Mechanical Design Engineer, Defense Structures

Machina Labs is looking for a motivated, detail-oriented, and technically strong Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Aerospace and Defense team. This role will focus on the mechanical design, producibility, and design-for-manufacturability of structural defense products, including missile structures, hypersonic vehicle components, UAV structures, and other integrated metallic assemblies. 

As a Mechanical Designer, you will work closely with engineering, manufacturing, business development, and customer teams to translate customer requirements and product concepts into manufacturable designs. You will support the development of metallic structures, tooling concepts, assembly approaches, and producibility recommendations that enable rapid, scalable production using Machina Labs’ advanced manufacturing capabilities. 

 

Success in this role requires strong mechanical design fundamentals, practical manufacturing judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to work in a fast-paced technical environment. The ideal candidate is comfortable working with incomplete information, can identify manufacturability risks early, and can propose clear design changes that improve cost, lead time, quality, and production scalability. 

 

This role is well suited for someone who understands that the best design is not only technically sound, but also buildable, inspectable, repeatable, and scalable.
