Job Description:

Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar yourejoining a global team who cares not just about the work we do but also about each other. We are the makers problem solvers and future world builders who are creating stronger more sustainable communities. We dontjust talk about progress and innovation here we make it happen with our customers where we work and live. Together we are building a better world so we can all enjoy living in it.

Are you ready to take your engineering career to the next level and make a real impact in the heavy machinery industry Join ourElectrical Installation teamwithin theTracked Products organizationand become a driving force behind the design and development of electrical integration forDrills.

As aSenior Design Engineer youll be leading the concept development and integration of electrical harnesses power cables and electrical installation. This is a hands-on role based at the factory where your designs come to life and you get to work directly with the machines you help create.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Factory-based immersion: Work directly on machines troubleshoot in real-time and see your designs in action.

• End-to-end ownership: From concept to production be involved in every stage of the design lifecycle.

• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with manufacturing suppliers and purchasing to optimize performance and cost.

• Growth & impact: Strengthen your design analytical and engineering skills while contributing to high-impact mining applications.

What Youll Do

• Lead planning scheduling cost and quality efforts for electrical installations on Drills.

• Own and manage the electrical integration BOM structure and ensure seamless interaction with adjacent systems.

• Design and refine wiring harnesses power cables and installation components usingCreo and Creo SDP.

• Collaborate with suppliers and internal teams to ensure manufacturability and lifecycle efficiency.

• Review CAD models drawings and BOMs for accuracy and compliance with Caterpillar standards.

• Drive New Product Introduction (NPI) deliverables including cost velocity reliability and quality targets.

• Support Continuous Product Improvement (CPI) by addressing feedback from Product Support and Manufacturing.

• Troubleshoot electrical issues and support fit-ups and root cause investigations at the factory.

• Translate functional requirements into detailed design documentation.

What skills you will have:

Technical Excellence: Experience inmechanical or electrical design especially in harnesses and cable systems. Knowledge of electrical systems and schematics (Creo Schematic) is a plus. Experience in manufacturing and mining environments is highly desirable. Strong troubleshooting abilities and hands-on problem-solving.

Computer-Aided Design & Engineering: Proficiency in designing harnesses cables wiring assemblies and installations using CAD tools especially Creo Parametric will distinguish you from other candidates. Experience with Vis View is desirable to help perform virtual checks and interpreted analysis results for electrical integration designs.

Product Design MFG: Understands large equipment assembly and electrical component integration. Experienced with harness manufacturing and cost factors. Guides product development and ensures functional design. Reviews customer feedback to improve performance.

Analytical Thinking: Skilled in evaluating risks costs and success factors to solve complex problems. Uses the right tools and research to identify root causes and drive effective solutions.

Effective Communications: Strong communication and collaboration directing and reviewing work of other engineers is highly to work with global team members.

Managing Multiple Priorities: Ability to handle multiple tasks and adapt to shifting priorities. Resolves conflicts and maintains delivery timelines.

Product Design and Development: Experience in creating standards to improve product efficiency. Develops prototypes and validates concepts. Solves complex design challenges and advises on solutions.

Degree Requirement: Bachelors degree in an accredited Engineering curriculum.

Additional Information:

This position requires the candidate to work full-time in the Denison TX office.

Domestic relocation is available.

Occasional travel (10%) may be required to support activities at manufacturing and/or customer sites.
