About the role
Sr. Product Engineer | Adventurer & Overlander Campers
Role Purpose
Serve as the technical owner for the Adventurer truck camper portfolio and Overlander motorhome product family, including white-label rental motorhome programs. Own the product lifecycle from concept through launch, sustaining engineering, compliance, field performance, and end-of-life while remaining a hands-on engineer.
What You Own
* Technical product ownership for Adventurer and Overlander campers. * Product lifecycle, architecture, NPD, technical roadmap, and major engineering decisions. * Motorhome/body-to-chassis integration, weight and packaging decisions, and major vehicle-system interfaces. * Applicable product compliance and certification, coordinating electrical and quality requirements. * Own ERP and CAD model readiness for product release, ensuring engineering models, drawings, BOMs, part data, revisions, and released configurations are complete, synchronized, and production-ready. * Engineering release, product-level change approval, validation requirements, and technical BOM integrity. * Technical leadership and development of the Overlander Design Engineer.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead new product and major derivative development from requirements through production release. * Develop and review CAD models, layouts, interfaces, drawings, specifications, and prototypes as needed. * Coordinate chassis, body, structural, plumbing, HVAC, interior, electrical, and installed-equipment integration. * Own technical resolution of production, field, warranty, and supplier issues affecting the product. * Drive product improvements in reliability, manufacturability, weight, cost, serviceability, and customer experience. * Run brand-segment technical project plans, design reviews, risk reviews, and engineering priorities. * Ensure released engineering data, BOMs, and changes are accurate and controlled.
Cross-Functional Responsibilities
* Operations and Manufacturing Engineering on DFM, process readiness, line launch, cost, and production issues. * Quality on validation plans, NPD quality gates, root cause, corrective actions, and field/warranty learning. * Supply Chain on supplier technical requirements, component selection, alternates, and technical issue resolution. * Service, Sales, and Marketing on field feedback, customer requirements, product changes, and launch readiness.
Qualifications & Experience
* Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, product design engineering, or a related technical discipline; equivalent directly relevant experience considered. * Typically 7+ years of progressive product engineering experience, including ownership of complex physical products through development and sustaining phases. * Strong 3D CAD, drawing, GD&T, BOM, configuration/change-control, prototype, and production-support capability. * Demonstrated ability to lead teams and cross-functional technical work without relying on a large program-management organization. * Hands-on problem solver comfortable moving between CAD, prototypes, suppliers, testing, and the production floor. * Experience with RVs, motorhomes, specialty vehicles, automotive upfitters, commercial vehicles, or similar integrated vehicle products strongly preferred. * Working knowledge of vehicle/chassis integration, weight ratings, installed systems, and regulatory/compliance considerations is highly desirable.
What Success Looks Like
* New Adventurer and Overlander products launch on time with clear technical ownership and disciplined engineering release. * Products meet defined requirements, compliance obligations, validation targets, and production-readiness expectations. * Production and field issues are resolved quickly at root cause and recurrence declines. * ERP product data, CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and released configurations are aligned and ready before production release. * Engineering changes, BOMs, and technical documentation remain accurate and controlled.
Operating principle: Own the product. Lead the technical decisions. Stay close enough to the work to solve problems directly.
