Mechanical Engineering Manager

Darwin Recruitment · California, United States · 4 wk ago
On-siteManagement$160k/yrFull-time

The Role

Build, lead and grow a team of mechanical engineers spanning structures, mechanisms and system-level integration.

Own technical direction and design reviews, balancing performance, manufacturability, cost and schedule.

Mentor and develop engineers across levels, building genuine team capability rather than just pushing output.

Partner closely with electrical, software and propulsion functions to keep mechanical design integrated across the full vehicle.

Drive design-for-manufacturing decisions to support fast iteration and production scaling.

Represent the mechanical function at design reviews and in front of leadership.

Experience of Interest

Proven track record managing or leading a mechanical engineering team, ideally within aerospace, defense or another fast-paced hardware environment.

Strong technical grounding in mechanical design - structures, mechanisms or systems integration on complex hardware.

Comfortable in a lean, high-ownership setting where speed and real decision-making are expected.

Genuine interest in developing engineers, not just managing headcount.

Location & Package

Based on-site in California.

Salary $160,000 - circa. $200,000 DOE, with full benefits and relocation package.
