About The Position

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in mechanical design, analysis, and manufacturing. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of materials, structural analysis, and design for manufacturing principles, with experience in the aerospace, automotive, or industrial sectors. This role involves conceptual design, analysis, prototyping, testing, manufacturing support, documentation, and mentorship of junior engineers. We are looking for individuals who can transition products from design to manufacturing at scale and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Requirements

7+ years of experience in mechanical engineering
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
Advanced proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks)
Deep understanding of allowables, materials (metallics and composites), boundary conditions, and margin associated with tools like FEA and CFD
Metallics - complex design using 4XXX, 4XX, A572, A36, steels as well as 2024, 6061 and 7075 aluminum
Composites - complex design with fiberglass and carbon fiber lamina and laminate
Bonding - complex design principles for injection and surface structural bonding
Fasteners - Detailed fastener analysis techniques for highly loaded slip-critical joint design
Fatigue and Ultimate - Complex design and verification methods at system-level (vehicle-level) for fatigue, stiffness, and ultimate strength driven design. Detailed understanding of margins and allowables required.
Substantial experience transitioning products from design into manufacturing at scale
Deep understanding of DFM, fabrication, and V&V testing to resolve tolerances and margins to requirements
Experience with aerospace or industrial standards and regulations (e.g., IEC, ASTM, ISO, ASME, SAE, FAA)
Experience collaborating directly with manufacturing groups and assessing cost-down opportunities
