Principal Mechanical Engineer

A bachelor’s or master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

A Mechanical Engineer with 10+ years of experience, ideally in robotics, automation, consumer electronics, aerospace, or EV, with a strong structural design background and a track record of technical ownership at the system level.

FEA experience that goes beyond the resume line. Has worked through real structural problems. The candidate should be able to set up their own analyses, sanity-check results with hand calculations, and close the loop with physical test data rather than trusting the model.

Must have experience designing machined, sheet metal, and welded parts in OnShape and submitting documentation through ECO’s and deviations in Arena or other similar tools.

Comfortable ordering and building prototypes by hand to validate their ideas through prototyping and testing.

Must have performed tolerance stackups, reviewed FAI’s, PPAP’s, and worked on DFMEA’s throughout their career.

Has followed designs through the production line, diagnosing and fixing issues in engineering or production builds, as well as in the field.

Strong engineering judgment across both design and hands-on execution, with the ability to move between CAD, simulation, building, testing, and debugging real hardware.

Adept at communicating complex concepts and writing technical documents.

Experience evaluating design, performance, and logistical tradeoffs for hardware systems.

Experienced in designing for a range of manufacturing processes, including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, welding, and 3D printing.

Able to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Comfortable thinking at the product level, seeing how mechanical subsystems connect, package, and are manufactured together, and can make system-level architecture calls that hold up through production and deployment, not just through the design review.

Experience mentoring or technically guiding junior and mid-level engineers on design reviews, DFM, and best practices.

Willing and able to work from our Charlestown, MA office at least 4 days per week.
