Job Description

Insight Global is seeking a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Accurate Landing Team, focused on the development of next-generation reentry and recovery systems.

Own mechanism development for:

o Parachute deployment systems

o Control actuation systems

o Drop test structures

Drive designs from concept through detailed CAD design, prototyping, manufacturing, and integration

Perform hand calculations and engineering analysis to inform design decisions

Lead design trades across performance, manufacturability, cost, and schedule

Support hands-on build activities including:

o Assembly

o Fit checks

o Integration troubleshooting

Participate in aerial drop test campaigns and support system validation

Qualify systems through environmental testing (vibration, shock, thermal, load)

Collaborate closely with manufacturing, technicians, supply chain, and external vendors

Generate and review engineering drawings and ensure adherence to GD&T standards
