Full Job Description

Manufacturing & Design Engineer

Austin, TX

We design and build mission-critical systems, tools, and components for companies pushing the limits of technology, including aerospace, defense, robotics, and advanced energy. We are an engineering-led, high-mix manufacturing organization focused on precision, speed, and disciplined execution.

We are looking for a Manufacturing & Design Engineer who can design robust mechanical solutions and personally manage their execution through an efficient manufacturing system. This role sits at the intersection of engineering intent and shop-floor reality.

This is not a pure design role and not a purely administrative role. It requires technical depth, ownership, and attention to detail.

What You'll Do

Engineering & Design

  • Design mechanical systems, fixtures, tooling, weldments, and assemblies to solve customer problems
  • Produce clear, manufacturable CAD models and drawings
  • Work directly with customers to define requirements and constraints
  • Design with manufacturability, inspection, and assembly in mind

Manufacturing Execution

  • Own jobs from release through shipment
  • Ensure routing, documentation, and requirements are correct before work starts
  • Coordinate closely with machining, fabrication, welding, inspection, and outside vendors
  • Identify and resolve issues before they create rework or delays
  • Continuously improve internal processes and workflows

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
  • Strong mechanical intuition and problem-solving ability
  • Professional-level CAD skills (SolidWorks preferred)
  • Experience designing parts or assemblies that are actually manufactured
  • High attention to detail and personal accountability
  • Comfort working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in a machine shop or fabrication environment
  • Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance stack-ups
  • Experience supporting prototypes or low-volume production
  • Comfort working directly with machinists, welders, and fabricators
  • Process-driven mindset with a bias toward continuous improvement

This Role Is Not a Fit If You

  • Only want to design without involvement in execution
  • Avoid accountability for schedule, cost, or quality
  • Struggle with ambiguity or fast-moving priorities
  • Prefer large corporate environments with narrow roles

Compensation & Benefits

Base Salary:

$100,000 - $120,000 per year, depending on experience and demonstrated capability

Compensation is based on your ability to design manufacturable solutions and execute them through a disciplined manufacturing system. Performance and ownership matter more than tenure.

Performance Bonus

Eligible for an annual performance bonus tied to execution quality, on-time delivery, and process improvements.

Benefits Include

  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • 401(k) with matching
  • Professional education stipend
  • Meaningful influence on company operations
  • Long-term growth opportunity
