Engineering Manager Jobs in Provo, UT (NOW HIRING)

LVT is redefining how businesses operate in the physical world, moving beyond traditional security solutions to deliver AI-driven, actionable intelligence that makes sites smarter, safer, and more secure. Since pioneering our first mobile, solar-powered units, our commitment to scrappy, hands-on innovation has made us an established leader and one of the fastest-growing companies in intelligent site technology. We are building the next generation of solutions—from our physical units in the field to a powerful Agentic AI platform—that allows our customers to gain unprecedented visibility and control over safety, compliance, and operations. This is your chance to join a cutting-edge team that isn't just watching the world change, but actively building the technology that is changing it.

We're a team that's focused on growth and innovation, and we're proud that our crew, products, and leadership are being recognized for it.

• A Top-Tier Growth Company: Named one of the Financial Times' Fastest Growing Companies 2025 and #10 on the Inc. 5000 Rocky Mountain Regional list for 2025.
• Innovative Leadership: Our CEO, Ryan Porter, was named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year 2025, and our CTO, Steve Lindsey, was inducted into the Silicon Slopes CTO Hall of Fame in 2024.
• Product & Software Excellence: We were named one of The Software Report's Top 100 Software Companies of 2023 and are a winner of the Security Today Govies Award for 2025.

As the Senior Mechanical Engineering Manager, you will lead the hardware evolution of LVT's products into new form factors and market segments. You are responsible for the entire mechanical lifecycle: from helping determine product direction, performing rapid R&D, delivering through development stage gates and supporting sustaining efforts. You will lead a high-performing team of engineers to solve complex thermal, structural, and power challenges in extreme environments. This role is a critical bridge between visionary product design and operational excellence, ensuring our "scrappy" innovation scales into world-class reliability.

This role is based in-office out of our Headquarters in American Fork, Utah, although some days will need to be spent with the team and inhouse manufacturing based in Spanish Fork. There will also be approximately 5-10% travel required to our partners overseas facilities.

• Strategic Leadership: Own the mechanical engineering roadmap, balancing the speed of New Product Introduction (NPI) with the stability of sustaining engineering.
• Team Mentorship: Lead, hire, and develop a multi-disciplinary mechanical engineering team, fostering a culture of high accountability and rapid prototyping.
• Design for Excellence (DfX): Oversee the design of camera and sensor products, ensuring they meet strict standards for manufacturability, reliability,cost, and field serviceability.
• Lifecycle Management: Direct the transition of products from prototype to mass production, working closely with Product, Program Management, Supply chain and manufacturing partners.
• Thermal & Structural Integrity: Validate hardware performance through rigorous simulation and physical testing to survive diverse, off-grid environmental conditions.
• Continuous Improvement: Analyze field failure data to drive iterative design improvements, increasing the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) for our global fleet.
• Vendor Management: Manage relationships with fabricators and component suppliers to ensure technical specifications and lead times align with LVT's growth targets.

• Proven Leadership: 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience, with at least 3+ years in a formal people-management or lead role.
• Full-Lifecycle Expertise: Demonstrated success taking complex hardware products from a "napkin sketch" through high-volume production.
• Technical Depth: Expert-level proficiency in 3D CAD (Creo preferred) and a strong grasp of FEA, thermal analysis, and electronics.
• Ruggedized Design Experience: Background in designing electric-mechanical products with connectivity, audio, thermal, optical, and power challenges.
• NPI Expert: Deep understanding of manufacturing processes (sheet metal, injection molding, CNC, etc.) and global supply chain dynamics.
• Analytical Mindset: You make decisions based on data, whether it's stress-test results or manufacturing cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) analysis.
• Communication Style: Ability to translate complex engineering hurdles into clear business risks and opportunities for executive leadership.
• Education: B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.

We believe you do your best work when your whole life is supported. We invest in our crew's health, families, and financial futures with a benefits package designed to support you inside and outside the office.
