Engineer III New Product Development

Additional Locations:  
Requisition ID: 26747 Sometimes, rebellions start small. Twenty years ago, our company opened its doors with a focus on building heavy-duty products for the motorsports industry, and the Renegade RV name was born the very day we decided to set up a display outside a members-only industry show. That passion to do things differently, rebelling against the status quo, has shaped Renegade into a luxury motorhome legend. Like you, we’re renegades, determined to carve our own path, and fueled by an obsession for extreme quality. You’ll find we take a proprietary approach to motorhome construction because everything we build is made to own the roads you travel.   Renegade RV is part of Terex Corporation, a global designer and manufacturer of specialized vehicles and equipment, including fire and emergency vehicles, waste and recycling equipment, RV's, and machinery supporting construction, utilities, and infrastructure. With operations across the U.S. and globally, we are committed to safety, innovation, and quality while building products our customers depend on every day.  

Job Summary:

Responsible for designing and developing a product/product family for the next generation of high-performance luxury motor coaches and specialty vehicles. This role is turning innovative ideas into real-world products—from early concept development through prototype validation and production launch.  You will work with product innovation, structural design, and manufacturing to collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, and operations teams to deliver high-quality, production-ready solutions. This position will focus heavily on new product innovation and offers the opportunity to influence future platforms and solve complex engineering challenges in a fast-moving manufacturing environment. Contributes to moderately complex aspects of a project. Work is generally independent and collaborative in nature.
