About The Position

Mach Industries is seeking a new graduate Mechanical Engineer to design, prototype, test, and refine mechanical and electromechanical systems for next-generation defense platforms. This hands-on role contributes to the development of innovative, manufacturable hardware, optimizing designs for performance and scalable production. The engineer will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team and support development from concept through deployment and mass production.

Requirements

• At least 1 year of mechanical engineering experience focused on designing and prototyping mechanical systems; experience may be professional, hobby, or academic.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Graduating with a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, or PhD by summer 2027.
• Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
• Meet U.S. export-control eligibility requirements: be a U.S. citizen or national, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee, or be eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Nice To Haves

• Intermediate skills in 3D modeling and CAD tools such as NX or SolidWorks.

• Familiarity with lightweight materials, composites, or additive manufacturing techniques.
• Experience with FEA or multiphysics software packages.
• Knowledge of aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, or thermal management as applied to mechanical systems.

Responsibilities

• Own mechanical design and development of subsystem-level hardware, from early CAD concepts and functional prototypes through mass production.
• Integrate mechanical systems with sensors, actuators, and embedded control hardware.
• Lead hands-on testing, validate designs, and iterate hardware based on performance feedback.
• Drive manufacturability, part selection, and tolerance stack-up decisions for scalable production.
• Apply mechanical fundamentals, including thermal, structural, and materials considerations, to develop robust, lightweight designs.
• Contribute to test plans, technical documentation, and engineering reviews.
• Perform analytical modeling and simulation to evaluate mechanical system performance, guide design decisions, and inform trade studies.
• Support critical project milestones, including working extended hours or weekends.

Benefits

• Performance-based bonus incentives tied to individual and company performance.
• Stock options or equity participation.
• Healthcare, dental, and vision plans.
