Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (Onsite)

About the role

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer will lead mechanical design efforts from concept through production release, creating 3D models, assemblies, and engineering documentation to support both legacy programs and new product development.

Responsibilities

• Lead mechanical design activities from concept through production release, including requirements development, detailed design, analysis, testing, and documentation.
• Create 3D models, assemblies, drawings, and specifications using CAD tools (e.g., CATIA V5).
• Conduct engineering analysis (tolerance stack-ups & material selection) to validate design robustness.
• Support product integration and qualification testing, including test planning and data review.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams such as stress, manufacturing, tooling, supply chain, quality, operations and program management teams.
• Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and contribute to peer design reviews.
• Drive root cause investigations and implement corrective actions for design-related issues.
• Ensure designs comply with company standards, customer specifications, and industry regulations.
• Support cost, schedule, and risk management activities throughout the project lifecycle.

Requirements

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience.
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical or aerospace design engineering, preferably in propulsion systems or nacelles.
• Experience with 3D CAD tools (CATIA V5/V6 preferred; SolidWorks or NX acceptable) and understanding of manufacturing processes.
• Experience with GD&T practices, tolerance stack-ups, root cause analysis, design for manufacturability principles, and relevant aerospace industry standards.
• Experience with engineering fundamentals (mechanics, materials, kinematics, manufacturing processes).
• Experience with PLM systems (Teamcenter, Enovia, etc.).
• Experience with structural principles, materials behavior, and certification requirements.

Qualifications

• Strong communication and collaboration capabilities.
• Highly organized with strong problem-solving and decision-making skills.
• Self-driven, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities.
• Ability to lead technical work with minimal oversight and communicate effectively across teams.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Three weeks of vacation for newly hired employees
• A generous 401(k) plan that includes employer matching funds and separate employer retirement contribution, including a Lifetime Income Strategy option
• Tuition reimbursement program
• Student Loan Repayment Program
• Life insurance and disability coverage
• Optional coverages you can buy (pet insurance, home and auto insurance, additional life and accident insurance, critical illness insurance, group legal, ID theft protection)
• Bright Horizons, child and elder care services
• Teladoc Medical Experts, second opinion program
