About the role

We’re seeking Mechanical Engineers to join an established engineering organization developing highly engineered mechanical systems for demanding aerospace and advanced technology applications. This is an opportunity to work on complex, performance-critical products where mechanical design, fluid dynamics, structural analysis, materials, testing, and manufacturing all come together. Multiple openings are available, with flexibility to hire at the Mechanical Engineer II, III, or IV level based on experience and technical depth. Responsibilities may include: Design and development of complex mechanical and fluid-system components and assemblies Translating customer and system-level requirements into practical engineering solutions Performing engineering analysis involving fluid dynamics, stress and strain, vibration, statics and dynamics, and strength of materials Creating and evaluating 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, tolerance stack-ups, and GD&TPerforming finite element analysis (FEA) to support design decisions and product validation Selecting materials, coatings, and heat treatments based on performance and application requirements Developing test plans and using experimental results to validate designs Supporting root-cause investigations and corrective actions for technical issues Partnering with manufacturing, quality, supply chain, program management, and other engineering disciplines Balancing performance, reliability, producibility, quality, schedule, and cost Preparing technical documentation, reports, analyses, and design presentations Participating in continuous-improvement initiatives and cross-functional engineering teams Providing technical guidance and mentorship as experience level increases Key areas of experience include:3+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience Mechanical component and system design Fluid dynamics Statics and dynamics Stress and strain analysis Strength of materials Vibration Metallurgy and material selection Coatings and heat treatments Engineering drawings and tolerance stack-ups Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T)Finite Element Analysis (FEA); ANSYS experience is highly desirable 3D CAD; Creo experience is highly desirable Ability to work through technically complex problems with limited supervision

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
