Job summary

Volund Manufacturing, Inc. in Huntington Beach, CA, is seeking a Mechanical Engineer who owns engine component designs from sketch to released drawings and beyond into machining and testing.

You will design compressor, turbine, combustor, housings, and related hardware, ensuring they survive real temperatures, pressures, and speeds, with manufacturability in mind. You will release designs into the PLM and collaborate with shop and test teams to iterate quickly.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or equivalent experience).
• 3–7 years of mechanical design experience, with meaningful 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
