As a Mechanical Engineer II your primary responsibility is to design, validate, and implement rotor-mounted telemetry systems and associated electronics enclosures. This mid-level role balances technical engineering design with hands-on manufacturing integration, cross-functional collaboration with Sales and Technicians, and robust documentation practices to support continuous product innovation.

Additional Duties:

Design & Engineering Analysis

• Design and develop rotary telemetry systems, including electronic enclosures and the analysis of centrifugal forces.
• Perform mechanical design and analysis using computer-assisted engineering (CAE) software.
• Develop design documentation and parametric models utilizing SolidWorks 3D software.
• Utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software tools to evaluate and validate structural integrity.
• Leverage artificial intelligence (AI) tools to optimize mechanical designs, automate modeling, and accelerate structural simulations.
• Complete product designs independently upon receiving project definitions and design inputs from Senior Engineers.
• Research and analyze existing products to understand performance characteristics, manufacturing impacts, and cost drivers to propose innovative materials and design improvements.

Quality, Testing & Manufacturing Support

• Perform incoming inspection, troubleshooting, and validation of production parts and prototypes using calipers and gauges.
• Identify critical dimensions and tolerances on manufacturing drawings for vendor use and incoming quality control.
• Apply knowledge of a broad range of materials (including composites and steels) and their specific machining requirements.
• Integrate and assemble telemetry system first articles and author corresponding manufacturing work instructions.
• Document designs, test procedures, and engineering results in alignment with company and industry standards.
• Support the creation of customer-targeted product manuals.
• Utilize the company's ERP system effectively to support design, procurement, and manufacturing workflows.

Collaboration, Risk Management & Leadership

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (electrical, manufacturing, and software/firmware engineers) to ensure reliable system performance.
• Partner with vendors to source high-quality components at competitive costs while seeking design-for-manufacturing (DFM) guidance.
• Apply functional knowledge of risk management methodologies to mitigate risks in new designs.
• Drive continuous improvement efforts focused on system design, manufacturability, and reliability.
• Mentor and oversee engineering co-ops, interns, and entry-level engineers or designers.
• Provide rapid response for internal and external technical support needs.
• Assist in field service activities, including remote support and traveling to customer sites, company sites, training, and trade shows as required

Minimum Qualifications:

• Education: BS in Engineering program or related field or equivalent work experience.
• Experience: 5 years' relevant experience as an entry level Mechanical Engineer, with demonstrated design, test, and self-direction. Experience in a technical field or advanced degrees relevant to the position will be considered. SolidWorks 3D modeling software
• Travel Requirement: As needed

Additional Benefits:

• 100% Company Paid Medical Insurance
• Dental and Vision Insurance
• Company funded HSA or HRA Accounts (based on enrollment in the company's medical insurance plan)
• Employer paid basic life insurance, short- and long-term disability insurance
• 401k Company Match
• Annual Bonus
• Dependent Scholarship Plan
• Employee Discounts, Holiday Gift Certificates, Referral Bonus
