Join TKM Unlimited as a Senior Mechanical Engineer

About Us:

At TKM Unlimited, we bring ideas to life. Our expertise spans product development, rapid prototyping, lab testing, production machining, and engineering consultation. We proudly serve industries including aerospace, construction, defense, industrial, and medical, while also developing innovative product lines of our own.

We are a small, collaborative team of hands-on problem solvers who thrive on rolling up our sleeves and learning through doing. If you share a passion for creative problem-solving and are excited about engineering challenges, we want you to join us as we continue to grow.

Your Role as a Senior Mechanical Engineer:

As a key member of our team, you will:

• Manage multiple projects simultaneously from concept to completion.
• Meet with clients to assess project feasibility and scope.
• Develop and communicate conceptual solutions through sketches and brainstorming.
• Design mechanical components and systems tailored to specific applications.
• Perform calculations to validate designs and select appropriate parts.
• Create 3D models using Autodesk Inventor and optimize/validate designs with FEA tools.
• Produce machining and assembly drawings with accurate tolerances.
• Assist in fabricating and testing proof-of-concept equipment.
• Provide limited customer training and field support for new implementations.
• Prepare and maintain project budgets and schedules.
• Act as a technical expert in a specialized area (e.g., PLC programming, hydraulics, or data acquisition).
• Mentor and provide limited management for junior engineers.

What We're Looking For:

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering.
• 5 years of experience in designing mechanical components and systems.
• Proficiency with Autodesk Inventor and FEA tools.
• Excellent communication and time management skills.
• Flexibility to adapt to evolving project requirements and schedules.
• Hands-on experience with testing and troubleshooting equipment.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and their design constraints.
• Ability to create detailed assembly drawings with proper tolerances.
• Familiarity with hydraulic, pneumatic, and electromechanical systems, including actuators, pumps, valves, and flow measurement devices.
• Proficiency in reading and creating schematics (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.).
• Experience in analyzing and interpreting test data.
• Competence in mechanical analysis calculations (e.g., thread stress, pressure drop, power consumption).
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Ability to work in the US & receive domestically controlled information.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or progression toward obtaining one (passed FE/EIT exam).
• Experience with AutoCAD for drafting.
• Hands-on skills in manual/CNC machining, welding, and fabrication.
• 3D printing expertise.
• Capability to fabricate prototype parts and systems with minimal guidance.
• Experience with PLC programming and automation.
• Familiarity with data acquisition hardware and software.

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation, commensurate with experience.
• Comprehensive health insurance.
• Flexible work hours to suit your personal needs.
• Opportunities for professional development and training.
