Mechanical Design Engineer

Mechanical Design Engineer
At ReLogic Research, you won’t be just another headcount. We’re a tight-knit team of engineers, physicists, and technical professionals solving complex challenges in national defense — and we’re looking for engineers who enjoy building real hardware and getting the details right.
As an AS9100D-certified small business supporting the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Missile Defense Agency, we move fast, trust our people, and give engineers meaningful ownership of their work. Unlike larger organizations, our engineers work directly across design, build, integration, and technical problem-solving.
This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy designing and maturing real hardware in CAD, solving practical mechanical problems, and working closely with fabrication, assembly, and integration teams.
Primary Responsibilities
Design mechanical components, assemblies, fixtures, and support hardware in SolidWorks for defense and aerospace applications
Develop detailed, manufacturing-ready CAD models and engineering drawings from technical requirements, analyst inputs, and engineering concepts
Collaborate closely with analysts, engineers, designers, machinists, and technical staff to mature concepts into buildable hardware
Evaluate mechanical fit, function, tolerances, manufacturability, and assembly considerations during design development
Develop and maintain CAD models and product definition inputs that support drawing production
Participate in drawing release, revision control, and engineering change processes using company product definition standards
Support prototype builds, hardware integration, troubleshooting, testing, and installation activities to ensure design intent is achieved
Participate in technical and peer design reviews and contribute practical engineering solutions to mechanical design challenges
Required Qualifications
BS in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related engineering discipline
5+ years of experience designing mechanical hardware and assemblies in SolidWorks
Strong proficiency creating manufacturing-ready CAD models and engineering drawings
Working knowledge of GD&T, tolerance considerations, and mechanical drawing standards
Experience designing mechanical assemblies intended for fabrication, integration, or field use
Strong practical mechanical problem-solving skills and engineering judgment
Active Secret security clearance or ability to obtain and maintain a clearance
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with SolidWorks Product Data Management (PDM)
Familiarity with ASME Y14.100, Engineering Product Definition and Related Documentation Practices
Experience supporting prototype builds, hardware integration, troubleshooting, or installation
Experience in aerospace, defense, manufacturing, or other highly regulated industries
Familiarity with machined parts, welded structures, sheet metal, precision assemblies, or electromechanical packaging
This is a full-time salaried position with highly competitive compensation based on experience and skills, comprehensive benefits, and opportunities for career growth. Approximately 10% travel is expected.
