Full Job Description

Aerospace is at a turning point — costs are rising, supply chains are strained, and old ways of building can’t keep up. At Neon Aero, we’re breaking that mold. We move fast, think big, and combine start-up agility with aerospace expertise to design, build, and scale aircraft in ways the industry has never seen. Our team leverages automation, AI-driven tools, and a fully connected digital backbone to accelerate innovation and reduce barriers to production. Here, you won’t just take a job — you’ll help reinvent how the world flies. If you’re ready to solve complex problems, push technology further, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in aerospace, this is your chance to make a real impact. Neon Aero is looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to lead the design and integration of complex mechanical and electromechanical systems for next-generation hardware. You’ll work across high-performance domains- positioning, propulsion, environmental control, energy management, and related technologies—supporting programs in aerospace, advanced mobility, robotics, and transportation. This is a hands-on, highly collaborative role for an engineer who loves turning requirements into production-intent hardware that scales. You’ll help architect robust systems, drive design into manufacturable solutions, and push hardware from concept → prototype → industrialization → shipment. Why This Role Matters: In this role, you’ll be a key driver of system-level execution—owning critical subsystems and making early decisions that determine whether hardware ships on time, at cost, and at quality. You will: Lead mechanical system design and integration across complex, multi-domain programs. Own a subsystem end-to-end, from architecture and concept to production release. Design and develop mechanical/electromechanical assemblies in Siemens NX (required). Drive early DFM, DFA, DFAuto, and DFC decisions to ensure designs scale to production.
