the lottery is wage-weighted — each level is one more entry
Even the top of this range is below the Level II threshold of $134,202, so this role stays at one lottery entry however you negotiate. That is a property of the posted band, not of you.

About the role
- We take pride in fostering a culture where employees feel valued, supported, and inspired to grow.
- The right person is organized, persistent, comfortable chasing people across functions, and able to keep hundreds of parts and assemblies across varying pedigrees in a structured system without losing track of any of them.
- Please beware of job seeker scams and see this important notice on our careers page for more information about our recruiting process.
Responsibilities
- Take completed designs from the mechanical design engineers and drive them end to end through the release process to a released state in 3DX
- Maintain a clear, current view of what is in flight, what is blocked, and what has released, and report that view back to the team
- Own the tracking and organization of engineering tickets across the team's systems, including Jira, SOLVE tickets, EB HW tickets, CPC, and related repositories
- Create and structure tickets and epics on behalf of engineers when new issues surface, so that items are tracked rather than lost
- Drive issues toward closure by following up with owners and escalating stalled items to the manager
- Recommend and implement improvements to how the team organizes and tracks tickets across repositories
- The High Voltage Hardware team is seeking a Mechanical Release Engineer to own the engineering release process and issue tracking for its hardware programs.
- As the program scales, release administration has become the largest drain on design engineering time.
- Once a design engineer completes their design, this person picks it up and carries it all the way to a released state, prompting the right approvers, tracking status, and preventing the rework caused by late or incorrect releases.
- This is a process ownership and coordination role rather than a design role.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, or equivalent hands on experience in a product development environment
- 4+ years supporting hardware or mechanical product development in a release, change management, program coordination, or technical project management capacity
- Direct experience driving parts and assemblies through a formal engineering release or change process
- Working proficiency with Jira, including building and structuring tickets, epics, boards, and filters
- Demonstrated ability to track a high volume of concurrent items without losing visibility of status or ownership
- Identify the required approvers and stakeholders for each release, follow up proactively, and keep items moving against program timing
- Build and maintain a consolidated view of open issues by product, so the team can answer at any time what is outstanding and what is required to close it
- All candidates selected for employment will be required to successfully complete a pre-employment drug screening as a condition of hire.
Nice to have
- Hands on experience with 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) release workflows
- Background in automotive or another high-volume hardware environment with formal PLM discipline
- Exposure to high voltage systems, power conversion, power distribution, or electromechanical assemblies
- Familiarity with engineering change orders, BOM structures, and part pedigree conventions
Compensation
- $115,000 - 130,000
- The actual salary offered is dependent on various factors including, but not limited to, location, the candidate's combination of job-related knowledge, qualifications, skills, education, training, and experience
