4d•$103,360 - $147,535

About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer III – Test role supports testing, design, analysis, drafting/modeling, systems engineering, and project management for complex mechanical and aerospace systems. The role requires advanced capability in component and subsystem integration, data acquisition and analysis, measurement instrument operation and calibration, and development of comprehensive test plans, including risk assessments and resource allocation. The engineer communicates complex technical information through presentations, reports, and user manuals; contributes to mechanical and propulsion-system design; and creates precise CAD models, assemblies, and technical drawings. The position also involves simulation and analysis across structural, dynamic, thermal, and tolerance domains, as well as requirements analysis, risk management, planning, procurement, vendor evaluation, and schedule management. The position requires 4–6 years of mechanical engineering experience and a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline, though equivalent experience may be considered in lieu of a degree. Travel is approximately 10%. The employee must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance at the appropriate level, which requires U.S. citizenship. Applicants must also meet applicable U.S. export-control requirements. Voyager offers a comprehensive compensation package that includes a discretionary annual bonus plan, paid time off, health benefits, retirement savings, a wellness program, and other benefits. The Nevada base salary range is $103,360–$147,535 USD.
