Job Description

Position Overview

We are hiring a Mechanical Design Engineer to support early-stage product development and R&D design. This role is primarily focused on designing parts and assemblies for real-world manufacturing, producing production-quality detailing, and using FEA as a concept-validation tool to guide design decisions before formal stress review.

You will own design concepts, iterate solutions, apply strong GD&T, and collaborate with manufacturing to ensure designs are practical, buildable, and robust.
