Staff Mechanical Design Engineer, NPI

Join BorgWarner Portland (Cascadia Motion brand) as a Lead Mechanical Design Engineer, driving clean-sheet mechanical design programs from concept through production. As a proven professional, you will own the full mechanical design - from top-level system architecture to detailed component and complex tooled part design. You will be directly responsible for creating and managing large, detailed CAD models, with a focus on building robust geometry efficiently and quickly to support rapid iteration and design maturity. The BorgWarner Portland team is a small, highly agile group specializing in the design and manufacture of hardware for electric vehicle propulsion & industrial power systems - including electric motors, power electronics (inverters), and transmissions. In contrast to the complex structures often found in large engineering organizations, we operate with lean, right-sized processes tailored to our customers’ needs - empowering engineers to make decisions quickly and keep projects moving efficiently. With design cycles typically around a year, our fast-moving environment fosters innovation, adaptability, and strong team engagement. BorgWarner Portland has an extensive and international customer base, ranging from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to emerging technologies and startups.
