Job description

Role Overview

We are seeking aย Mechanical Design Engineer for our Combustion team to own the 3D design of high-temperature, high-pressure hardware from concept through fabrication.ย ย You'llย collaborate closely with combustion engineers, analysts, and test engineers to develop practical, test-ready systems. Your work willย leverageย metal additive manufacturing, precision machining, and algorithmic design techniques to push the boundaries of modern fabrication.ย 

This is an onsite opportunity in our El Segundo, CA office.ย 

Responsibilities
  • Lead detailed 3D modeling of complex components and assemblies.ย 
  • Apply Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) principles toย optimizeย performance, cost, and manufacturability.ย 
  • Create complete drawing packages with GD&T, assembly documentation, and bill of materials (BOMs).ย 
  • Translate engineering requirements into practical, buildable designs.ย 
  • Generate work instructions and collaborate with technicians during builds and test campaigns.ย 
  • Continuously iterate based on feedback from analysis, testing, and fabrication.ย 
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, orย a relatedย Engineering discipline.ย 
  • 3+ years of experience in mechanical design of high-performance systems.ย 
  • Proficiencyย in CAD software (Siemens NX preferred; others such as SolidWorks or Creoย alsoย acceptable).ย 
  • Experience producing fully detailed drawing packages including GD&T and manufacturing specs.ย 
  • Experience with additive manufacturing andย DfAMย principles.ย 
  • Understanding ofย additive constraints: overhang angles, support strategy, build orientation, powder removal, etc.ย 
Preferred Qualifications
  • Exposure to material behavior and surface finish considerations inย high-temperatureย AM alloys (e.g., Inconel 625/718, Hastelloy, Haynes).ย 
  • Familiarity with FEA or fluid/thermal analysis workflows.ย 
  • Prior experience in a fast-paced, hands-on R&D or startup environment.ย 
  • Exposure toย combustion systems, high-temperature materials, or pressure vessels.ย 
Compensation & Benefits
  • Pre-IPO stock options
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (Arbor covers 90% for employees)
  • Basic life insurance fully covered
  • Health savings account (HSA) with matching
  • Flexible savings account (FSA)
  • Unlimited PTOย 
  • 12+ company holidays, including Earth Day!ย 
  • 401(k)
  • Commuter benefits
  • Annual learning and development stipend
  • And more!

Base Pay: $130,000 - $150,000 USD/year.ย The salary is subject to the applicant's skills, qualifications, experience, and geographic location.
