• $90,000 a year 19 hours ago Benefits Travel reimbursement Qualifications Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering Machine design Bachelor of Science Programmable logic controllers Bachelor's degree Engineering product development Full Job Description About Hageneering We build custom machines for industries where the stakes are high and off-the-shelf doesn't cut it — theme parks, defense, and aerospace.

Since 2013, our small team of expert engineers and technicians has delivered 50+ projects across 10+ countries, from show-action systems for international theme parks to precision test stands for aerospace programs. We're not a job shop. We're a tight team of engineers who own their work from the first sketch to the last bolt torqued on-site in a foreign country. If that sounds like your kind of job, keep reading.

• The Role We're looking for a well-rounded Mechanical Engineer who can move fluidly between disciplines — controls, machine design, fluids, structural analysis — and between environments: the office, the shop floor, and project sites around the world.

This isn't a narrow role. On any given week you might be designing a machine in SolidWorks, reviewing a fabrication drawing in the shop, writing a controls spec, or commissioning equipment on-site abroad. The ideal candidate thrives in that variety, not just tolerates it.

• What You'll Do Design custom machines from concept through detailed engineering — mechanical, structural, and controls Develop control system architectures: motion control, pneumatics, PLCs, sensors, and actuators Perform structural analysis to validate designs meet load and safety requirements Collaborate with clients to capture requirements and present engineering solutions Support precision fabrication in our Torrance shop — reviewing parts, guiding assembly, solving build issues hands-on Travel to project sites worldwide to commission, install, and stand up the machines you've helped build Write clear documentation: design reports, assembly procedures, test plans, operating manuals•What We're Looking For Technical skills: Mechanical engineering degree (BS minimum; MS a plus) Strong machine design fundamentals — kinematics, mechanism design, tolerance analysis, GD&T Control systems experience: PLCs, motion controllers, sensor integration, ladderlogic or structured text Structural analysis skills — hand calcs and/or FEA (SolidWorks Simulation or equivalent) Proficiency in SolidWorks for 3D modeling, assemblies, and drawings Hands-on fabrication experience: comfortable reading weld drawings, working with machinists, using shop tools 2-8 years of relevant engineering experience Personality fit: Extreme Ownership (Jocko Willink) Calm under pressure and fast-changing site conditions Genuinely excited about designing and building machinery Eager to travel and see your work run in the real world Lifelong continuous learner Treats everyone with high level of respect regardless of age, race, religion, education, sexual orientation, political views, etc…•The Travel Reality A meaningful portion of this role — roughly 20-40% — involves international travel for installation and commissioning.

We've worked in Abu Dhabi, across Asia, Europe, and beyond. We cover all flights, hotels, and per diem. We won't sugarcoat it: site work is demanding. It's also one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

• Compensation & Benefits Competitive salary commensurate with experience Paid international travel (flights, hotels, per diem) Direct exposure to a wide range of industries and machine types Small team = real ownership and visible impact on every project Office snacks and drinks Team Lunch every week
