• Ability to review CAD drawings, interpret FEA, and manage engineering documentation.
• Occasional international travel as required.
• Willingness to obtain PE licensure where appropriate and to establish and manage a network of licensed Professional Engineers authorized to review and stamp documents in accordance with applicable state requirements.
• Experience with below-the-hook devices or crane systems preferred.
• Knowledge of magnets or lifting systems.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical discovery with Sales and customers to define application requirements, operating conditions, and system scope for engineered lifting solutions.
• Provide preliminary system sizing, application feasibility assessments, and configuration recommendations.
• Translate customer and sales requirements into structured engineering scopes for outsourced engineering partners.
• Own the technical definition of HLS projects from customer opportunity through engineering release.
• Serve as the primary technical interface with external engineering and fabrication partners for system configuration and design.
• Review and approve below-the-hook engineering drawings, calculations, and submittals.
• Ensure compliance with ASME BTH-1, CMAA, OSHA, and internal safety standards and SB30.20.
• Verify magnet selection, load paths, attachment design, safety factors, and review FEA when provided.
• Deliver complete engineering packages including drawings, BOMs, specs, lift plans, and documentation.
• Support service technicians and installation partners during commissioning or escalations (remote).
• Standardize engineering practices, reusable designs, and documentation to improve scalability and growth.
• Identify recurring issues and drive updates to engineering standards and practices.
• Drive standardization of lifting system components to reduce customization where practical.
• Develop Preventive Maintenance programs and spare parts inventories.
