Senior Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to play a critical role in maturing our engineering practices and supporting the transition to scalable manufacturing. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in hands‑on environments and enjoys designing and building robust systems from the ground up. You will contribute both strategically and technically as a subject matter expert in mechanical engineering as we industrialize our manufacturing operations by performing engineering trades on manual vs automation.

This position will report to the VP of PM‑HIP Manufacturing and join a small engineering team focused on full‑service manufacturing of PM‑HIP components for a large and motivated customer base.

• Lead the development and implementation of engineering best practices at scale for a PM‑HIP manufacturing line.
• Apply expertise in metal forming and joinery techniques to support production processes.
• Design and develop vacuum systems, including component selection, integration, and performance validation.
• Drive design for reliability initiatives, including failure mode analysis and predictive failure strategies
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with manufacturing, quality, and operations teams to ensure seamless product transition to production
• Be a mentor and a coach while contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and technical excellence.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
• Minimum of 8 years of relevant experience in mechanical engineering, preferably in a manufacturing or industrial environment
• Candidates with fewer years of experience may be considered if they bring deep expertise in vacuum system design or metal forming, fabrication, and mechanical joinery techniques
