As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, you’ll serve as one of the key technical voices shaping the direction of the Mechanical Engineering function. You’ll have opportunities to influence standards and drive improvements in how we design and build equipment, helping make our engineering processes more

efficient, repeatable, and scalable for future projects.
