Job summary

Volund Manufacturing, Inc. is seeking a hands-on mechanical engineer to own engine component designs from first sketch through released drawings and beyond into machining, assembly, and testing.

You will design parts that survive high temperatures, pressures, and speeds, and you’ll fix designs that are hard to make or fit. You will work with a shop and test team to rapidly turn concepts into hardware, learn from failures, and iterate based on data.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 3-7 years of mechanical design experience with ownership of parts or assemblies.
• Strong Siemens NX proficiency (modeling, assemblies, drawings).
• Experience designing for manufacturability and machining.
• Hands-on fabrication or assembly experience (shop time, personal builds, or equivalent).
• Demonstrated ability to take designs from concept through released drawings.
• Must be a U.S. person (U.S. citizen or permanent resident) due to export control (ITAR) requirements.

Responsibilities

• Design engine components and assemblies in Siemens NX, from concept layouts through detailed models and released drawings.
• Own the design process end-to-end: requirements, concept tradeoffs, detailed design, GD&T, and release into the PLM system.
• Design for how the part will actually be made and put together—machining, additive, welding, brazing, or whatever the process requires.
• Work with the shop and the test team to turn designs into real hardware quickly, then learn from what breaks or doesn’t fit.
• Iterate based on test data, manufacturing feedback, and assembly experience.
• Support light-off, characterization, and development testing by being in the loop on how your hardware actually behaves.
• Cross into adjacent disciplines (thermal, fluids, structures, materials) when the design needs it.
