Job description

Mechanical Engineer - Aerospace Electromechanical Design

Summary

We’re partnering with an established aerospace manufacturer to find a Mechanical Engineer for their engineering team. This is a mid-level/senior role for someone who wants to own designs from concept through production. You’ll be the technical point of contact on your projects, and you’ll see your work go into real aircraft systems.

What you’ll do

• Review customer technical requirements and turn them into mechanical and electromechanical designs
• Work closely with electrical and software engineers to develop the full system design
• Build 3D models and detail, assembly, and top-level drawings in SolidWorks
• Do the engineering calculations behind your design decisions
• Build working prototypes for beta testing and customer demos
• Support design reviews and make sure the design meets internal standards and customer requirements
• Support production during product builds, and work with suppliers on part selection
• Keep your projects on schedule and on budget
• Guide and train other engineers on project work as needed

What you bring

• BSME, or an equivalent mix of education and experience
• 3+ years of mechanical design experience. Aircraft cabin or similar systems experience is a strong plus
• Strong SolidWorks skills across sheet metal, machined parts, injection-molded parts, and part design
• Ability to read prints and manufacturing documentation
• A track record of taking projects from concept to completion
• Clear written and verbal communication, including presenting to managers and customers
• Self-motivated, a good teammate, and someone who enjoys solving design, debug, and test problems

Why this role

You’ll work in a small, collaborative engineering group with real ownership. You’ll see your designs move from CAD to prototype to production.
