Position Overview We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to design, build, test, and deliver mechanical systems that perform reliably in real-world conditions. This role involves full lifecycle ownership of hardware, from early prototypes to production-ready systems. The engineer will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure mechanical components meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements. Key Responsibilities Component & System Design Design mechanical components and assemblies with full lifecycle responsibility Perform calculations, tolerance analysis, GD&T, and technical drawings Ensure designs integrate properly with broader systems and load conditions Mechanisms Design and integrate mechanisms such as linkages, gears, motors, actuators, and structural assemblies Prototyping & Fabrication Rapidly prototype components using internal tools or external vendors Manage the cycle from CAD → fabrication → installation → iteration Testing & Validation Conduct real-world testing to validate mechanical performance Identify failure modes, analyze performance data, and implement improvements Design for Manufacturability Develop designs that can scale to production Work directly with manufacturing teams and vendors to ensure precision and repeatability Procurement & Build Support Source materials, components, and vendors Solve supply challenges to maintain build momentum Required Skills & Experience Strong hands-on mechanical design experience CAD proficiency and understanding of GD&T Ability to work independently in fast-moving engineering environments Strong problem-solving ability and accountability Preferred Experience Aerospace, UAV, or high-performance mechanical systems Additive manufacturing or rapid prototyping Designing hardware for production environments
