Lead Systems Engineer

Employment Type:

Full-Time

At Heritage Civil Works, were not just building solutions, were modeling the future. As a global leader in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), physical modeling, and custom test hardware, we serve elite clients in aerospace, biotechnology, pollution control, and power generation.

We work on bold problems that require bold talent. And now, were looking to add a Mechanical Design Engineer to our remote team someone who thrives in a high-velocity engineering playground, where innovation is not just expected, but essential.

You'll join a remote-first, mission-driven engineering community designing mechanical systems and physical components for complex, high-performance applications. Think next-gen test rigs, flow simulators, precision parts, and hardware that shapes industries.

You'll collaborate across disciplines to design, test, and validate systems that may be used in wind tunnels, experimental chambers, or biomedical testing environments. Expect to own full design cycles, and to be part of something bigger our work literally powers and protects lives.

• Design innovative mechanical systems and components using Solid Works, AutoCAD, or similar platforms
• Participate in brainstorming, whiteboarding, and rapid concept development
• Generate 3D models, manufacturing drawings, and design documentation
• Collaborate with CFD engineers and R&D teams to align physical models with simulations
• Support fabrication teams with DFM (Design for Manufacturability) considerations
• Review and iterate on designs based on test feedback and client input
  
  Run FEA and thermal simulations to validate and improve designs
• Contribute to a culture of curiosity, knowledge-sharing, and just-get-it-done execution

We're seeking a creative problem solver with a mechanical engineers brain and a makers hands. You're excited to collaborate, share knowledge, and work independently all from your home workspace, coffee shop.

• BS or AS in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• Strong grasp of mechanical systems, design fundamentals, and fabrication principles
• Hands-on experience with physical prototyping or fabrication (3D printing, CNC, etc.)
• Proficiency in Solid Works, AutoCAD, or similar CAD software
• Clear, professional communication in English (verbal & written)
• A passion for tinkering, building, testing, and pushing limits

• CFD background or interest in fluid-related hardware design
• Experience working with aerospace, or clean energy systems
• Knowledge of additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping methods
• Experience designing for dynamic or high-pressure environments
• Scripting (Python/Java) for automation of design or testing workflows

Were engineers, scientists, dreamers, and builders. At Heritage Civil Works, you're not in it alone, we believe in radical collaboration, clear communication, and solving problems that matter. Well support your growth, challenge your limits, and celebrate your breakthroughs.
