Mechanical Engineer

Overview In this role, you design and build mechanical hardware for autonomous, battery-electric rail vehicles, translating concepts into real parts and integrated assemblies. You work closely with manufacturing, supply chain, and cross-functional teams to move designs from CAD to validated hardware. The role emphasizes hands-on prototyping, testing, and rapid iteration to improve robustness and performance. This is a chance to contribute to safer, cleaner freight solutions at a fast-paced hardware company with a strong engineering culture. ResponsibilitiesDesign mechanical components, assemblies, and mechanisms with a focus on performance, manufacturability, reliability, and integrationCreate and maintain CAD models, drawings, and release packages for fabricated and purchased partsOwn mechanical design problems from concept through build, test, and iterationCollaborate with manufacturing, supply chain, test, and other engineering teams to move designs from CAD to hardwareSupport prototype builds, fit checks, hardware bring-up, root cause investigations, and design revisionsParticipate in testing and validation, identify failure modes, and drive practical design improvementsPerform engineering analysis such as tolerance stack-ups and first-principles calculations to support decisionsTroubleshoot mechanical issues on prototypes and vehicles and contribute fixes for robustness and field performance Key requirementsBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field1 to 3 years of mechanical engineering experienceStrong CAD skills in SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX, or similarExperience designing and manufacturing real mechanical hardwareStrong fundamentals in statics, dynamics, materials, tolerancing, and machine designAbility to create clear engineering drawings and communicate design intent to machinists, fabricators, suppliers, and teammatesComfort working in a fast-paced hardware environment with fast hardware realizationHands-on mindset with substantial time spent in shop, lab, or build environmentcollaboration with cross-functional teamseffective communication of design intentproblem-solving and practical decision-makingCAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, Siemens NX)tolerancing and first-principles analysisprototype development and hardware testing
