Mid, Senior and Principal Mechanical Engineers

Strativ Group, Irvine, CA, United States


The aerospace industry is evolving fast and my client is building it differently. They're a next-generation aerospace manufacturer combining startup speed with deep industry expertise, using automation, laser-guided layup, and digital manufacturing to rethink how flight-critical components are built and scaled. We are looking for

Mechanical Engineers (Mid, Senior, and Principal levels)

who want to own the journey from a blank NX sheet to a high-rate production line. The Mission

Architect the Digital Thread:

We don't do 2D drawings. You will drive a "Model-as-Master" philosophy using

Siemens NX

and

Teamcenter

to ensure the 3D model is the authoritative source for manufacturing. Design for Scale (HVM):

This isn't about building one prototype. You will design for automated assembly, die casting, and high-precision machining, applying

DfM/DfA

principles to ensure we can ship thousands of units, not dozens. Own the Hardware:

From initial sizing studies and structural/thermal

FEA

to vendor management and "in-the-trenches" failure analysis, you own your module’s lifecycle. Bridge the Gap:

(For Principals) You will mentor the next generation of engineers while collaborating across Systems, Quality, and Ops to ensure our hardware meets

DO-160

and

FAA

standards without losing startup velocity. What You’ll Bring

The DNA:

4 to 12+ years of experience in high-complexity mechanical environments ( Aerospace, EV, Robotics, or Medical Devices ). The Stack:

Expert-level proficiency in

Siemens NX . You should be comfortable with complex surfacing, large assembly management, and GD&T. The Mindset:

You value "first-pass quality." You understand

CP/CPK , tolerance stacks, and how a design choice on day one impacts the yield on day 100. The Background:

Experience with electromechanical integration—think actuators, gearboxes, thermal management, or safety-critical sensors. The Location:

You are either in SoCal or ready to return to the

Irvine/Orange County

hub. US Citizenship/Green Card required. Why Join Now?

The Stage:

We’ve emerged from stealth with a

$30M Series A

and a leadership team that has already scaled the biggest names in the industry. The Impact:

You aren't a cog in a machine. At the Mid-level, you own a system. At the Principal level, you define the framework for an entire industry’s evolution. The Package:

Highly competitive salary, equity, and unlimited PTO. Ready to build the 21st-century supply chain? Apply below.
