Job Description
Are you ready to pioneer the next generation of clean energy mobility solutions? Apex Mobility Technologies is seeking a visionary Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to lead our high-performance design team in Detroit. In this role, you will bridge the gap between concept and physical reality, developing advanced structural systems that push the boundaries of efficiency and durability.
We offer a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment where your innovations directly impact the future of transportation. If you are passionate about elegant engineering, advanced materials, and robust design practices, we want to hear from you.
Responsibilities
- Lead the mechanical architecture, design, and development of next-generation electro-mechanical systems from concept to production.
- Perform advanced structural, thermal, and dynamic analyses using FEA and CFD simulation tools to ensure product reliability.
- Generate detailed 3D CAD models, complex assemblies, and production-ready 2D drawings utilizing strict GD&T principles.
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including electrical engineering, software, and supply chain to optimize system integration.
- Design, build, and execute rigorous physical test plans for component validation, environmental testing, and design verification.
- Drive Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) reviews with manufacturing partners globally.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a highly related technical discipline.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, ideally within the automotive, aerospace, or advanced robotics sectors.
- Expert level proficiency in SolidWorks, CATIA, or Creo, paired with a robust understanding of PLM systems.
- Strong working knowledge of Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5 and comprehensive tolerance stack-up analysis.
- Proven track record of designing for high-volume manufacturing processes (injection molding, casting, sheet metal, and CNC machining).
- Exceptional problem-solving skills, with a portfolio showcasing completed projects from prototype to mass production.
