Mechanical Design Engineer, Body Structures, Frame (Autonomous Vehicle Team)

Job description

Job requirements

• 5+ years of hands-on experience designing and building structural mechanical systems
• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, or similar), with a disciplined approach to assemblies, tolerancing, and managing complex multi-part systems
• Experience using FEA and simulation tools (ANSYS, ADAMS, or similar) to inform design decisions, including structural, fatigue, and modal analysis
• Practical experience with fabrication processes such as welding, machining, and sheet metal—comfortable working between CAD and the shop floor
• Solid understanding of materials and their trade-offs in structural applications, including strength, fatigue, corrosion resistance, and weight
• Experience designing for harsh environments, including water exposure, corrosion, and sealing of structural systems
• Ability to think in systems—designing structures that integrate cleanly with actuators, wiring, fluid systems, and sensors from the outset
