Senior Mechanical Engineer

Neon Aero is building the next generation of high-performance hardware across aerospace, advanced mobility, robotics, and transportation. We are looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design, integration, and industrialization of complex mechanical and electromechanical systems, from early architecture through production release.

This is a hands‑on role for an engineer who enjoys solving challenging technical problems, working closely with hardware, and turning concepts into reliable, manufacturable products.

• Lead the design and integration of mechanical and electromechanical systems across multiple product domains.
• Own critical subsystems from concept development through production release.
• Develop robust designs in Siemens NX and drive engineering decisions through the full product lifecycle.
• Apply DFM, DFA, DFMA, and cost‑conscious design principles from the earliest stages of development.
• Create production‑ready drawings, specifications, and documentation using strong GD&T practices.
• Partner closely with manufacturing, suppliers, and quality teams to bring designs into production.
• Support prototype builds, testing, validation, root‑cause investigations, and design iterations.
• Perform engineering analyses including structural, thermal, and tolerance evaluations as required.
• Drive hardware through industrialization, first article builds, qualification, and production ramp.
• Participate directly in assembly, integration, and testing activities to ensure successful execution.

• 8+ years of experience developing and shipping mechanical products.
• Strong proficiency with Siemens NX.
• Deep understanding of GD&T and production drawing release processes.
• Proven experience taking hardware from concept through manufacturing and production.
• Experience with mechanical and electromechanical assemblies in demanding product development environments.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, tolerance stack‑ups, inspection methodologies, and quality metrics.
• Ability to work effectively across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and supplier teams.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field preferred.

If you enjoy building products that make it into the real world, we’d love to hear from you.
