NX Design Engineer, Gas Turbine Propulsion Orange County, CA • U.S. Persons Only THE OPPORTUNITY The company is developing compact gas turbine engines built to hit demanding performance targets at a fraction of the size and cost of legacy designs. This is a hands-on role for a design engineer who can take a mechanical design from a blank sheet through to a producible part - someone who is genuinely excellent at CAD (NX strongly preferred), with a real track record of designing complex mechanical assemblies, ideally backed by a portfolio or patents that show what they've owned. Direct experience with rotating machinery, turbomachinery, or jet engines is a real plus and helps you ramp quickly, but the core bar is CAD depth and assembly-design ownership in a lean, fast-moving environment where engineers cover more ground than they would at a larger company. No new-grad or intern-level openings at this time. Must be a U.S. person. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Own engine components...
