Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking a hands-on, innovative Mechanical Engineer to contribute to all phases of engine development—from concept and design through testing and iteration. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role requiring strong mechanical design skills, analytical thinking, and a passion for solving complex technical challenges.

• Design, analyze, and develop engine components, subsystems, and custom test rigs
• Use Solid Works for 3D CAD modeling and drafting of engine parts and assemblies
• Conduct engineering analysis using hand calculations, MATLAB, custom code, and commercial simulation tools such as GT-Suite
• Support prototype fabrication by working with in-house machinists and external vendors
• Participate in the operation and testing of rotary engines on dynamo meters and data acquisition systems
• Assemble and disassemble prototype engines; perform part inspections and document build details
• Troubleshoot and debug mechanical systems through hands-on work and root-cause analysis
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, technicians, and contractors to execute test and design projects
• Present design proposals and test data clearly through reports, presentations, and team meetings
• Follow engineering best practices, documentation standards, and project management processes
• Stay current with advancements in rotary engines, diesel combustion, thermodynamics, and related technologies

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field
• Proficiency in CAD design;
  Solid Works preferred
• Familiarity with MATLAB and mechanical system modeling/analysis
• Strong understanding of mechanical fundamentals, including thermodynamics, kinematics, and stress analysis
• Hands-on experience with mechanical systems, including building, testing, or prototyping
• Strong problem-solving skills, self-direction, and attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment

• Experience with internal combustion engines, particularly rotary or diesel platforms
• Familiarity with GT-Suite or other engine simulation tools
• Exposure to DAQ systems and test instrumentation
• Experience managing prototype builds or working closely with machinists

This is a fully onsite position requiring hands-on involvement with mechanical systems, prototype development, testing, fabrication, and troubleshooting.
