Overview

A talent-network opening for experienced mechanical engineers to support an advanced engineering and AI research initiative with a leading technology organisation.

Suited to deeply hands-on engineers who have designed, analysed, built, tested, validated or troubleshot real-world mechanical and electromechanical systems in production environments, across backgrounds such as structural/stress engineering, thermal engineering, mechanical design engineering, and dynamics and controls engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Apply hands-on mechanical engineering expertise to technically complex engineering tasks involving real physical systems and products.
  • Review and evaluate mechanical designs, engineering analyses, simulation results, test methodologies and troubleshooting approaches.
  • Analyse engineering trade-offs involving structures, materials, thermal performance, mechanical design, dynamics, vibration, controls, reliability and manufacturability.
  • Assess the technical correctness and practical feasibility of engineering solutions generated for real-world mechanical engineering problems.
  • Identify incorrect assumptions, unrealistic boundary conditions, design deficiencies, failure modes, and potential implementation or reliability risks.
  • Develop or review technically rigorous engineering problems, reference solutions, evaluation criteria and supporting technical documentation.
  • Draw on practical experience with design, simulation, prototyping, hardware integration, test, validation, qualification, debugging and manufacturing.
  • Provide clear technical feedback grounded in real-world engineering experience and established engineering principles.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience, including at least 3 years of recent, actively hands-on experience in hardware development, analysis, testing, validation, integration, bring-up or troubleshooting - not solely program or people management.
  • Demonstrated experience as the responsible engineer for real hardware or physical systems, owning meaningful portions of the engineering lifecycle from requirements and analysis through design, prototype development, testing, validation, qualification and manufacturing readiness.
  • Deep technical expertise in at least one core domain: structural/stress analysis and FEA; thermal analysis, heat transfer and thermal management; mechanical design and product development; or dynamics, vibration, mechanisms and controls.
  • Strong practical command of materials, loads and boundary conditions, structural margins, fatigue, thermal constraints, tolerances/GD&T, component selection, reliability, manufacturability, system integration and engineering failure-mode analysis.
  • Extensive hands-on experience analyzing, testing, debugging and validating physical hardware, using relevant engineering tools such as CAD/CAE, FEA, CFD/thermal simulation, dynamic or controls simulation, test instrumentation, data acquisition and structured root-cause analysis.
  • Proven experience developing hardware in real-world product or manufacturing environments, ideally across aerospace/defense, space, automotive/EV, semiconductors, consumer electronics, robotics/eVTOL, industrial/energy or medical devices, with the ability to clearly explain technical decisions, design trade-offs, test results and failure mechanisms.

Preferred

  • Experience working for a company that designs, builds, tests and manufactures physical hardware products or systems is strongly preferred; the source names example organisations across aerospace and defense, space, automotive and EV, semiconductors, consumer electronics and computing, drones/eVTOL and robotics, and industrial, energy and medical devices.
  • Candidates from comparable hardware-focused organisations are equally encouraged to apply.

Engagement and pay

  • Pay: $100-$120 per hour (USD).
  • Independent contractor. Fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule. Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.
  • Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.
  • The work involves no access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.

Eligibility

  • Remote. Country eligibility is not stated by the source; worldwide eligibility is not assumed.
  • The source states it is unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.
