About this role
We're Hiring: Mechanical Design Engineer
Full-Time | Core Team
LAT Aerospace | Cross - Program
LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.
The Mechanical Design Engineer role is a highly hands-on one. You will work across programs and design everything from aircraft mechanisms and propulsion hardware to test rigs, fixtures, and one-off mechanisms. The ideal candidate would enjoy solving new mechanical problems and turning ideas into working hardware quickly.

What You'll Do
- Design mechanical components, assemblies, mechanisms, fixtures, test rigs, and support hardware across LAT's programs.
- Develop detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, 2D drawings, and manufacturing documentation.
- Translate engineering requirements and concepts into robust, manufacturable mechanical designs.
- Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) across machining, composites, additive manufacturing, and other processes.
- Design mechanisms, joints, mounts, actuators, linkages, and other moving systems.
- Perform tolerance analysis, interference checks, and fit/function reviews for complex assemblies.
- Work closely with engineers, technicians, machinists, vendors, and manufacturing teams to take designs from CAD to physical hardware.
- Iterate designs rapidly based on prototype builds, testing, and failure investigation.
- Own BOMs, drawings, specifications, and engineering documentation for assigned hardware.
- Maintain and organize CAD and engineering data within our database and across life cycle.
- Minimum 3 years of industrial experience working on complex mechanisms, actuations, linkages or rotating machineries.
- Strong fundamentals in mechanical design, machine design, materials, and manufacturing processes applicable on aerospace systems and test rigs.
- Proficiency with industry-standard CAD software, Configuration management and PDM/PLM systems.
- Strong understanding of DFM/DFA and manufacturing processes including machining, sheet metal, composites, welding, and additive manufacturing.
- Familiarity with GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
- Ability to read and create detailed engineering drawings.
- Hands-on experience taking hardware through concept design, rapid prototyping, manufacturing, assembly and testing.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to make practical engineering trade-offs based on FEA and engineering analysis.
- No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
- Rapid hardware iteration culture.
- Opportunity to build next-generation aerospace technology from the ground up.
