Full Job Description
The Role

Mach Industries is seeking Mechanical Design Engineers to join our revolutionary new division, Mach Propulsion. We're developing a high-performance small turbine engine from the ground up, designed for scalable, high-rate manufacturing. This is a unique opportunity to apply your experience to a first-of-its-kind propulsion system. We're looking for engineers with foundational experience in propulsion, drivetrain systems, or rotating machinery who are excited to solve complex engineering problems in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and Development: Design turbojet engine components and subsystems using Siemens NX, leveraging tools such as CAD, CFD, and FEA. Produce 3D models and 2D drawings optimized for manufacturing and performance.
  • Full Lifecycle Ownership: Participate in concept generation, trade studies, prototyping, testing, and iteration. Engage directly with test teams to validate your hardware.
  • Team Collaboration: Work closely with fabrication, machining, test, and engineering teams to ensure high-quality, on-time delivery of components.


Required Qualifications
  • BS in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • 1+ years of mechanical engineering experience in propulsion, powertrain, or mechanical assemblies involving high-speed rotating hardware.
  • Proficient in Siemens NX and familiar with PLM tools like Teamcenter.
  • Working knowledge of ASME Y14.5 for tolerance control and manufacturability.
  • Strong base in structures, materials, and manufacturing processes.
  • Experience with prototyping and testing; comfortable in lab and shop environments.
  • Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience designing or developing turbomachinery, small turbine engines, or air-breathing propulsion systems.
  • Familiarity with high-rate manufacturing methods and strong understanding of DFM principles.
  • Exposure to advanced materials such as composites and high-temperature alloys in propulsion environments.
  • Experience supporting or leading test rig design, component integration, or validation of hardware.
  • Understanding of defense or aerospace regulations and qualification processes.


Disclosures

The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offers may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and training, critical skills, and business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are included in most offers and are considered part of Mach's total compensation package. Mach offers benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and opportunities for professional development.
