About The Position

E-Space is hiring a Senior Mechanical Systems Designer for its Manufacturing team. The role involves designing mechanical systems for automated production lines, including fixtures, frames, motion assemblies, and other hardware that connects automation systems. The designer will work hands-on in SolidWorks with a Staff designer and the broader manufacturing team, owning subsystems end-to-end and taking them from concept through qualified production hardware. The position reports to the Manufacturing Engineering leadership team and is based at E-Space’s Arlington, Texas facility. The role supports the design and manufacture of advanced aerospace products at high rates and high precision. It requires collaboration with controls, robotics, and process engineers, as well as support for fabrication, assembly, and testing. Extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals.

Requirements

5+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience in machinery, automation, or aerospace hardware.
Strong SolidWorks skills, including assemblies, detailed parts, and drawings.
Strong understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and design for manufacturability.
Experience taking designs through fabrication, assembly, and testing.
Ability to work across disciplines in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
BS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.

Nice To Haves

Exposure to end-effector / EOAT design.
Experience with ABB or Fanuc robotic integration.
Background in aerospace, semiconductor, or thin-film manufacturing.

Responsibilities

Design mechanical systems and subsystems for automated manufacturing equipment in SolidWorks, including parts, assemblies, and production drawings.
Develop fixtures, frames, motion stages, and machine structures that meet performance, precision, and cost targets.
Apply GD&T and tolerance analysis to support manufacturability and reliable assembly.
Collaborate with controls, robotics, and process engineers to integrate automation hardware.
Create build documentation and support fabrication, assembly, and testing of designs.
Iterate designs from 3D-printed and machined prototypes to production-ready hardware.
Specify mechanical components and interface with vendors.
