What you will do

• Design mechanical components and electro-mechanical assemblies using SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD tools.
• Develop products from concept and detailed design through fabrication, integration, testing, and production.
• Create and maintain 3D models, assemblies, manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, assembly procedures, and build instructions.
• Apply materials, tolerances, fasteners, manufacturing methods, GD&T, and tolerance stackups to create practical and reliable designs.
• Build and test prototypes, troubleshoot mechanical and system-integration issues, and refine designs based on test results.
• Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, firmware, and systems engineers, suppliers, and manufacturing partners during production transition and field deployments.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4–6 years of professional experience in mechanical design and hardware development.
• Experience with 3D CAD, preferably SolidWorks, including parts, assemblies, and mechanical drawings.
• Experience taking mechanical designs from concept development through prototype fabrication and testing.
• Knowledge of mechanical tolerances, materials, fasteners, manufacturing processes, assembly practices, machining, and sheet metal fabrication.
• Experience with physical hardware testing and troubleshooting, technical documentation, GD&T, and tolerance stackups according to ASME Y14.5. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship and may need to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting production builds or resolving manufacturing issues with suppliers or contract manufacturers.
• Experience with ruggedized electronics, radar, sensing systems, or integrated electro-mechanical products.
• Experience with thermal, structural, shock, or vibration analysis and testing.
• Familiarity with 3D printing, rapid prototyping, wiring, soldering, and diagnostic tools.

Culture & Benefits

• Hands-on individual contributor work with physical hardware and real-world product deployments.
• Cross-functional collaboration across mechanical, electrical, firmware, and systems engineering.
• Opportunity to work across the full product lifecycle, from early concepts through production and field use.
• Limited travel may be required for lab testing, customer demonstrations, and field deployments.
