Senior Mechanical Engineer – Electromechanical Systems We are seeking a hands-on Senior Mechanical Engineer to design and develop motors, actuators, gear-trains, and other high-reliability electromechanical products used in aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. This is a true product design role with cradle-to-grave engineering ownership. You will be involved in everything from initial mechanical design and analysis through prototyping, qualification, production release, troubleshooting, and sustaining engineering. The ideal candidate has direct experience designing electromechanical actuators, electric motors, gearboxes/geartrains, rotating equipment, or similar precision electromechanical products and understands how components such as gears, shafts, bearings, housings, seals, and mechanical interfaces work together as a complete system.
Requirements:- BS in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline 5+ years of recent mechanical product design experience involving electromechanical actuators, motors, geartrains, rotating equipment, or comparable high-reliability products
- Strong experience with geartrain/gearbox design, shafts, bearings, housings, and precision mechanical assemblies
- Strong knowledge of tolerance stack-up analysis, GD&T, material selection, and design for manufacturability
- Experience taking hardware from concept and detailed design through prototype, testing, qualification, and production
- Hands-on experience troubleshooting prototype and production hardware
- Experience performing or supporting structural/stress analysis
- Ability to work closely with manufacturing, electrical engineering, quality, test, suppliers, and customersU.S. Person required for export-control compliance
Nice-to-Haves:- Aerospace or defense product design experienceExperience designing electromechanical actuators or electric motor assemblies
- Experience with BLDC/DC/AC motors, servo systems, or motion-control products
- Experience with lubrication, sealing, FMEA, MTBF, and reliability analysisDO-160 and/or MIL-STD-810 qualification experienceExperience with Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Nastran, Ansys, Mathcad, or similar engineering tools
- Experience supporting environmental and qualification testing
Responsibilities:- Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for motors, actuators, geartrains, and related electromechanical products
- Develop 3D CAD models, detailed drawings, specifications, BOMs, and complete engineering drawing packages
- Design and evaluate gears, shafts, bearings, housings, interfaces, seals, and other precision mechanical components
- Perform tolerance stack-ups, structural/stress analysis, material and finish selection, and component selection
- Design for reliability, manufacturability, assembly, durability, and long-term product performance
- Work with electrical engineers to integrate motors, sensors, feedback devices, electronics, and mechanical packaging into complete electromechanical systems
- Support prototype builds, qualification and environmental testing, root-cause investigations, and design improvements
- Troubleshoot mechanical and electromechanical issues involving prototype and production hardware
- Support pilot builds, transition into manufacturing, sustaining engineering, and continuous product improvement
- Work directly with manufacturing, quality, test, suppliers, customers, and other engineering disciplines to resolve technical issues and advance designs
