Mức độ phù hợp và xếp hạng của bạn so với ứng viên khác như thế nào?
YOU
You want to be an important member of a strong team of other makers who take pride in their work and support each other. As a Mechanical Engineer (Product Development), you will be responsible for collaborating directly with our global stakeholders (US, EU, Canada, etc.) to research and develop Simpson Strong-Tie products. If career growth is important to you, we not only know how to help you with that, it's what we love to do: [protected info]
What You'll Do
Support Product Research & Development (R&D) for Various Markets
• Design and develop mechanical product concepts and prototypes to drive new product development for the concrete Anchors, structural Connectors, Fasteners, test devices, and safety system markets.
• Ensure compliance with international standards, tailoring designs to European regulations (such as ETA/EAD and Eurocodes) or US standards (ASME, ASTM, AWS...).
• Lead the full R&D lifecycle by conducting feasibility studies, 3D modeling, advanced engineering calculations, and finite element analysis (FEA).
• Manage testing coordination, design iterations, and continuous improvement initiatives in close collaboration with European and global teams.
Material & Manufacturing Expertise
• Optimize designs by applying deep knowledge of metallurgy, heat-treatment, and surface-treatment processes (e.g., quenching, tempering, annealing, case hardening, nitriding, galvanizing/coating).
• Select and justify steel grades for specific applications and critically interpret complex material test reports.
• Utilize advanced Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles across a broad range of processes (milling, turning, etc.) to identify cost drivers, propose value-engineering solutions, and balance technical performance against production costs.
• Leverage familiarity with specialized manufacturing methods, such as thread rolling for anchors/fasteners and progressive-die stamping for sheet metal connectors (a strong plus).
Product Calculation
• Provide core engineering support for new and existing products, including preliminary and advanced product structural calculations, competitor product benchmarking comparisons, and the creation of standardized calculation templates.
Testing & Analysis
• Coordinate and support rigorous laboratory product testing activities, including test planning, establishing the DoE, experimental test data analysis, and technical test reports for product validation.
• Perform engineering analysis to support product mechanical performance, load capacity, durability, and reliability under various real-world failure modes.
Technical leadership & mentoring
• Act as a technical reference point for the team, reviewing designs and calculations, sharing know-how, and mentoring fresher engineers.
• Represent the engineering perspective directly to international stakeholders and help shape best practices, tools, and workflows.
• Other tasks as assigned by Line Manager
