Mechanical Engineer

Matrix Space delivers advanced AI-enabled portable C-UAS (counter drone) solutions that operate anywhere and can be rapidly moved. Its compact, ultra-low power radar systems provide persistent detection and classification for airspace, perimeter, and object monitoring in dynamic outdoor environments. Matrix Space’s ability to combine industry leading RF sensing, AI edge processing and RF communication in real-time is a major technology breakthrough with multiple vertical market applications.

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to create the mechanical solution of Matrix Space products, including mechanical and thermal design of radar products. This position will be part of a growing, innovative product development team.

• Develop end-to-end mechanical solutions for Matrix Space products, including PCB enclosures, heatsinks, electronics interfaces, mounting structures, and system assemblies.
• Own mechanical design from concept through production, including CAD, GD&T, tolerance stack-up analysis, and release of manufacturing drawings.
• Design components and assemblies to meet performance, environmental, reliability, safety, and robustness requirements.
• Apply DFM/DFA principles across manufacturing processes to ensure efficient, repeatable production.
• Create and maintain BOMs and mechanical documentation.
• Support prototype, pilot, and production builds, resolving build issues and driving design improvements.
• Execute mechanical verification and validation testing and author test reports.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, systems, manufacturing, and test teams.
• Contribute mechanical content to user manuals, installation guides, and work instructions.

• Experience delivering production-ready mechanical solutions for electronics products.
• Strong proficiency in Solid Works or similar 3D CAD software, including modeling and detailed drawing creation.
• Solid understanding of GD&T and hands‑on tolerance stack‑up analysis experience.
• Working knowledge of materials and design guidelines for machined parts, sheet metal, and plastics.
• Demonstrated application of DFM/DFA and structured problem‑solving.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience with FEA (structural and/or thermal) is a plus.

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME).
• 2+ years of relevant experience designing mechanical solutions for electronics products.
• This position requires working directly or indirectly with the US Government in restricted environments. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (Green Card holder).

• Work on cutting‑edge technology bridging embedded systems, cloud computing, and AI applications.
• Collaborate with world‑class engineers solving complex distributed systems challenges.
• High ownership, fast iteration, and opportunities to lead architecture and innovation initiatives.
• Competitive compensation, equity options, and a culture that values innovation and technical excellence.
