Mechanical Integration Engineer

LED FastStart•New Orleans, LA

About The Position

We are seeking a Mechanical Integration Engineer to join our multidisciplinary engineering team. This role is focused on the integration of complex subsystems within larger mechanical assemblies. You will work at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, optical, and sensing systems— ensuring cohesive, manufacturable, and reliable integration into the overall platform. Your work will involve everything from packaging sensitive electronics and routing cabling to designing payload interfaces, access panels, and mounting hardware. This is a critical role that connects disciplines, closes gaps between component and system-level thinking, and ensures functional harmony across subsystems.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or greater in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
2+ years of experience integrating complex mechanical and electrical systems
Demonstrated expertise in system-level integration and packaging of electronics, sensors, or similar subsystems
Proficient in 3D CAD (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, or similar) and mechanical documentation practices
Familiarity with EMI/thermal considerations and their mechanical implications
Strong collaboration and communication skills across disciplines (electrical, software, manufacturing)

Nice To Haves

Experience with fast-paced prototyping environments or low-rate production is a plus
Working or expert knowledge of GD&T a plus

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and integrate mechanical solutions for electronics packaging, optical systems sensor mounts, payloads, and cabling infrastructure
Own the mechanical interface and installation approach for subsystems and components into the larger vehicle or product assembly
Drive layout of bulkheads, hatches, brackets, and access features, ensuring manufacturability, serviceability, and reliability
Manage cable routing and support mechanical considerations for harness design in close coordination with electrical engineering
Support system-level design reviews, integration planning, and cross-functional design efforts
Create detailed design documentation including GD&T, stack-ups, assembly drawings, and integration procedures
Provide tolerance studies, participate in environmental and vibration testing, and resolve integration-related design issues
Contribute to prototype build support and hands-on problem solving during integration and test phases
