The Ground Support Equipment (GSE) / Charge Team is seeking well-rounded Mechanical Engineers with a strong mechanical aptitude, a curious nature, and the flexibility to contribute across the full product lifecycle. Our projects span everything from early concept development to UL-certified systems already in production. Engineering tasks are equally diverse: supporting new concept design, CAD modeling, technical drawings, prototyping, testing, and managing the Technical Data Package (TDP) and engineering changes within our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system.
How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:- Create, update, and maintain accurate 3D models, technical drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) to support the efficient design and manufacture of state-of-the-art EV charging systems for electric aircraft
- Collaborate with Design Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP specialists), Production Control, and Manufacturing/Assembly teams to:
- Develop new design concepts
- Implement changes to existing designs
- Maintain the TDP
- Generate and process Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) for releasing new designs or modifying existing ones
- Provide support during prototyping, testing, and shop floor activities
Minimum Qualifications:- Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field, or equivalent practical experience
- High proficiency in SolidWorks, with experience creating and maintaining part & assembly models, technical drawings, and BOMs
- Strong mechanical aptitude and technical skillset, with hands-on prototyping experience
- Ability to pivot quickly between projects and priorities
- Curious, creative, and motivated to learn new tools and methods
- Organized, detail-oriented, and collaborative with excellent communication skills
- All levels of experience will be considered
Above and Beyond Qualifications:- Experience with Tolerance Stack Analysis
- Experience with Root Cause & Corrective Action Analysis & other Lean Six Sigma Quality Tools
- Working knowledge of GD&T and ASME Y14.5 drafting standards
- Experience with PLM & ERP systems and engineering change processes
- Able to use Engineering analysis to drive design decisions
- Background in electro-mechanical assemblies and/or EV charging systems
- Familiarity with UL listed products
- Knowledge of diverse fabrication methods and typical tolerance expectations, including:
- Additive manufacturing (3D printing)
- Subtractive machining
- Welding
- Injection molding
- Sheet metal fabrication
- Composites
- Experience with industrial automation and control systems.
- Proficiency in electro-mechanical systems (motors, actuators, linear/rotary measurement)
- Knowledge of thermal analysis, protection methods, and system balancing
- Familiarity with thermo-fluid processes (pressure, flow, temperature, PID control)
- Expertise in instrumentation and component selection for electrical, mechanical, and thermo-fluid systems
- Skills in requirements, documentation, subcontractor management, and CapEx budgeting
- Ability to lead design reviews and present to cross-functional teams and leadership
- Willingness to visit suppliers/customers, support field service, and assist with commissioning
- Knowledge of HVAC systems and electronic equipment cooling/heating (liquid and forced-air)
Physical Demands & Work Environment:This role blends desk-based engineering work with hands-on support in the shop and field. You will:
- Alternate between sedentary CAD/design tasks and active shop floor engagement
- Walk and stand for periods to interact with engineers, product managers, and manufacturing teams
- Occasionally assist with assembly, disassembly, or prototyping tasks
- Adapt between office and manufacturing spaces, ensuring smooth communication and collaboration in both environments
This dynamic mix of design work and practical engineering provides a well-rounded, engaging professional experience.
