We are the Corporate Engineering and Product Development organization within JB Poindexter & Co., supporting nine business units across the company's portfolio of commercial vehicle and upfit solutions spanning Class 1-7 vehicles.

This team leads the development and launch of innovative products and technologies across a diverse set of applications and end markets.

We operate in a highly dynamic, project-based environment, managing programs ranging from rapid development cycles (weeks) to complex, multi-year product launches, while partnering closely with business units, customers, and suppliers to bring fresh solutions to market.

We are seeking a hands-on Mechatronics Engineer with 5+ years of experience to join our Corporate Engineering and Product Development team.

This role is intended for an engineer with a strong mechanical foundation who can also work across electrical systems, harness design, control systems, and software-adjacent development.

The ideal candidate is mechanically strong, comfortable designing parts and assemblies in SolidWorks, and experienced supporting real product development from concept through prototype, validation, and production release.

This individual should also be capable of working with electrical components, wiring harnesses, sensors, actuators, control modules, and system-level integration.

While this role is primarily mechanical in nature, the engineer should be able to collaborate effectively with software and controls teams and preferably have working familiarity with C#, C++, and/or Python.

This is not intended to be a pure software role, but the ability to understand, troubleshoot, and contribute to software-controlled mechanical or electrical systems is highly valuable.

This position is ideal for a broad, practical engineer who enjoys mechanical design, vehicle systems, prototyping, controls, electrical integration, and solving complex cross-functional engineering problems.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:



* Design and develop mechanical and mechatronic systems for commercial vehicle applications using SolidWorks, including structures, mechanisms, mounts, enclosures, automation features, and vehicle-integrated components.


* Create 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and technical documentation...
