Junior Mechanical Engineer

Position Overview:

Mattur is seeking a Mechanical Engineer I to support the design, development, and refinement of mechanical components and systems across early-stage and production hardware. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer who enjoys hands-on work, iterative design, and close collaboration with fabrication and manufacturing teams.

Key Responsibilities:

Mechanical Design and Documentation

- Design, develop, and refine mechanical components and assemblies using SolidWorks and other engineering tools as appropriate.

- Produce and maintain 3D models, 2D drawings, bills of materials, and related design documentation.

- Incorporate feedback from prototyping, testing, manufacturing, and field use into design iterations.

- Ensure designs are compatible with machining, fabrication, and assembly processes.

- Follow company standards, industry best practices, and applicable safety requirements.

Prototyping and Hardware Development

- Collaborate closely with in-house machining, fabrication, and 3D printing teams to support rapid prototyping and iteration.

- Participate in hands-on assembly, integration, and troubleshooting of mechanical components and systems.

- Support testing activities and help translate results into design improvements.

- Assist with on-site work as needed to validate fit, function, and manufacturability.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Work with mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing engineers to support system-level development.

- Communicate design intent clearly through drawings, models, and written documentation.

- Manage multiple tasks and priorities in a fast-moving development environment.

Qualifications:

- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.

- 0–3 years of relevant mechanical engineering experience, including internships or co-op experience.

- Proficiency with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software.

- Strong understanding of fundamental mechanical design principles.

- Exposure to prototyping, fabrication, or hardware-focused product development.

- Comfort working hands-on with physical hardware, including assemblies and shop-built prototypes.

- Familiarity with GD&T and producing clear, manufacturable 2D drawings.

- Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across disciplines.
