Senior Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer

This full-time Mechanical Engineer role is an on‑site position based in Las Vegas, NV, focused on the design, development, and testing of mechanical systems for advanced electro‑optical products. You will collaborate closely with Electrical, Optical, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams to translate innovative concepts into robust, production‑ready designs. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to cutting‑edge space‑related technologies while working in a supportive and growth‑oriented environment.

• Design and develop mechanical components and systems for advanced electro‑optical products, ensuring performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Perform structural, thermal, and dynamic analyses using finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to validate and optimize designs.
• Create detailed 3D models and 2D engineering drawings using Solid Works and AutoCAD, adhering to industry standards and internal design practices.
• Support system integration and testing of mechanical and electro‑optical assemblies, working closely with cross‑functional engineering teams.
• Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to ensure designs are optimized for machining, additive manufacturing, and other production methods.
• Contribute to prototype builds, design reviews, and iterative development cycles, incorporating feedback and test data into continuous design improvements.
• Apply opto‑mechanical design principles to support the integration of optical and mechanical components where required.
• Document design decisions, analysis results, and test outcomes to support traceability and future design enhancements.

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, with at least 3 years of relevant experience.
• Strong experience with FEA, CFD, and simulation tools for mechanical analysis, with demonstrated capability at an 8/10 proficiency level.
• Proficiency in Solid Works at a 7/10 level, including 3D modeling and preparation of detailed engineering drawings.
• At least 3 years of experience in thermal design and thermal analysis for mechanical systems.
• At least 3 years of experience in dynamic analysis of mechanical structures and systems.
• Recent (within the past one to two years) experience designing for machining, additive manufacturing, or other production methods.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD at a 7/10 level for creating and modifying 2D drawings and layouts.
• Hands‑on experience with mechanical design, including structural, thermal, and dynamic considerations.
• Experience using FEA tools for structural and dynamic analysis and CFD software for thermal and fluid flow analysis.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams including Electrical, Optical, Firmware, and Manufacturing engineering.

• Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field is a plus.
• Experience with electro‑optical systems is highly desirable.
• Experience in military or aerospace research and development projects is a strong plus.
• Experience with opto‑mechanical design and integration of optical components into mechanical assemblies is beneficial.
• Interest in working on innovative space‑related technologies and products.
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to apply simulation results to practical design decisions.
• Ability to participate in and contribute to design reviews, providing clear technical rationale and documentation.
• Motivation to pursue continued education and skill development, supported by tuition reimbursement opportunities.

This role is based on‑site in Las Vegas, NV, working five days per week from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. You will operate in a collaborative engineering environment that emphasizes innovation, growth, creativity, and well‑being. The team uses modern mechanical design and analysis tools, including Solid Works, AutoCAD, FEA software, and CFD tools, to support the development of advanced electro‑optical and space‑related technologies.
