Mechanical Engineer

Job Description:

This role focuses on developing high-quality 3D and 2D mechanical designs and related analyses for flight-critical avionics systems and robotics-related packaging solutions. The Mechanical Engineer II combines strong technical and analytical capabilities with the ability to deliver accurate work quickly and effectively, supporting both prototype and production-level designs. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to an industry-leading robotics team while ensuring that mechanical assemblies and packaging designs meet performance, reliability, and compliance requirements.

Responsibilities:

* Develop detailed 3D and 2D mechanical designs for flight-critical avionics systems, ensuring robust, reliable, and manufacturable solutions.

* Create mechanical assemblies for electronic systems, including structural components, mounting solutions, and enclosures that support both prototype and production builds.

* Perform mechanical design analyses such as mechanical stack-up evaluation and structural load considerations to verify design integrity and performance.

* Support rapid prototype tooling activities by translating design concepts into prototype-ready models and drawings for quick iteration and testing.

* Develop and refine production tooling designs that support efficient, repeatable manufacturing of mechanical and packaging components.

* Draft and maintain technical documentation, including drawings, specifications, and design reports, to support engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams.

* Use mechanical CAD software to model parts and assemblies, create 2D drawings, and ensure alignment with engineering standards and best practices.

* Design and refine packaging solutions that protect products during handling, transportation, and storage, ensuring compliance with relevant test protocols and standards.

* Review, write, and implement packaging standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work instructions (WIs) to ensure consistent execution and quality.

* Apply knowledge of packaging base materials and systems to optimize designs for performance, cost, sustainability, and manufacturability.

* Collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet new product introduction (NPI) program milestones and schedules, ensuring timely delivery of design outputs.

* Contribute to project management activities, including planning, tracking, and reporting on design tasks and deliverables.

* Communicate design intent, trade-offs, and risks clearly to stakeholders through written documentation and presentations.

* Support testing and validation activities, including compliance with industry test standards such as ISTA and ASTM, and incorporate test results into design improvements.

* Use key performance indicators such as completed packaging data sheets, completed co-designs, and adherence to NPI schedules to guide and improve performance.

* Demonstrate a bias for action by proactively addressing design issues and driving tasks to completion.

* Consistently deliver results by meeting quality, schedule, and performance expectations for mechanical and packaging designs.

Skills:

* BSc or MSc in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Packaging Engineering, or an equivalent engineering discipline.

* 3-5+ years of relevant work experience in mechanical design, packaging engineering, or a closely related field.

* Experience designing mechanical assemblies for electronics, including enclosures, mounts, and structural components.

* Experience with rapid prototype tooling to support early-stage design validation and iteration.

* Experience with production tooling and design for manufacturability in a production environment.

* Familiarity with packaging base materials and systems and their application in protective packaging solutions.

* Ability to review, write, and implement packaging standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work instructions (WIs).

* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills applied to mechanical and packaging design challenges.

* Experience in project management, including planning and tracking engineering tasks and deliverables.

* Strong communication and technical…
