Project Engineer II - New Product Development Engineering

Job Description:

The Project Engineer II leads defined new product development (NPD) projects or major workstreams for TTI Engineering with limited direction. This role converts product and user needs into executable technical plans, coordinates cross-functional delivery, manages schedules and risks, and drives timely closure of gaps affecting performance, cost, quality, and launch readiness.

Key Job Functions & Responsibilities

• Leads development and alignment of product requirements, cost, engineering specifications, CTQs, and measurable acceptance criteria for assigned projects.
• Identifies gaps in user needs, product performance, cost, and schedule, and challenges the team to close those gaps.
• Write general and detailed specifications (i.e., product, performance and testing specifications). Lead refinement of these requirements based on technology and customer requirements.
• Owns milestone readiness, action tracking, decision logs, and follow-up across functional workstreams.
• Identifies risks early, develops mitigation plans with owners and dates, and drives closure before issues reach the critical path.
• Leads cross-functional problem solving on product performance, manufacturability, quality, supplier, and launch issues.
• Communicates concise project updates to engineering and cross-functional leadership, including risks, trade-offs, support needed, and next decisions.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related engineering discipline.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in engineering, product development, manufacturing, or technical project leadership.
• Working knowledge of engineering fundamentals, drawings, product testing, and structured problem solving.
• Ability to organize technical information, maintain action trackers, and communicate clearly across functions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with consumer electronic products, outdoor power equipment, power tools, or battery powered systems.
• Experience with 3D CAD (Creo / SolidWorks / NX or equivalent).
• Working knowledge of electrical, battery-powered, and power-conversion systems, with the ability to interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, component specifications, battery/BMS data, and electrical test results.

Travel

• Up to 10% travel (international and domestic).
