Senior Design Engineer, Engine Assembly

Beehive Industries•Loveland, OH

1d•$130,000 - $153,000

About The Position

The Senior Design Engineer owns the overall engine CAD assembly definition, including assembly structure, cross-sectional views, Bills of Materials (BOMs), and supporting hardware across multiple engine configurations. The role ensures accurate product definition and seamless integration to support manufacturing, assembly, and testing. The engineer independently executes complex work, drives technical solutions across cross-functional teams, and applies expertise in additive manufacturing, parametric modeling, and mechanical design to deliver high-quality products that meet program, manufacturing, and customer requirements. The position leads design, analysis, and evaluation of turbomachinery components and assemblies; creates and maintains complex CAD models, drawings, tolerance stack-ups, and engineering documentation; and verifies interfaces, clearances, manufacturability, and design completeness. The engineer collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, test, systems, performance, controls, and integration teams, leads design reviews, applies GD&T and DfAM practices, communicates progress and risks to stakeholders, and mentors junior engineers. The role requires a relevant bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, along with relevant engineering experience and the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance. U.S. citizenship is required. The listed base salary range is $130,000–$153,000. Beehive Industries offers medical, dental, life, and short- and long-term disability coverage, a 401(k) plan with company match, bonus eligibility, and company equity.
