Job description

Senior Design Engineer Philippi-Hagenbuch, Inc. | Peoria, IL Design the equipment that moves the world.

At Philippi-Hagenbuch (PHIL), we don't build ordinary equipment-we engineer custom solutions for some of the world's toughest mining and off-highway applications. Our products are used across the globe, and every design is tailored to solve a unique customer challenge.

We're looking for an experienced Senior Design Engineer who thrives on innovation, enjoys solving complex engineering problems, and wants to see their ideas become reality. If you're passionate about designing heavy equipment, collaborating with talented teams, and making a lasting impact, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

As our Senior Design Engineer, you'll lead the design and development of customized off-highway haul truck products from concept through production.

You’ll:

  • Design innovative, customer-specific heavy equipment solutions using Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD.
  • Partner directly with customers to understand their applications, performance requirements, and operating environments.
  • Collaborate with Production to ensure designs are manufacturable, practical, and efficient.
  • Improve existing products through engineering analysis, innovation, and new technologies.
  • Develop Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering documentation.
  • Perform load profile assessments and engineering simulations.
  • Review and approve engineering drawings created by other designers.
  • Support Sales by creating proposal drawings for prospective customers.
  • Assist with research and development initiatives and patent documentation.
  • Use advanced measurement technology, including LIDAR systems, to capture accurate field data.
  • Mentor and train fellow engineers while helping shape engineering standards and best practices.
What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who combines technical excellence with creativity and strong communication skills.

Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
  • Strong experience with 3D CAD software (Autodesk Inventor preferred)
  • Solid understanding of mechanical design and manufacturing processes
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills
  • Ability to manage multiple projects while maintaining exceptional attention to detail
  • Willingness to travel occasionally, both domestically and internationally
Preferred Qualifications
  • Professional Engineer (P.E.) license or actively pursuing licensure
  • Experience designing heavy equipment, mining equipment, or other large fabricated products
  • Experience working directly with manufacturing and production teams
Why PHIL?

At PHIL, your work doesn't get lost in bureaucracy. You'll have the opportunity to:

  • Design products used around the world
  • Solve complex engineering challenges
  • Work directly with customers and see your designs come to life
  • Collaborate with an experienced, supportive engineering team
  • Contribute to research, innovation, and patented technologies
  • Grow into future technical leadership opportunities

This role also offers long-term career growth, including the opportunity to help lead and develop our engineering team as the department continues to expand.
