Mechanical Design Engineer II - Radar & Sensing Hardware

MatrixSpace; Burlington (MA); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

MatrixSpace is seeking a Mechanical Engineer II to design and develop mechanical components and electro-mechanical assemblies for radar and multi-sensor hardware. You will collaborate across disciplines to move concepts into production, with a strong emphasis on hands-on prototyping and robust documentation.

The role requires SolidWorks-based design, GD&T knowledge, and a practical approach to manufacturing and testing. Occasional travel to Hoffman Estates, Illinois may be required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 4–6 years of relevant mechanical design and hardware development experience.
• Experience using 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred) to create parts, assemblies, and drawings.
• Experience contributing to mechanical designs from concept through prototype fabrication and testing.
• Knowledge of mechanical tolerances, materials, fasteners, manufacturing processes, and assembly practices.
• Experience building and testing physical hardware in a product-development environment.
• Familiarity with machining, sheet metal fabrication, or other common manufacturing methods.
• Ability to document design decisions and collaborate with engineers and manufacturing partners.
• Experience applying GD&T and performing tolerance stackups per ASME Y14.5

Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical components and electro-mechanical assemblies using SolidWorks or similar CAD tools.
• Contribute throughout the product lifecycle from concept to production.
• Create and maintain 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing drawings.
• Apply materials, tolerances, fasteners, and manufacturing methods for reliable designs.
• Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback on performance, manufacturability, and serviceability.
• Build and test prototypes, evaluate results, and refine designs.
• Collaborate with suppliers and manufacturing partners to address fabrication questions and support production.
• Develop and maintain engineering documentation (BOMs, procedures, revisions).
• Support lab and field testing and customer demonstrations; travel to Hoffman Estates, IL as needed.
