Mechanical Systems Engineer

About the Role As a Mechanical Systems Design Engineer, you will serve as a technical authority in stress analysis and component development for high-performance aerospace fluid and pneumatic systems. You will drive innovation across the product lifecycle, leveraging advanced simulation techniques to ensure structural integrity and performance excellence in demanding environments. Responsibilities Lead the end-to-end design process, from conceptual sketching to final production-ready documentation, focusing on design for manufacturing and cost-efficiency. Execute complex structural dynamics and fatigue analyses using FEA to validate component performance under extreme conditions. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including manufacturing, quality, and test engineering, to optimize metallic parts produced via additive manufacturing, casting, and precision machining. Develop custom automation scripts using Python, MATLAB, or Excel VBA to streamline design workflows and calculation accuracy. Manage the full product lifecycle, providing technical support for new development, legacy maintenance, and root-cause failure analysis. Mentor junior engineering staff, fostering a culture of technical growth and rigorous analytical standards. Qualifications Required Skills BS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with 5-10+ years of professional design experience. Advanced proficiency in FEA software, specifically HyperWorks, with a strong background in linear/nonlinear static, modal, and random response analysis. Demonstrated expertise in applying GD&T per ASME Y14.5 standards to complex assemblies. Proven experience in designing for metallic additive manufacturing and structural topology optimization. Strong technical writing capabilities for documenting analysis reports and engineering procedures. Preferred Skills Master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline. Experience with CAD platforms such as SolidWorks or CATIA. Familiarity with high-temperature superalloys including Inconel, Titanium, and Stainless Steel. Background in MRB review and the disposition of nonconforming hardware.
