Senior Mechanical Engineer

• Design & Innovate: Create high-precision mechanical components, enclosures, and positioner drive assemblies using 3D CAD ( Creo ).
• Lead Programs: Act as the primary mechanical engineering lead on select flagship projects while contributing technical expertise across integrated product teams.
• Hands-On Engineering: Move beyond the desk—build prototypes, perform root-cause troubleshooting, and support component- and system-level qualification testing.
• Analyze & Refine: Conduct structural, thermal, and dynamic analyses (FEA) to ensure systems withstand extreme environmental conditions.
• Bridge Design & Manufacturing: Collaborate closely with internal production teams and external suppliers to optimize for manufacturability (DFM/DFA), maintainability, and cost.
• Mentor & Elevate: Guide and inspire junior engineers, fostering a strong culture of technical rigor and continuous growth.
• Represent Engineering: Present technical designs, analyses, and trade studies during critical internal and customer design reviews.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering.
• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical product design and hardware development.
• CAD Expertise: Strong 3D CAD modeling skills ( Creo preferred ).
• Engineering Fundamentals: Deep understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, configuration management, and Design for Manufacturability/Assembly (DFM/DFA).
• Status: U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card holder) required due to U.S. Government contracts.

• Mechanical design of precision positioner drive systems, gear trains, or motion control hardware.
• Hands-on Finite Element Analysis ( FEA ) for structural, thermal, vibration, and dynamic shock conditions.
• Experience with composite structures, advanced materials, and surface treatments/coatings.
• Familiarity with diverse manufacturing processes: machining, casting, injection molding, and additive manufacturing.

• You are a creative problem solver who approaches complex physical constraints with clarity and logic.
• You are an effective communicator who can pitch a complex design trade-off to engineers and business stakeholders alike.
• You are collaborative by default , building strong bridges with manufacturing, suppliers, and customer teams.

• Typical office, CAD workstation, and lab/manufacturing environments.
• Ability to lift or move prototype equipment up to 50 lbs on occasion.
• Comfortable working near testing setups that may involve elevated noise levels, chemicals, or electromagnetic energy.
• Willingness to travel up to 10% for vendor visits, customer reviews, or off-site testing.
