About The Position

Sceye is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support the design, development, prototyping, and assembly of mechanical systems for our high-altitude platform technologies. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys designing parts in CAD, working directly with hardware, and seeing designs move from concept to physical assembly. The ideal candidate has strong mechanical aptitude and can confidently identify and work with common mechanical components, including brackets, fasteners, fittings, bearings, spacers, and structural hardware. This person will be comfortable creating designs in SolidWorks, assembling components from engineering drawings and bills of materials, and collaborating with manufacturing and test teams to improve designs.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
• Up to 3 years of relevant mechanical design experience; internships, co-ops, academic projects, and hands-on project experience may be considered.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks and experience creating 3D models and engineering drawings.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, assembly instructions, and bills of materials.
• Working knowledge of common mechanical hardware, fasteners, brackets, bearings, structural components, sheet-metal parts, and machined components.
• Hands-on experience assembling mechanical components and hardware.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and practical problem-solving skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Nice To Haves

• Experience performing finite element analysis (FEA), including SolidWorks Simulation or a similar tool.
• Experience with 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and prototype iteration.
• Familiarity with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Experience designing sheet-metal or machined components.
• Understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
• Experience with PLM, revision-control, or engineering change-management systems.
• Experience in aerospace, aviation, automotive, robotics, UAV, or high-tech manufacturing environments.

Responsibilities

• Design mechanical components, brackets, fixtures, and assemblies using SolidWorks.
• Create and revise detailed 3D CAD models, 2D engineering drawings, and supporting design documentation.
• Assemble mechanical components, prototypes, and production hardware from engineering drawings, bills of materials, and supplied parts.
• Identify and select appropriate mechanical hardware, including bolts, nuts, washers, inserts, bearings, spacers, fittings, and other standard components.
• Perform fit checks, tolerance reviews, and basic design validation to confirm parts assemble and function as intended.
• Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and test teams to improve manufacturability, assembly, and overall design performance.
• Support prototype builds, engineering changes, troubleshooting, and root-cause investigations.
• Maintain organized CAD files, drawing revisions, bills of materials, and related engineering documentation.
• Support system integration and testing activities involving aerospace hardware.
