TL;DR

Staff Mechanical Design Engineer (Aerospace): Designing and developing complex mechanical and actuation systems for Seaglider vehicles and test platforms with an accent on mechanism architecture, kinematic systems, production-ready design, and hands-on validation. Focus on analyzing and integrating linkages, transmissions, motors, sensors, and control systems while driving root-cause investigations, DFMA, tolerance analysis, and scale-up from prototype to production.

Location: North Kingstown, Rhode Island, USA

Company

hirify.global is developing Seagliders, wing-in-ground-effect vehicles designed to provide fast, affordable, and sustainable regional transportation between coastal cities.

What you will do

Own the design and development of mechanical and actuation systems for hydrofoil retraction, control surfaces, and other motion-critical vehicle subsystems.
Define architectures for mechanisms involving linkages, gear trains, transmissions, motors, hinges, and integrated motion systems.
Design, build, and iterate on test assets, fixtures, rigs, and demonstrators for rapid validation.
Translate vehicle requirements into detailed designs while balancing performance, reliability, manufacturability, and safety.
Lead kinematic, dynamic, structural, hand-calculation, and FEA activities, including trade studies and root-cause investigations.
Collaborate with electrical, controls, avionics, software, and test engineers; establish mechanical design, DFMA, GD&T, tolerance-analysis, and system-integration practices.

Requirements

Proven experience designing complex mechanical systems with linkages, gear trains, transmissions, hinges, or similar kinematic mechanisms.
Deep knowledge of motors, gearboxes, servo motors, BLDC systems, and industrial motion control.
Advanced CAD proficiency, preferably NX, including large assemblies and production-ready components.
Strong engineering analysis skills covering kinematics, force and torque estimation, tolerance analysis, structural evaluation, and FEA.
Hands-on experience building, testing, and troubleshooting mechanical systems in laboratory or field environments.
Experience driving multidisciplinary projects from concept through validation and iteration, with knowledge of DFMA, GD&T, and tolerance stack-ups.

Nice to have

Experience mentoring engineers and establishing best practices for mechanical teams.
Experience in a fast-paced startup environment.

Culture & Benefits

Collaborative, cross-functional engineering environment focused on innovation and practical execution.
Competitive compensation with an equity incentive plan.
Health, dental, and vision insurance with 100% of premiums covered.
401(k) with company matching, flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holiday breaks.
Relocation packages are available for employees moving to join the team.
Free catered lunches and learning and professional development opportunities.
