  • Drive continuous improvement and innovation through strategic decision making and comprehensive risk assessment.
  • Lead detailed planning, mechanical design, analysis, and production release activities to meet challenging requirements.
  • Challenge legacy solutions and introduce innovative, manufacturable designs.

Diversity of thought and experiences is fundamental when imagining the unimaginable. Certain skillsets/experiences are necessary; however, others can be developed along the way.

Required Qualifications:

  • BSME with 10 yrs experience in engine design or engine related field to exhibit deep, technical, powerhead component or powerhead system-level expertise.  
  • Experience using DFSS problem solving tools and track record of generating and implementing viable creative solutions to complex challenges.
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes including casting, forging, machining, heat treatment, grinding, balancing, and assembly.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with a wide range of powerhead component development/design and their manufacture.
  • Strong communication and investigative skills using DFSS problem solving tools.
  • Experience with component-level and product-level validation testing.

At Brunswick, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top end of the salary range for their role. Compensation decisions are dependent upon the specifics of the candidate’s qualifications and the business context.

This position is eligible to participate in Brunswick's comprehensive and high-quality benefits offerings, including medical, dental, vision, paid vacation, 401k (up to 4% match), Health Savings Account (with company contribution), wellbeing program, product purchase discounts and much more.  Details about our benefits can be found here.
