The RoleMach Industries is seeking a
New Grad Mechanical Engineer to join our team in designing, prototyping, and iterating on mechanical and electromechanical systems that support next-generation defense platforms. In this hands-on role, you'll contribute to the development of innovative manufacturable hardware.
At Mach Industries, we are redefining the future of defense through advanced, scalable platforms. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will play a key role in prototyping and refining mechanical systems, and optimizing designs for performance and scalability. Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, you'll help shape the next wave of defense technologies, from concept to deployment.
Key Responsibilities- Own the mechanical design and development of subsystem-level hardware, from early CAD concepts to functional prototypes, all the way through mass production.
- Integrate mechanical systems with sensors, actuators, and embedded control hardware.
- Lead hands-on testing, including design validation and hardware iteration based on performance feedback.
- Drive manufacturability, part selection, and tolerance stack-up decisions for scalable production.
- Apply mechanical fundamentals (thermal, structural, materials) to inform robust, lightweight designs.
- Contribute to test plans, technical documentation, and engineering reviews.
- Perform analytical modeling and simulation to evaluate mechanical system performance, guide design decisions, and inform trade studies.
- Ability to support critical project milestones, including working extended hours or weekends
Required Qualifications- 1+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, with a focus on designing and prototyping mechanical systems (can be in a professional, hobby or academic setting)
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Graduating with a bachelor's degree, master's degree or PhD in 2026 or 2027
Preferred Qualifications- Intermediate skills in 3D modeling and CAD tools (e.g., NX, SolidWorks, etc.) for mechanical design and iteration.
- Experience with programming languages (e.g. python, MATLAB, C++) for analytical modeling, simulation and engineering problem-solving.
- Familiarity with lightweight materials, composites, or additive manufacturing techniques.
- Experience with FEA or multi-physics software packages.
- Knowledge of aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, or thermal management as applied to mechanical systems.
