The Mission
Want to see your CAD models flying on virtually every major commercial airliner and military aircraft in the sky? Operating as a key business unit within a Fortune 500 aerospace family, we design, engineer, and manufacture mission-critical flight hardware. We are looking for an ambitious, design-obsessed Product Engineer to architect the next generation of complex hydraulic, fuel, and electro-mechanical fluid control systems.
If you crave end-to-end hardware ownership, complex physics challenges, and the chance to lead full-lifecycle product development without corporate red tape, this is your launching pad.

Rapid Prototyping & Testing: Design test setups, run hardware through extreme thermal/pressure stress, resolve design anomalies, and validate mission-critical performance.
Technical Ownership: Lead internal and customer-facing design reviews, present engineering proposals to major aerospace OEMs, and sign off on drawing releases and design updates.
Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate directly with manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to take your designs from your workstation to the shop floor and onto the aircraft.
What You Bring
Education & Experience: BSME or BSAE with 3–10 years of hands-on engineering experience in a fast-paced hardware environment.
CAD & Simulation Arsenal: High proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred) and FEA/simulation tools (ANSYS preferred).
Fluid Power Expertise: Strong understanding of mechanical principles, fluid dynamics, or servo valve technology.
Problem-Solving Drive: High energy, attention to mechanical detail, and strong technical communication skills to present design choices to customers and leadership.
ITAR Requirement: Must be a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident (Green Card holder) due to defense contract regulations.
