The company is seeking a high-energy, curious, and adaptable Mechanical Engineer to join its Telehandler product line team on a contract basis. This role sits at the front line of engineering support, working closely with internal and external stakeholders to troubleshoot product issues, perform deep root cause analysis, and help develop next-generation solutions. This is a hands‑on, fast‑paced role ideal for an engineer who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and seeing ideas move from concept through production.

• Serve as part of the Engineering Helpdesk, providing day‑to‑day customer support engineering for internal teams and external customer‑facing needs
• Assess incoming engineering work requests within 24 hours, determine ownership, and prioritize based on urgency and impact
• Support external customer‑related issues, including rapid response to product failures or field issues
• Identify and correct design gaps or product offering issues (e.g., component visibility, system functionality)
• Perform deep root cause analysis using disciplined problem‑solving methodologies (including 8D) — no surface‑level or “service‑only” fixes
• Develop and implement both short‑term corrective actions and long‑term design improvements
• Contribute to new technology development, supporting projects from idea and concept through design, validation, and production
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with test technicians, electrical engineers, manufacturing, and other engineering teams
• Act as a key connector (“the glue”) to help move solutions forward efficiently and effectively

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related discipline)
• 2‑5 years of total experience (this can be a mix of internships and professional roles but at least 1 year in a professional role)
• Strong mechanical engineering background with some exposure or interest in Electrical Engineering
• Proven experience with root cause analysis and structured problem‑solving
• Comfortable working in environments where priorities can change quickly
• High energy, intellectually curious, and willing to dig deep to find the right solution
• Experience using Creo (3D CAD) or similar design tools

• Experience in manufacturing, heavy equipment, or construction equipment industries
• Prior work supporting customer‑facing engineering or field issue resolution
• Experience developing products or components from concept through production

$30/hr to $37/hr.
