Senior Mechanical Engineer (On-site)

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Own the design of Bolt subsystems from requirements through production release: concept, detailed design, analysis, drawings, and release
• Run the trade studies that set your subsystem's architecture — structure and material choices, stiffness and fatigue targets, thermal and IP strategy, serviceability, cost — and close them with EE, software, and safety
• Do the hands-on work: SolidWorks design, hand calcs and FEA, tolerance stackups, DFM for sheet metal, castings, machined parts, weldments, and plastics; build and test your own prototypes
• Define and run subsystem tests (static and dynamic loads, vibration, drop, thermal, ingress) and feed results back into the design
• Be the technical contact for your subsystem's fabricators; drive DFM/DFA feedback and support production issues
• Lead design reviews for your subsystem and mentor junior engineers

Job requirements

• Experience: Bachelor's or graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related) and 5+ years designing, building, and testing electromechanical products, including designs you've taken through production release
• Mechanical Depth: Strong in structures and mechanisms — load paths, stiffness and fatigue, bearings and drivetrain components, fasteners and joints, tolerance analysis
• Manufacturing: DFM for sheet metal, castings, machining, weldments, and injection molding; you know what each process costs and where it fails
• Analysis: Hand calcs first, FEA when it earns its keep; you can size a part and defend the numbers
• Tool Fluency: Proficient in SolidWorks (parts, large assemblies, drawings, simulation) and a PDM/PLM release process
• Clarity of Communication: Clear design documentation, crisp trade studies, and design reviews that make your peers better
• Impact Driven: A reliable, manufacturable part that ships beats an elegant one that never leaves the lab
• Excelling in Ambitious Environments: You thrive in a fast-moving team with changing requirements and tight timelines
