  • 2+ years of professional mechanical design experience taking physical hardware from initial concept through fabrication and functional test
  • Proficiency in parametric 3D CAD (NX, SolidWorks, or Creo) and modern PLM/PDM environments (e.g., Teamcenter)
  • Working knowledge of engineering drawings and practical application of ASME Y14.5 GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis
  • Hands-on prototyping and fabrication experience, including root-cause analysis of manufacturing and hardware defects
  • Coursework or professional experience applying statics, dynamics, material selection, heat transfer, and structural mechanics to hardware design problems

Nice to have

  • Master's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
  • Prior experience in defense, aerospace, or other highly regulated hardware development environments
  • Proficiency with FEA tools (Abaqus, ANSYS, or equivalent) for structural, thermal, or dynamic analysis
  • Experience with naval ordnance, warheads, energetic materials, DoD weapons safety boards, high-rate dynamic modeling, or live-fire arena testing
  • Experience designing tightly integrated electromechanical systems (dense PCBA packaging, active/passive thermal management, RF/EMI shielding, harness routing)

What you get

  • Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees
  • Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers

Worth weighing
