Senior Project Engineer

About the Opportunity

Our client designs and manufactures power supply and energy storage equipment used across the aviation, locomotive, and industrial sectors including industrial battery power/jumper units and power storage units used to start and support aircraft, locomotives, and other heavy equipment. As a small but globally reaching manufacturer, they're looking for a Senior Project Engineer to take ownership of both the engineering and hands-on production side of the business.

This role is a strong fit for someone who wants real ownership over the products they design — from concept through the production floor at a company where engineering decisions have a direct and visible impact.

What You'll Do

• Modify and improve existing designs for power supply and energy storage products, including industrial battery/jumper units and power storage systems for aviation and locomotive applications
• Design new products within these same product families to meet evolving customer and market needs
• Work hands-on with production and manufacturing teams to support build, assembly, and troubleshooting of these products
• Bridge the gap between engineering design and shop-floor production in a small-company environment where engineers stay close to the product
• Collaborate on specifications, testing, and validation of new and modified designs
• Support quality and reliability efforts for products used in demanding aviation and rail environments
• Work directly with company leadership given the size of the organization and the hands-on nature of the role

What We're Looking For

• Engineering background with experience designing and/or modifying power supply, battery, or energy storage products
• Comfortable working across the full product lifecycle — design, prototyping, and production support — in a small-company setting where roles aren't narrowly siloed
• Spanish Speaking would be preferred.
• Familiarity with aviation ground support equipment, locomotive power systems, or similar industrial power/battery equipment is a strong plus
• Military experience is highly valued for this role. Candidates with a background in the Navy or Air Force, particularly those with pilot experience or hands-on experience working with aviation equipment, are especially encouraged to apply
• Practical, hands-on engineering mindset — comfortable being on the production floor, not just at a desk
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a small team environment

What's Offered

• A senior-level engineering role with real design ownership at a company whose products reach customers in more than 80 countries
• Direct, hands-on involvement across design and manufacturing rather than a narrow, siloed engineering function
• The chance to work on mission-critical power and energy storage equipment for aviation and rail customers
• A small-company environment with close collaboration with ownership/leadership
