Remote; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Logoslabs is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to design and deliver aerospace-grade mechanical systems from concept through production. You will work hands-on in CAD, analysis, and testing, collaborating with cross-functional teams to build reliable, high-performance hardware.

The role requires a BS in Mechanical Engineering and 5–6 years of practical aerospace design experience. Proficiency in SolidWorks, NX, or CATIA is essential, with a strong grasp of GD&T, materials, and manufacturing

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited institution.
• 5-6 years of hands-on mechanical design experience in aerospace, ruggedized hardware, or related fields.
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software with ability to create detailed drawings and GD&T-compliant documentation.
• Strong foundation in material selection, structural design, and manufacturing processes.
• Experience performing engineering calculations (stress, thermal, tolerance stack-up, fatigue, FEA) to validate designs.

Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, and integrate mechanical systems and subsystems (avionics packaging, harnessing, structures).
• Own mechanical deliverables across the product lifecycle from concept to test, production, and field support.
• Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality to ensure buildability and reliability.
• Provide hands-on testing support and rapidly troubleshoot with design fixes under tight timelines.

Job description

Help design and deliver the mechanical systems that power advanced aerospace blue-sky platforms from concept to real-world operation. In this role, you will own hardware development across the full product lifecycle-working hands-on in CAD, analysis, and testing-while collaborating with cross-functional teams to build reliable, high-performance systems. Operating in a fast-paced environment, you'll turn complex challenges into practical solutions and play a key role in bringing mission-ready technology to life.

• Directly contribute to the design, analysis, and integration of mechanical systems and subsystems, including avionics packaging, harnessing and connector selection, and structures.

• Own mechanical engineering deliverables across the product lifecycle - from early concept and prototyping through test, production, and field support - with a bias toward execution and delivery.

• Partner closely with Engineering functions, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, and Quality to ensure designs are buildable, testable, and reliable in real-world environments.

• Provide hands-on technical support during testing, demos, and field operations; rapidly troubleshoot and implement design fixes under tight timelines.

Required qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, or closely related field from an accredited institution.

• 5-6 years of hands-on mechanical design experience in aerospace, ground support equipment, or related ruggedized hardware systems.

• Proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or similar) with demonstrated ability to create detailed drawings, assemblies, and GD&T-compliant documentation

• Strong foundation in structural design, material selection, and manufacturing processes.

• Experience performing engineering calculations (stress, thermal, tolerance stack-up, fatigue, FEA as applicable) to validate design integrity

• Cross-functional collaboration experience with Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Program Management.

Preferred qualifications:

• Root cause analysis and structured problem-solving capability to resolve mechanical failures.

• Familiarity with industry standards (ASME, ISO, ASTM, or industry-specific regulatory requirements).

• Familiarity with MIL-STD requirements and environmental qualification testing.

• Familiarity to power distribution, hydraulics, or aerospace support systems.

• Experience working with external suppliers or contract manufacturers.
