About ANA:

Join a recognized industry leader - Alliance North America was proudly named a 2025 Top Workplace in the Manufacturing Industry, an honor based entirely on feedback from our own employees about our culture, values, and workplace experience.

Alliance North America was established in 2017 and is proud to be the sole North American supplier of AIRMAN Power Generators, AIRMAN Air Compressors, and ANA’s patented EBOSS® Hybrid Energy System and Smart load bank system. Our commitment to our customers is to Make their World Easier, by answering the phone, understanding your needs, and taking ownership to provide them solutions. With a large parts inventory and more than 90% of all orders shipping within 24 hours, you never have to worry about spare parts. We help keep your fleet in top condition with our world class Support Department, who are always ready to help and be a resource by providing training on our equipment.

ANA is headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, with locations in Cypress, California, and Spartanburg, South Carolina. ANA is growing and scaling, and we are seeking a versatile Powertrain Systems Engineer to join our team in an onsite position in Henderson, Nevada.

Engine Integration & Validation:

Specialize in the mechanical integration, structural mounting, and performance validation of diesel and variable-speed engines used within ANA’s power generators and hybrid energy systems.
Support calibration, load-response evaluation, and operational optimization across fixed-speed and variable-speed applications.

Performance Testing & Diagnostics:

Work extensively on the manufacturing floor and in testing environments to evaluate engines under extreme operational conditions.
Utilize advanced mechanical diagnostic tools to resolve complex engine, thermodynamic, and vibrational challenges.

System Assembly & Hands-On Prototyping:

Physically assemble, wire, tear down, and modify prototype engine units and test fixtures.
Take a hands-on approach to modifying equipment and evaluating functional performance to ensure machinery meets strict quality and power output standards.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM):

Evaluate engine integrations for manufacturability, partnering closely with design and process engineers to identify strategic areas for physical structural improvement, waste reduction, and production floor cost efficiency.

Documentation & Technical Writing:

Generate and maintain detailed engineering documentation, including Bills of Materials (BOMs), standard operating procedures (SOPs), testing validation logs, and assembly work instructions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Partner with design engineers, manufacturing teams, and product managers to communicate testing outcomes, define clear product specifications, and guide mechanical integration updates.

Other duties as assigned

Education: Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field; Master’s degree is a plus. Must have a strong academic or practical background in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and internal combustion engine mechanics.
Experience: 3 to 5 years of experience in mechanical engineering, hands‑on product validation, performance testing, or a similar development role.
Industry Domain: Experience working in testing or engineering capacities within industries such as power generation, heavy machinery, compressors, battery storage, or engines, including fixed‑speed and variable‑speed engine applications.
Manufacturing Knowledge: Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, including machining, assembly, and quality control principles.
Technical Tools & Diagnostics: Advanced proficiency with engine diagnostic tools, data acquisition systems, and performance testing equipment such as flow meters and load banks. (Note: Basic familiarity with CAD software to interpret drawings is helpful, but advanced modeling is not the primary focus of this role).
Variable-Speed Engine Certification: Ability and willingness to support testing, documentation, and regulatory certification efforts for variable‑speed engine platforms, including emissions, performance, and application‑specific compliance requirements.
Documentation & Systems: Strong technical writing skills and high attention to detail for engineering documentation. Proficiency in utilizing engineering and enterprise software platforms, including Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft Business Central ERP.
Innovation & Tools: Familiarity with generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) to assist with technical problem‑solving, data analysis, and workflow automation.
Professional Skills: Excellent problem‑solving, analytical skills, and strong project management capabilities, aligning with our core value of Root Cause Problem Solving. Ability to work well in a fast‑paced team environment and independently when required.
Growth Mindset: Comfortable working in a growing organization where processes are being built, refined, and scaled.
