Summary of Job:

The Engineer 3 role is a senior-level individual contributor within the Global Engineering organization. This position is responsible for designing, optimizing, and influencing system-level engineering solutions that support product development, testing platforms, process innovation, and R&D initiatives across Asurion’s operations.

Reporting to an Engineering Manager or Senior Manager, the Engineer 3 operates with strong technical autonomy and broad organizational influence. This role moves beyond feature ownership to system contribution—anticipating cross-functional impacts, improving engineering standards, and ensuring scalable, high-performing solutions across teams and sites.

Engineer 3 serves as a trusted technical authority within their domain, guiding solution architecture, improving engineering practices, and mentoring junior engineers.

This is a full-time, on-site, exempt position.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Design and optimize system-level engineering solutions that integrate processes, tools, data, and workflows across functions.
• Lead complex cross-functional initiatives that impact quality, performance, cost, scalability, or lifecycle outcomes.
• Establish and refine engineering standards, validation methods, documentation practices, and process controls.
• Own key system KPIs and proactively drive improvements through structured analysis and sustainable countermeasures.
• Serve as a subject matter expert in core technical domains, advising leadership and stakeholders on risk, feasibility, and long-term impact.
• Lead advanced root cause analysis and corrective action strategies across multi-functional systems.
• Support new product introductions, technology deployments, and process transformations with system-level readiness and validation oversight.
• Mentor Engineer 1 and Engineer 2 team members, elevating technical depth and structured problem-solving capability.
• Partner with global teams, suppliers, and stakeholders to align engineering solutions with long-term strategy.
• Communicate technical direction, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to leadership.
• Remain adaptable to evolving priorities while maintaining accountability for system performance and reliability.

Skills & Knowledge:

• Advanced knowledge of engineering principles within assigned discipline.
• Strong system-thinking capability — understands interactions across processes, tools, data, and people.
• Demonstrated ability to design scalable solutions beyond individual features.
• Proficiency in advanced problem-solving methodologies (RCA, CAPA, FMEA, DOE, statistical analysis).
• Ability to influence engineering direction without direct authority.
• Experience driving standardization and engineering best practices.
• Strong analytical, documentation, and cross-functional communication skills.
• Ability to balance short-term operational needs with long-term system optimization.

Behavioral Dimensions

• System Ownership – Thinks beyond individual tasks; accountable for system performance and sustainability.
• Technical Influence – Shapes engineering decisions and standards across teams.
• Strategic Problem-Solving – Anticipates risks and downstream impacts before implementation.
• Mentorship & Capability Building – Elevates team capability through guidance and knowledge transfer.
• Continuous Improvement Leadership – Drives structural improvements, not just reactive fixes.
