Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer - Power Systems (Defense Technology)We are a defense technology company developing advanced power systems that enable sustained, distributed energy capability for mission-critical military operations. Our products are designed to support next-generation defense platforms by decoupling power generation from consumption, improving survivability, mobility, and operational effectiveness in austere environments.Our engineering team builds highly integrated mechanical, electrical, and thermal systems that must perform reliably under extreme conditions and meet stringent military performance, endurance, and reliability requirements.The RoleWe are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our Powertrain Engineering team. In this role, you will design, develop, and test complex mechanical and electromechanical systems, including tightly integrated power and energy subsystems for defense applications.You will take ownership of hardware from early concept through prototyping, testing, production, and field deployment, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust, manufacturable, and mission-ready systems.What You'll DoOwn mechanical and electromechanical hardware design from concept through prototype, production, and field deploymentDesign tightly integrated systems including energy storage, power electronics, thermal systems, structural enclosures, and high-density packaging solutionsDevelop 3D CAD models and production-ready 2D drawings with GD&T and industry standards compliancePerform structural, thermal, and mechanical analysis using first principles, hand calculations, and CAE/FEA toolsRapidly prototype, test, debug, and iterate designs under compressed development timelinesDesign for high-volume and defense-grade manufacturing including machining, sheet metal, casting, composites, and PCB integrationWork closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners to ensure feasibility, quality, and reliability of designsSupport system integration, test campaigns, and root cause analysis of hardware failuresEngage directly with customers during demonstrations and field evaluations to better understand mission requirementsTranslate test and field data into actionable design improvementsRequired QualificationsBachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience2+ years of experience in mechanical or electromechanical system design in professional or research environmentsExperience owning or significantly contributing to end-to-end hardware development programsStrong proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks or equivalent) and production drawing creation with GD&TExperience with CAE/FEA tools and strong engineering fundamentals in structures, thermal systems, mechanics, and materialsHands-on prototyping and fabrication experience including machining, shop tools, and rapid prototyping methodsFamiliarity with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, sheet metal, casting, forging, or compositesExposure to MIL-STD, DO-160, or similar aerospace/defense standardsPreferred QualificationsExperience with high-voltage or high-power electromechanical systemsBackground in energy storage systems, battery thermal management, or power electronics integrationExperience with MATLAB/Simulink or similar modeling toolsFamiliarity with simulation and CAE tools such as ANSYS, Abaqus, COMSOL, or STAR-CCM+Experience with instrumentation and data acquisition tools (LabVIEW, DAQ systems, Python, CAN tools)Experience with PLM and engineering collaboration tools (JIRA, Confluence, Teamcenter, etc.)Experience integrating sensors and performing data analysis/processing for engineering validationBackground in aerospace, automotive, robotics, or other high-reliability hardware environmentsEligible to US Citizen or Green Card Holder only
