Remote Engineering Manager - Mechanical & Electrical (Latam)

• We are seeking an Engineering Manager – Mechanical & Electrical to lead and develop a distributed team of LATAM-based engineering resources.
• This role is mechanically driven , with strong responsibility for design quality, execution, and manufacturability, while also overseeing electrical engineering integration.
• You will act as the key bridge between U.S.-based stakeholders and LATAM execution teams , ensuring all deliverables are accurate, aligned, and delivered on time.
• This is a technical leadership role , requiring deep involvement in engineering work, not a people-only management position.

Engineering Leadership & Team Management

• Lead and develop LATAM-based CAD Technicians, Drafters, Mechanical Design Engineers, and Electrical Engineers
• Set clear expectations for quality, delivery, and technical rigor
• Assign and prioritize work across multiple programs
• Mentor engineers to improve technical capabilities and execution
• Provide performance feedback and support ongoing development

Mechanical Engineering (Primary Focus)

• Own mechanical design execution across modular systems, enclosures, and industrial structures
• Review and approve designs for accuracy and manufacturability
• Ensure proper application of materials, tolerances, and fabrication methods
• Drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-assembly (DFA) best practices
• Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to align designs with build strategies

Electrical Engineering Oversight

• Provide leadership and oversight for electrical engineering deliverables
• Ensure clean integration between electrical systems and mechanical layouts
• Review schematics, layouts, and documentation for completeness and consistency
• Coordinate and resolve mechanical–electrical interface challenges

Standards, Quality & Governance

• Establish and enforce engineering standards, templates, and best practices
• Ensure consistent use of CAD tools, drawing standards, and revision control
• Maintain quality control across engineering output from LATAM teams
• Support engineering change management and design revisions

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Program teams
• Translate project requirements into clear engineering work packages
• Support project timelines, milestones, and risk identification
• Act as a technical escalation point for complex design challenges

Global Team Execution

• Manage distributed teams across time zones with clear communication and structure
• Ensure alignment between stakeholders and LATAM engineering execution
• Drive accountability without micromanagement
• Build repeatable workflows for offshore engineering support

Technical Review & Risk Management

• Review complex designs for technical risk, cost drivers, and manufacturability concerns
• Identify issues early and drive corrective action
• Ensure designs meet compliance, safety, and customer requirements

Must-Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
• 10+ years of experience in industrial, modular, or engineered-to-order environments
• 5+ years of experience leading engineering teams
• Strong mechanical engineering background with design experience
• Experience managing remote or distributed teams
• Ability to review and approve mechanical and electrical designs
• Strong communication and technical leadership skills

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with modular systems, enclosures, or industrial equipment
• Experience working with CAD teams and drafting resources
• Familiarity with SolidWorks and SolidWorks Electrical
• Experience integrating mechanical and electrical systems
• Experience working with LATAM or offshore engineering teams
• Exposure to manufacturing, fabrication, or production environments
• Work for the most exciting companies in the North American Market.
• Flexible schedules.
• Work from anywhere.
• Highly competitive compensation.
