Mechanical Design Engineer

Ready to be part of something big? At KRUSH Labs, a privately owned R&D center, we push the boundaries of unmanned systems and advanced hardware. We’re building next-generation platforms that fuse resilient communications, AI-driven autonomy, and precision navigation, designed to perform in the most demanding real-world environments. Join us to tackle complex challenges, turn cutting-edge research into deployed technology, and help shape the future of autonomous systems! 

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will be responsible for designing and developing mechanical sub-systems and components from concept through to production. You will operate in a multidisciplinary environment, delivering reliable and manufacturable solutions supported by thorough documentation, analysis, and testing.

You will work closely with electronics hardware and software teams to ensure seamless mechanical–electrical integration, including wiring, sensor placement, connectors, modules, and complete mechatronic assemblies.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate functional and system-level requirements into clear mechanical requirements, concepts, and detailed designs.
• Develop high-quality 3D CAD models and production-ready 2D drawings for parts and assemblies.
• Perform engineering analyses such as tolerance analysis, structural and thermal checks, and basic FEM where required.
• Select appropriate materials, surface treatments, and manufacturing processes based on performance, cost, and quality targets.
• Collaborate closely with electronics engineering teams to integrate mechanical designs with PCBs, wiring, connectors, sensors, actuators, and motors.
• Define mechanical clearances, grounding concepts, and thermal constraints for electronics-integrated designs.
• Support prototype builds, evaluation, and validation testing activities.
• Work with suppliers and manufacturing partners, provide technical documentation, and support design and manufacturing reviews.
• Maintain BOMs, drawings, revision control, and release documentation in a structured and traceable manner.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, internal design guidelines, and engineering best practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Proven experience as a Mechanical Engineer in a product development or high-tech environment.
• Strong proficiency in 3D CAD tools (e.g. NX, Creo, SolidWorks, or similar) and experience creating production-ready 2D drawings.
• Experience integrating mechanical components with electronic systems, including enclosures, connectors, thermal solutions, and tolerance management.
• Understanding mechanical–electrical interfaces and basic electronics or mechatronic systems (sensors, actuators, wiring, PCBs).
• Experience with IPx-rated designs for harsh or outdoor environments.
• Experience with tolerance analysis and basic FEM or similar analysis tools is a plus.
• Thermal design knowledge related to electronics, such as ventilation strategies, heat sinking, and material selection, is an advantage.
• Familiarity with DfM/DfA principles and collaboration with suppliers and manufacturing teams.
• Experience with integrated motor systems is considered an advantage.

Skills & Abilities Required

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to develop innovative and practical solutions.

• Hands-on and pragmatic engineering mindset.
• Clear and effective communication skills in both spoken and written English.
• Proactive and adaptable, with a willingness to learn new technologies and address integration challenges.
• Able to work in a structured manner, documenting design decisions and following up on actions.
• Comfortable contributing to cross-functional collaboration in a fast-paced development environment.
