is a great opportunity for a mechanical engineer who wants to move beyond basic design work and gain experience throughout the entire product-development lifecycle. You'll work on technically challenging systems while gaining exposure to design, prototyping, testing, validation, and commercialization.

Compensation: Approximately $110,000+/year depending on experience

Schedule: First Shift

Location: Asheville NC area – Fully On-Site

Employment Type: Full-Time, Direct Hire
