Principal Electro-Mechanical Component Engineer

Are you ready for what’s next?  

Come explore opportunities within Brunswick, a global marine leader committed to challenging conventions and innovating next-generation technologies that transform experiences on the water and beyond.  Brunswick believes “Next Never Rests™,” and we offer a variety of exciting careers and growth opportunities within united teams defining the future of marine recreation. 

Innovation is the heart of Brunswick. See how your contributions will help transform vision into reality.

As an Electro-Mechanical Component Engineer on Mercury Racing’s Product Development Team, you will lead the design and validation of electrical components and wiring harnesses for Mercury’s propulsion and control systems. Projects typically focus on new engine design, but can also include the electrical components associated with pumps, steering controls, and transmission controls. This role will be more focused on the electrical hardware and less on the software.  It will also expand into non-electrical (mechanical) component design as needed.

At Brunswick, we have passion for our work and a distinct ability to deliver.

Essential Functions:

• Lead a small team of engineers and technicians, providing project responsibilities, priorities, workload, schedule, etc.

• Work with internal and external manufacturing facilities and suppliers for both prototype and production builds

• Participate in and facilitate concept reviews, design reviews, and design FMEAs

• Facilitate or participate in component and harness mockup/design reviews

• Development and execution of validation plans

• Support system-level vessel testing and validation of electrical components

• Design mechanical components as needed.

• Examples of systems/projects to expect:

  • Spec and source alternators and starter motors that satisfy the engines’ requirements (amperage, weight, corrosion protection, spark prevention, NVH tolerance, etc.)

  • Specing and sourcing sensors (temp, pressure, crank/cam position) that best suit the application.

  • Specing and sourcing actuators (throttle bodies, electric valves, pumps, linear actuators, etc.) that best suit the application.

  • Designing Power Distribution Centers (fuses, relays, battery interface, etc.)

  • Designing wiring harnesses to connect all systems.

Diversity of thought and experiences is fundamental when imagining the unimaginable. Certain skillsets/experiences are necessary; however, others can be developed along the way.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering or equivalent

• 8+ years of relevant experience

• Proficiency in the lab environment; test equipment, prototype build/modify/debug tools - particularly with component level testing of Actuators, Sensors (hall effect, digital), Electric motors (brushed, brushless) and Controllers

• Familiarity with control framework for hydraulic and digital systems

Preferred Qualifications:

• Injection molding experience

The hiring range for this position is $103,200 - $144,000 annually. The actual base pay offered will vary based on multiple factors including job-related knowledge/skills, relevant experience, business needs, and geographic location. Compensation decisions are dependent upon the specifics of the candidate’s qualifications and the business context.

In addition to base pay, this position is eligible for an annual discretionary bonus. This position is eligible to participate in Brunswick's comprehensive and high-quality benefits offerings, including medical, dental, vision, paid vacation, 401k (up to 4% match), Health Savings Account (with company contribution), well-being program, product purchase discounts and much more.
