Senior Project Engineer

Accentuate Staffing is working with an established manufacturer of engineered mechanical products in the Oxford area to recruit a Senior Project Engineer. This position will own high-impact development programs and help move new and improved products from early concepts through validation, production launch, and ongoing lifecycle support. The ideal candidate combines hands-on mechanical product design with disciplined project leadership. This engineer will evaluate complex designs, apply analytical and new-product-development tools, manage schedules and risks, and coordinate closely with manufacturing, quality, procurement, suppliers, sales, and customers. Responsibilities Lead mechanical product-development projects from concept definition and feasibility through prototype, validation, production launch, and lifecycle improvement. Build and manage project plans, milestones, budgets, risks, decisions, and deliverables while communicating clear status and resolving roadblocks. Develop and assess medium-to-complex designs using CAD, engineering calculations, FEA or flow analysis, tolerance studies, and data-driven design reviews. Apply DFMEA, DFM/DFA, validation planning, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action methods to improve performance, reliability, cost, and manufacturability. Coordinate technical work across manufacturing, quality, test, procurement, sales, suppliers, and customers; ensure a clean handoff into operations. Prepare specifications, drawings, reports, manuals, and other product documentation while mentoring junior engineers and improving engineering practices. Requirements Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering is required. Seven or more years of relevant experience designing and developing mechanical products; experience with medium-to-complex assemblies is strongly preferred. Proven success leading new-product or product-improvement projects through production, including schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder management. Proficiency with mechanical CAD; SolidWorks experience is preferred. Experience with FEA, flow analysis, GD&T, and tolerance stack-ups is highly valued. Working knowledge of DFMEA/FMEA, DFM/DFA, design reviews, validation, root-cause analysis, and engineering standards such as ASME, ASTM, ISO, or SAE. Strong meeting leadership, written and verbal communication, initiative, prioritization, and cross-functional collaboration skills; PMP or Six Sigma certification is a plus. #J-18808-Ljbffr Accentuate Staffing
