Mechanical Design Engineer (Relocation Assistance Available)
About The Position
A well-established engineering organization is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join its multidisciplinary team. The company focuses on the development and integration of advanced hardware and thermal-power systems across highly regulated industries. Position Overview The Mechanical Design Engineer will be responsible for detailed mechanical design, packaging, and integration of complex power and thermal systems. The role involves creating 3D CAD models and production drawings, supporting hardware integration, and collaborating across disciplines including thermal, controls, and systems engineering.
Requirements
- Bachelorâs degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
- 5+ years of mechanical design experience in aerospace, defense, energy, or similarly regulated industries
- Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (NX, Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks)
- Strong knowledge of GD&T and industry drawing standards
- Experience with:
- Rotating machinery and power systems
- Pressure vessels, boilers, and heat exchangers
- Piping systems, P&IDs, and process flow diagrams
- Ability to collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams
Nice To Haves
- Experience in aerospace, advanced energy, or power systems
- Knowledge of metal additive manufacturing and design-for-AM principles
- Familiarity with ASME BPVC, aerospace structural standards, or high-reliability design practices
- Experience designing for extreme operating environments (high temperature, vacuum, radiation, or long-life systems)
Responsibilities
- Perform clean sheet mechanical design of power system hardware, including:
- Structural components and system packaging
- Piping, manifolds, and process flow layouts
- Pressure vessels, recuperators, and heat exchangers
- Develop and maintain high-quality 3D CAD models and production drawings, applying GD&T according to aerospace or industry standards
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams for integration with thermal systems, controls, and instrumentation
- Design rotating equipment and power-generation components, including pumps, turbines, compressors, and auxiliary drives
- Assist with vendor technical coordination, including specification preparation, component selection, and review of vendor drawings
- Apply additive manufacturing techniques where applicable, particularly for complex geometries and thermal-structural components
- Support material selection considering strength, fatigue, creep, corrosion, and manufacturability
- Perform basic to intermediate stress and thermal-mechanical analyses to support design decisions
- Support hardware build, testing, and iterative design improvements
- Develop specifications and standard work requirements aligned with system objectives
