Remote Mechanic information

What is a remote mechanic?

A Remote Mechanic job involves diagnosing, troubleshooting, and assisting with vehicle repairs remotely, often using video calls, online chats, or diagnostic tools. Instead of working in a traditional shop, remote mechanics guide vehicle owners or on-site technicians through repair processes. They may also analyze vehicle data, suggest solutions, and provide maintenance advice. This role is ideal for experienced mechanics who want to leverage their expertise without physically handling vehicles.

What does a remote mechanic do?

A typical day for a Remote Mechanic involves diagnosing vehicle or machinery issues via video calls, responding to service requests, and guiding clients or on-site technicians through troubleshooting and repairs. You’ll spend much of your time using digital tools to interpret diagnostic data, reviewing photos or videos sent by clients, and providing step-by-step instructions remotely. Collaboration with customer service teams, parts suppliers, and sometimes other mechanics is common. The ability to multitask, prioritize remote service tickets, and document each case thoroughly is key to success in this role. Over time, remote mechanics may have opportunities to specialize in certain types of equipment or move into supervisory roles within remote support teams.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote mechanic?

To thrive as a Remote Mechanic, you need strong mechanical troubleshooting skills, technical knowledge of vehicles or machinery, and prior hands-on repair experience, often supported by relevant certifications like ASE or manufacturer-specific credentials. Familiarity with diagnostic software, remote assistance platforms, and digital communication tools is crucial for virtual assessments and guidance. Excellent problem-solving, clear communication, and self-management abilities set outstanding remote mechanics apart. These skills ensure efficient, accurate service delivery while maintaining customer satisfaction and trust in a virtual environment.

Your work directly impacts product performance, safety, and innovation across our customers' engineering programs.

You'll analyze and improve the structural mechanics of mechanical systems, lead design efforts, and contribute to cuttingedge engineering initiatives across multiple industries.

This is a remote role supporting customers nationwide, with occasional travel to fabrication shops, test sites, or field locations.

Requirements

What You'll Do
  • Perform FEA simulations (linear, nonlinear, contact, buckling, fatigue, largedeflection) using ANSYS or similar tools
  • Analyze and validate crane structures, lifting beams, rigging components, and heavy mechanical systems
  • Develop 3D models, detailed drawings, and engineering documentation in SolidWorks, Inventor, or Creo
  • Conduct hand calculations to verify FEA results and support design decisions
  • Lead mechanical design from concept through prototype, testing, and field implementation
  • Support customers with rapid engineering assessments and problemsolving
  • Generate engineering reports, test plans, and work packs for fabrication and field execution
  • Collaborate with crossfunctional teams, fabricators, and field technicians
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to design reviews and process improvements
MustHave Qualifications
  • BSME 10+ years or MSME with 5+ years of hands-on, demonstrated FEA experience with the analysis of major components of heavy equipment that could be mobile or stationary equipment
  • 10+ years of mechanical engineering experience in cranes, lifting systems, or heavy mechanical equipment
  • Advanced FEA experience (ANSYS strongly preferred)
  • Strong background in structural mechanics, weldments, heavy steel structures, and loadbearing systems
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks, Inventor, or Pro/E/Creo
  • Demonstrated ability to produce welldocumented calculations, FEA reports, and design packages
  • U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder
  • Ability to travel up to ~10%
Preferred Experience
  • Designing cranes, hoists, lifting beams, gantries, or highcapacity structures
  • Experience with hydraulic or mechanical powertrain systems
  • Familiarity with offshore, industrial, or construction lifting environments
  • Knowledge of ASME B30, API, DNV, ABS or similar standards
  • Handson exposure to fabrication, testing, or field commissioning
Work Environment
  • Fully remote (48 contiguous USA only)
  • Occasional travel to customer sites, fabrication shops, or test facilities
  • Work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams and field personnel

Benefits

We value our team's well-being and offer a robust benefits package to support your professional and personal growth:
