Job description
Join NovaForge Mechanical Solutions, a fast-growing engineering studio delivering high-precision mechanical systems for aerospace, industrial equipment, and consumer products. We’re seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead design, analysis, and cross-functional collaboration from concept through production.
In this role, you’ll drive innovative, robust mechanical architectures, optimize for manufacturability, and mentor junior engineers in a culture of excellence and continuous improvement.
About the team: collaborative, data-driven, and focused on delivering reliable solutions that meet ambitious goals and customer needs.
Responsibility
- Lead mechanical system design from concept to validation, including 3D modeling and GD&T
- Perform FEA/CFD analyses to verify performance and optimize designs
- Collaborate with electrical, manufacturing, and supplier teams to ensure feasibility and producibility
- Develop and maintain design documentation, specifications, and change control using PLM tools
- Lead root-cause analysis and continuous improvement using structured problem solving (8D, DOE)
- Create prototypes, test protocols, and fixtures; interpret test data to drive design decisions
- Mentor and guide junior engineers; contribute to project planning and risk management
Qualification
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (Master’s preferred)
- 5+ years of mechanical design experience in product development
- Strong 3D CAD skills (SolidWorks or CATIA); familiarity with other tools a plus
- Experience with FEA/CFD (ANSYS, Abaqus, or similar)
- Knowledge of GD&T, tolerance analysis, and design for manufacturability
- Experience with prototyping, testing, and data-driven decision making
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and project management skills
- US work authorization or equivalent; willingness to occasional travel
