Founded in 2022, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 180 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition.

Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.

The Role

Mach Industries is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join our team in designing, prototyping, and iterating on mechanical and electromechanical systems that support next-generation defense platforms. In this hands-on role, you’ll contribute to the development of innovative mechanical components, work closely with embedded systems engineers, and help deliver manufacturable hardware.

At Mach Industries, we are redefining the future of defense through advanced, scalable platforms. As a Mechanical Engineer, you will play a key role in prototyping and refining mechanical systems, integrating embedded controls, and optimizing designs for performance and scalability. Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team, you’ll help shape the next wave of defense technologies, from concept to deployment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the mechanical design and development of subsystem-level hardware, from early CAD concepts to functional prototypes.

• Integrate mechanical systems with sensors, actuators, and embedded control hardware.

• Lead hands-on testing, including design validation and hardware iteration based on performance feedback.

• Drive manufacturability, part selection, and tolerance stack-up decisions for scalable production.

• Apply mechanical fundamentals (thermal, structural, materials) to inform robust, lightweight designs.

• Collaborate with electrical, embedded, and controls teams to ensure tight integration of hardware and software.

• Contribute to test plans, technical documentation, and engineering reviews.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, with a focus on designing and prototyping mechanical systems.

• Proficiency in embedded systems development for controlling hardware devices (e.g., actuators, sensors).

• Strong skills in 3D modeling and CAD tools (e.g., NX, SolidWorks, etc.) for mechanical design and iteration.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

• Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, and integrating mechanical and embedded systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with C/C++ programming for embedded system development.

• Familiarity with lightweight materials, composites, or additive manufacturing techniques.

• Knowledge of aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, or thermal management as applied to mechanical systems.

• Prior work on defense or aerospace projects, with an understanding of mission-critical design requirements.
