Mechanical Engineer

Insight Global is a Mechanical Engineer II who can own subsystems on real warhead and ordnance programs with limited oversight. Every project with this company is run by a dedicated team; you will be one of its mechanical engineers, owning your designs from concept through test and drawing release, and helping our early-career engineers raise their game. This is a high-energy startup, not a 9-to-5 role. Test campaigns and program deadlines may bring extended hours and weekend work, and we are looking for people who want that pace.

What success looks like in this role:

• Own a subsystem on an active program, with CAD models, drawings, and a BOM taken through design review.
• Deliver an FEA model with documented assumptions and boundary conditions, and lead the build and range test of hardware you designed.
• Correlate predictions with test data, drive the resulting design change, and carry the subsystem through DFM review and drawing release.

What you’ll do:

• Own the design of munition subsystems end to end: cases and structures, fragmentation and energetics packaging, and interfaces to fuzes and host platforms.
• Build and run FEA, including shock and transient loading, document assumptions and results, and correlate them with test data.
• Lead prototype builds and range tests with machinists, technicians, production, and the range team, and turn data into design changes.
• Design for production with suppliers and our production team: DFM/DFA, GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and material and process selection.
• Write and own the documentation that comes with engineering (test reports, ECOs, drawing releases, procedures), roughly 30 to 40 percent of the job.
• Review the work of Mechanical Engineer I teammates and help build our written design standards

Required Qualifications:

• Required BS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering Veterans are encouraged to apply; military experience does not substitute for the degree.
• 2 to 5 years of hands-on mechanical design experience, with designs you took through test and release.
• SolidWorks proficiency, FEA experience, and working use of GD&T and tolerance stack-ups.
• Hands-on aptitude in the shop and at a test range.
• Clear technical writing, and availability for extended hours and weekend work during test campaigns.
• U.S. citizen, qualified to be a Responsible Person able to obtain and maintain a Secret clearance.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ansys experience, especially nonlinear contact, large deformation, or transient and shock loading.
• Direct experience with warheads, munitions, rocket motors, or other energetic systems.
• Experience with additive manufacturing, injection molding, or machine shop production, and with SolidWorks PDM.
• Data acquisition and Python or MATLAB for test data analysis.

Compensation: $115k-125k depending on experience
