Generalist Mechanical / Design Engineer
We’re seeking a versatile Generalist Mechanical Engineer who excels at SolidWorks modeling and building mechanical devices end-to-end.
This is a hands-on engineering role focused on creating bold, innovative vehicles and products, while elevating our current line to be more refined, durable, and thoughtfully engineered. You will solve mechanical problems across many domains—shaping full assemblies, crafting precise integrated components, and unlocking new solutions that push our capabilities forward. You’ll balance real-world constraints with ambitious product goals, ensuring that industrial design intent pairs seamlessly with engineering precision and carries through to production. This role brings creativity and innovation into the heart of the development process, turning raw ideas and sketches into efficient, well-considered engineering solutions that accelerate innovation and progress.
Responsibilities
Rapidly work through engineering challenges and model mechanical concepts from parts creation to complex assemblies.
Create new devices and work with design to turn concepts into successful products as well as taking a designed object and backfilling them with engineered componentry.
Understand how product stack-ups, tolerances, and part clearances affect function, quality, and manufacturability.
Design mechanisms ranging from small moving parts to complete assemblies, collaborating with other engineering disciplines to create purly mechanical and electromechanical products.
Demonstrate expertise in fundamental engineering concepts such as linkages, fastening, bracketry, motion control, and enclosures.
Find OTS and unique components that enable the functionality of designed systems.
Apply DFM principles and constraints to create production-ready products.
Communicate engineered solutions through technical drawings, supporting in-house builds and iterating designs with manufacturing partners.
Perform basic FEA to ensure safety and reliability are considered in all designs.
Fill gaps across programs where general problem-solving is needed across design, prototyping, and connected engineering disciplines.
Requirements
3–7 years in mechanical design or product engineering.
Strong SolidWorks modeling fluency (parts, assemblies, configurations. Surfacing a plus).
Broad exposure to manufacturing methods across plastics, metals, electronics, and new material processes.
Ability to design clean, reliable, assembly-friendly mechanisms.
Nice-to-Haves
Experience with small EVs, robotics, or consumer devices.
Comfort with hands-on fabrication and bench testing.
