Product Development Engineer

• →Own a module of the Superpower engine — turbomachinery, mechanical systems, or structures/integration — from requirements through test.
• →Drive design decisions that minimize part count, simplify assembly, and shorten the path from drawing to hardware.
• →Live at the interface between design and fabrication: work directly with our in-house shop and external suppliers to get parts made right, fast, and on budget.
• →Integrate your hardware onto test stands. Watch it run. Break it. Fix it. Ship the next rev.
• →Raise the bar on everyone around you.

• A degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Manufacturing Engineering — or equivalent hands-on experience. The degree field is less important than manufacturing exposure; we hire build engineers with robotics, and biomedical backgrounds.
• Real DFM/DFA intuition — you can look at a part and see how it will be made.
• Hands-on experience turning a design into actual hardware, preferably in a high-consequence environment (aerospace, automotive at scale, defense, energy, race cars, robotics).
• A track record of making things simpler, cheaper, and faster to build.

• You believe the shop floor is the most interesting room in the building.
• You are equally comfortable talking to the machinist making your part as the CFD or FEA analyst who set the requirements — and you understand the "why" on both ends.
• You have strong opinions, held loosely, and you'd rather change your mind today than defend a bad idea for six months.

We are not the right place for engineers who want to own a requirements document, ship CAD over the wall, and let someone else figure out how to build it. We are exactly the right place for engineers who want to go home at night knowing their part exists because of them.
