Mechanical Engineer

Overview

PA is an innovation and transformation consultancy. Our US Engineering group designs highly integrated electromechanical systems, partnering with global clients across industries to develop solutions to vexing business challenges. We value curiosity, intellectual honesty and integrity, and foster a culture that blends continuous development, flexibility, risk-taking, and collaboration.

We honor engineering and teach it generously. We seek individuals who are passionate about engineering principles, applied science, mathematics, analytical thinking, and experimentation, and who can turn inventive ideas into innovative products. You will communicate effectively with team members and external partners, and contribute to enduring partnerships based on transparency, trust, and mutual respect.

You speak the truth, even when it’s difficult.

• Sketch, design, build, analyze, validate, and refine robust mechanical and electromechanical designs for low volumes through mass production — on paper, through physical prototyping, and in 3D CAD.
• Collaborate within cross-disciplinary teams to conduct research, brainstorm, prototype, test, analyze, document, and present work to clients.
• Develop and refine the skills to deliver client solutions from low volume to mass production.

What you bring to the table

• BS or MS in mechanical engineering or a related field and 2+ years' experience in an engineering or design-related industry.
• Experience solving tough problems within one or more of the following areas: mechatronics, structural design, dynamics, thermal engineering, fluid dynamics, optics, controls, acoustics, precision mechanical systems, product engineering, and design for manufacturing. A broad range is a plus.
• Experience with 3D modeling CAD (Solidworks preferred) and engineering analysis tools (Python, Mat Lab, FEA tools, etc).

We look forward to hearing from you. In your cover letter, please tell us why you would like to work with the PA engineering team. A portfolio or selected work examples will help with proper consideration.
