Senior Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer
A fast-growing engineering organization is seeking a highly motivated Mechanical Engineer to support the design, development, and integration of critical mechanical systems for an advanced hardware product. This role involves hands-on mechanical design and analysis of complex systems operating in demanding environments. The ideal candidate has a strong first-principles understanding of structures, materials, fluids, and thermodynamics, and enjoys taking designs from concept through testing and production.

Hands-on engineering experience through internships, co-op programs, research projects, or team-based design competitions (e.g., SAE, ASME, Formula SAE) is a strong advantage.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and test mechanical components and systems supporting power generation and thermal management platforms.
• Develop detailed mechanical designs for components and assemblies, including structural elements, housings, rotating or moving parts, and mechanical interfaces.
• Perform static and dynamic structural analyses using hand calculations and FEA tools (ANSYS, Abaqus, or equivalent) to evaluate stress, deformation, and fatigue life.
• Generate technical reports, design documentation, and presentation materials to support internal design reviews.
• Support the assembly, integration, and testing of prototype, first-article, and production hardware.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in mechanical design and analysis of hardware or mechanical systems.
• Proficiency with CAD and FEA tools (e.g., SolidWorks, ANSYS, Abaqus), including working knowledge of GD&T.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to clearly communicate technical concepts.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with power, energy, or industrial systems.
• Knowledge of material selection for high-temperature, high-load, or harsh operating environments.
• Hands-on experience with mechanical testing, instrumentation, or experimental validation.
• Exposure to structures, mechanisms, heat
