Senior Mechanical Design - Aviation

Overview

The Senior Mechanical Designer works closely with TEAGUE’s mechanical and industrial designers, interaction designers, researchers, and strategists to create unique mechanical systems solutions for our clients in the transportation and technology industries. This role demands a passion for collaborative problem solving, as well as a strong foundation in mechanical design, along with expertise in product development. 

Why We Need This Position: 

Innovation is one of the founding principles of TEAGUE. Without dedicated, imaginative and technically savvy creators, we’re simply not able to do what we do best. Our Seattle-based multidisciplinary team is growing; we need engineering horsepower to keep up. Which is why we need people like you—people who spent their childhoods dismantling R/C cars to see how they worked; people with the vision to imagine the products and experiences that will shape the future of how we connect to each other, and the ability to make them real. 

Who We’re Looking For: 

You love combining analytical approaches with creative solutions.  You are excited to apply the breadth of your mechanical expertise—from stress analysis to thermal management –on new product development.  Unsatisfied with just delivering the next iteration of a product you are ready to throw away the drawing board and create something entirely new.  You excel in a dynamic work environment and are ready to tackle a wide range of engineering challenges through the life of a project.  You know your way around a machine shop and have experience printing, machining, molding, or forming parts. 

Too easy, you say?  As a highly desirable candidate you have a deep understanding of mechanical engineering fundamentals, but you’re also understand programming and digital systems and are always on the lookout for a new tool to improve your process.  You’ve worked multiple products from concept through production and have the confidence to lead our clients through the process. You are quick to prototype and machine tool, printed parts, bread boards and code, or cardboard and duct tape to support hands on development. Highly self-motivated and laser-focused, you’re prepared to work hard, play hard, and laugh hard while making things happen. If you think you have the skills, energy, attitude (and sense of humor) to run with our pack, we’d love to hear from you.
