Mechanical Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end hardware development for AERO mobile solution, from conceptual design through production and in-service operation
• Interact with various stakeholders to ensure project alignment and success
• Own design, hardware verification, and qualification testing
• Support production ramp-up and field deployment activities
• Define design criteria, collaborate cross-functionally to refine requirements, and drive system-level optimization
• Rapidly develop and refine design solutions to support system trade studies and influence overall product direction
• Lead design reviews and partner with internal certification team to qualify components and systems
• Develop detailed production drawings using GD&T, conduct tolerance stack-up analyses, and ensure manufacturability and performance
• Drive design for manufacturability (DFM) by simplifying designs, reducing parts, and implementing error-proofing strategies
• Establish and optimize the product lifecycle from supply chain through final integration, balancing cost, quality, and complexity
• Collaborate with cross-functional partners to design and implement efficient in-house production capabilities
• Plan and execute environmental and performance testing to validate designs and ensure compliance with requirements
• Own product delivery timelines across all phases—concept, design, build, and service—while continuously improving reliability and performance

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related technical field
• 6+ years of experience with mechanical/electromechanical design, analysis, testing, and/or manufacturing
• Strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles, including statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and materials
• Proven experience in hardware design and development for complex systems, preferably in aerospace or high-reliability environments
• Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) and engineering analysis methods including FEA and CFD
• Experience performing hand calculations and validating designs through analytical and simulation approaches
• Knowledge of electronic board assembly design, including mechanical integration, mounting strategies, and thermal management
• Working knowledge of electronics design across chip-level, package-level, and board-level integration
• Deep understanding of GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis for production-ready designs
• Knowledge of DFM and DFA principles
• Familiarity with FAA certification processes and regulatory standards (e.g., DO-160, FARs)
• Experience conducting environmental and performance testing, including validation and verification methods
• Strong problem-solving skills in fast-paced, iterative development environments
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills for multidisciplinary team work
• Able to manage multiple priorities and product development timelines
• Attention to detail with a focus on reliability, performance, and continuous improvement
• Experience with aircraft systems or avionics hardware integration
• Familiarity with RF, EMI/EMC considerations in hardware design
• Experience supporting high-rate production environments or in-house manufacturing lines
• Knowledge of supply chain, production processes, and lifecycle management
• Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
