About The Position

Lynntech is seeking a mechanical engineer to support development of technologies, prototypes, and products in the defense, aerospace, and medical domains. The role spans the product development lifecycle, from early-stage technology proof-of-concept through prototype development and testing to qualification of production-ready designs. The engineer contributes across mechanical engineering areas including fluid dynamics, heat transfer, materials, thermodynamics, machine design, controls, manufacturing, and CAD.

The engineer performs technical work on multidisciplinary project teams and may develop leadership skills through increasing technical responsibility, collaborating with customers and teammates, and participating in proposal development. Engineering work combines theoretical and experimental activities, including detailed prototype design and laboratory validation. Projects cover technologies at various stages, from breadboard proof-of-concepts to minimum viable products.

Career growth may include developing technical proficiency, building expertise in technology areas and proposal writing, providing strategic guidance through project leadership, and supervising or mentoring engineering personnel.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• Experience, knowledge, and background in core areas such as fluid dynamics, heat transfer, materials, thermodynamics, machine design, controls, manufacturing, and computer-aided design.
• Experience applying engineering principles to develop physical hardware.
• Creative, hands-on skills in designing, repairing, or improving mechanical or manufacturing devices or systems.
• Self-starter.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, multitasking, deadline-oriented environment.

Nice To Haves

• Master of Engineering or Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline, or a bachelor's degree with 2–6 years of relevant work experience.
• Ability to apply fundamental physics and engineering principles in a research and product development environment.
• Broad competency in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, materials, thermodynamics, machine design, controls, manufacturing, and CAD.
• Ability to understand both the overall application and its detailed engineering requirements.
• Ability to work autonomously while contributing to a team effort.
• Ability to prioritize and balance competing project demands and conflicting project requirements.
• Experience in mechanical design, prototyping, and drafting using parametric CAD software such as Creo, SolidWorks, or Inventor.
• Experience with finite element analysis to support engineering design work.
• Experience with computational fluid dynamics modeling and simulation to support design and analysis.
• Experience with electrical hardware, instrumentation, and control systems.
• Prior involvement in technical or proposal writing, project planning, or collaborative R&D activities.

Responsibilities

• Participate in concept generation and problem-solving brainstorming sessions.
• Support project proposals by communicating engineering approaches, test plans, and solutions to technical challenges.
• Design and develop mechanical, electromechanical, fluidic, and thermal prototype components, devices, systems, and test stands.
• Collaborate with fabricators and vendors to develop fabrication plans and specifications.
• Build, test, and troubleshoot prototypes and monitor results for opportunities to improve.
• Analyze empirical data and identify trends to make design recommendations.
• Formulate and execute strategies and plans for engineering portions of projects.
• Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to transition early-stage research concepts into engineered systems and products.
• Contribute to technical work, proposal development, project leadership, and mentoring or supervision as appropriate to career development.
