Job summary

LMK Recruiting Solutions represents an elite aerospace innovator seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design and integrate mechanical and electromechanical systems powering next-generation hardware.

This hands-on role spans production-intent hardware for aerospace, robotics, and advanced mobility platforms. You will own components from concept to validation to production release in a lab/production environment, applying DFx, GD&T, and manufacturing know-how to hit high-performance targets.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of hands-on experience developing mechanical products.
• Strong working knowledge of GD&T and drawing release practices.
• Familiarity with multiple manufacturing processes (sheet metal fabrication, die casting, high-precision machining, injection molding).
• Experience with mechanical analysis (FEA) and basic thermal/structural evaluations.
• Execution-oriented, hands-on lab/production environment mindset.

Responsibilities

• Design & Integration: contribute to mechanical system design and integration across multi-domain programs; own components/subassemblies from concept through production release.
• CAD & Documentation: design and develop mechanical/electromechanical assemblies using Siemens NX; create production-ready drawings with GD&T.
• DFx Implementation: apply DFM, DFA, and DFC principles throughout the design lifecycle to prepare hardware for high-rate scaling.
• Supply Chain & Manufacturing Support: collaborate with suppliers and internal manufacturing teams to support part bring-up and early production runs.
• Testing & Quality: support inspection planning, tolerance stack-up, and production validation; participate in prototype builds and root-cause investigations.
• Analysis: perform mechanical analysis including FEA, tolerance analysis, and basic thermal/structural evaluations.
