About the position

We are seeking a full-time Senior Mechanical Engineer in our Tucson, AZ location. In this role, you will be responsible for providing advanced engineering skills and project planning for electromechanical solutions for Garmin's Sporting Dog products. The position requires a deep understanding of mechanical design and the ability to manage complex projects from conception to completion. You will be expected to lead explorations of new technologies and make estimates on moderately complex mechanical designs, including tooling, part cost, and design time. Your expertise will be crucial in specifying test plans, mocking up, and testing complex mechanical systems to validate and verify compliance with design requirements. As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you will also manage basic trade-offs, determine risk mitigation plans, and provide technical input to product development plans and concept documents. You will be responsible for mentoring and providing guidance to less experienced Mechanical Engineers, helping them develop their skills in technologies, cost analysis, design techniques, and problem-solving processes. Your role will involve using sound problem-solving techniques to provide reliable solutions to a wide range of difficult problems and to offer process improvements and author new procedures. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mechanical engineering, with a focus on injection molding, die casting, sheet metal stamping, and machining.
