At Sentry, we believe great engineering goes beyond design-it's about ownership, innovation, and delivering real-world solutions that matter. As a 100% employee-owned company, every project you lead and every improvement you drive directly contributes to our shared success.

If you're an experienced engineer who thrives on solving complex challenges, leading projects, and shaping the future of products-we'd love to have you on the team.

In this role, you will:

• Lead product line ownership across the full lifecycle-from development through manufacturing and customer application
• Develop custom engineer-to-order solutions based on customer needs and existing product platforms
• Drive innovation in product design with a focus on cost, manufacturability, and performance
• Analyze and improve existing products for reliability, efficiency, and quality
• Lead cross-functional engineering projects and guide less experienced engineers and technicians
• Ensure compliance with applicable codes and standards (ASME, ANSI, ATEX, TEMA, CRN, etc.)
• Review and approve engineering changes and design releases
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, and other teams to resolve issues and improve processes
• Lead initiatives to improve engineering tools, processes, and overall efficiency

You're a technically strong, hands-on engineer who takes pride in your work and leads with both expertise and accountability. You enjoy digging into challenges, mentoring others, and continuously improving how things are done.
