Job description

Mechanical Engineer - Specialized Design
Company Name: EKFox
Location: Chantilly, VA
Project Focus: Mission-Critical Infrastructure, Secure Facilities, R&D, and Specialized HVAC
Work Setting: In-Office / Hands-on Lab & Field
Salary: $80,000 - $120,000 + Benefits
Recruited Exclusively By: Luxus | AEC Talent Partners
Position Overview
Are you ready to move beyond the drafting table and into a role where your designs are physically prototyped, tested, and deployed for missions of national security? We are seeking a Mid-Level Mechanical Engineer to join our Specialized Design team-a high-impact group dedicated to solving the most complex infrastructure challenges for a select group of confidential clients. This isn't just about HVAC load calcs; it's about "cradle-to-grave" engineering where you take ownership of the entire lifecycle, from initial concept and CFD modeling to hands-on fabrication and field implementation.
Joining our team means stepping into a culture that breathes creativity and values technical integrity above all else. You will work in a fast-paced, broad-spectrum environment where one day involves designing satellite command-and-control cooling systems and the next involves forensic analysis of COTS power systems in a lab setting. For an engineer who craves variety and the satisfaction of knowing their work protects and enriches America's security, this is the ultimate platform for professional growth and legacy-building.
Core Responsibilities
  • End-to-End Design Engineering: Lead and assist in the full design process including HVAC load calculations, system sizing, equipment selection, and the development of 2D/3D CAD drawing packages.
  • Technical Innovation & Research: Research cutting-edge HVAC technologies and evaluate mechanical products to meet specialized requirements for feasibility, cost, and maintenance.
  • Hands-on Fabrication & Testing: Transition designs from the screen to the shop by implementing hands-on fabrication, designing test control apparatus, and developing procedures for product testing.
  • Project Stewardship: Manage discipline budgets and timelines for small-to-medium projects, coordinating seamlessly with internal cross-discipline leads, subcontractors, and vendors.
  • Field Engineering & Forensic Analysis: Lead field surveys of existing conditions, identify non-compliant infrastructure, and investigate equipment failures to diagnose malfunctions and recommend mitigation strategies.
  • BIM & Schematic Development: Develop and interpret complex blueprints, technical drawings, and schematics, ensuring all designs align with mechanical, plumbing, and fire codes.
  • Technical Documentation: Write high-level performance requirements, construction specifications, and installation manuals for mission-critical projects.

Required Qualifications
  • Education: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited college.
  • Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship is required.
  • Security Clearance: Active US Security Clearance.
  • Experience: Minimum of 3+ years of experience, preferably within a design firm setting.
  • Licensure: EIT (Engineer in Training) status.
  • Software Proficiency: Proficiency with 2D/3D CAD (AutoCAD and SolidWorks preferred) and Microsoft Office.
  • Technical Skillset: Proven experience with shop/hand tools and the ability to perform engineering calculations with limited supervision.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (PE) license.
  • Advanced Analysis: Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software.
  • Modeling Tools: Proficiency with Trane Trace or Carrier HAP.
  • Sector Knowledge: Deep understanding of commercial/industrial HVAC systems and specialized utility piping.
