Full Job Posting
Overview
- We are seeking a detail oriented Mechanical Integration Engineer to join our R&D team.
- You will bridge multiple engineering disciplines to ensure airframe, propulsion, avionics, payloads, and launch/recovery systems come together as a unified system.
- This is an excellent opportunity for an early career engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of aerodynamics, structures, propulsion and avionics.
Key Responsibilities
- Participate and support conceptual design studies, contributing to system level architecture and trade off analyses.
- Integrate airframe, propulsion, avionics, payload, and launch/recovery subsystems into a coherent and manufacturable vehicle design.
- Define mounting interfaces between mechanical and avionics systems ensuring compatibility.
- Own space allocation, cable routing strategies, and accessibility planning to support efficient maintenance and serviceability.
- Proactively identify integration risks early in the design cycle and drive resolution through collaboration.
- Support hands on prototype assembly, providing on vehicle integration guidance and resolving fit/form issues.
- Produce clear, accurate, manufacturing ready part and assembly drawings in line with engineering drawing standards.
- Collaborate with manufacturing and supply chain teams to ensure designs are producible and cost effective.
- Develop validation and test plans to verify that integrated assemblies meet design requirements.
- Support physical testing activities, recording observations and analyzing results against acceptance criteria.
- Author thorough technical reports and presentations to support design reviews and project milestones.
What We're Looking For
- 0–3 years of experience in a mechanical design, systems integration, or product development role.
- Demonstrated ability to work within multi disciplinary teams and manage competing priorities.
- Exposure to aerospace, automotive, or complex electromechanical product development is an advantage.
- Strong proficiency in SolidWorks (3D modelling, assemblies, configurations, and drawing environments).
- Competent in producing 2D production drawings to industry standards (GD&T, ASME/ISO).
- Familiarity with PDM/PLM systems for data management is a plus.
- Excellent understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes.
- Bachelor's Degree or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or Mechatronics Engineering.
Bonus Points – Nice to Have
- Knowledge of composite materials and manufacturing processes (layup, bonding, co cure).
- Exposure to additive manufacturing for prototyping or end use parts.
- Familiarity with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
- Experience with FEA tools (e.g. SolidWorks Simulation, ANSYS) for basic structural analysis.
- Understanding of aerospace certification/qualification requirements.
Who You Are
- You are naturally curious and enjoy understanding how complex systems fit together.
- You take ownership of your work and follow issues through to resolution.
- You are organized, thorough in your documentation, and comfortable working in a dynamic environment.
