At Intramotev, we are liberating tons of freight from congested highways, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing transportation efficiency. We are deploying self-propelled battery-electric railcars and vehicles to transform freight logistics and bring innovation to our rail network. Based in St. Louis, MO, we are committed to industrial revitalization and building a safer, cleaner rail industry. Find your future with us.

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to support the drivetrain program, translating drivetrain engineering direction into detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings for powertrain hardware — motor/gearbox interfaces, mounting solutions, enclosures, and axle and bogie integration hardware. You'll start by producing drawings that support the build of a drivetrain test stand, then take on detailed design ownership of drivetrain subsystem hardware within your first several months on the program.

This is a full-time, 100% in-office role based in St. Louis, MO. You'll work with in a team of 3–10 engineers and engage in occasional domestic travel for testing, integration, and demonstrations.

• CAD & Drawing Development:
  Author 3D CAD models for drivetrain components — motor/gearbox interfaces, mounting solutions, enclosures, and axle/bogie integration hardware — handed off by the drivetrain lead.
• Manufacturing & Assembly Drawings:
  Produce detailed manufacturing and assembly drawings, applying GD&T, for drivetrain components to support fabrication and build.
• Test Stand Support:
  Translate drivetrain test-stand requirements into fixture and bracket drawings.
• Fabrication & Build Support:
  Support fabrication and assembly of the test stand and troubleshoot fit-up issues during build.
• Subsystem Design Ownership:
  Take on detailed design ownership of drivetrain subsystem hardware — mounting solutions, brackets, enclosures, and interface hardware — under the drivetrain lead's technical direction, starting within your first several months on the program.
• Collaboration:
  
  Work closely with the drivetrain lead and the Mechanical Engineering Team Lead to clarify ambiguous or partially-specified requirements and keep drawings aligned to fabrication and assembly needs.

Base salary: $75,000 - $100,000 plus equity
