About Mach Industries

Founded in 2023, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 350 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition.

Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.

The Role

Mach Industries is seeking an early-career engineer to support technical coordination across multiple programs. In this deputy chief engineer role, you’ll help teams identify and resolve cross-program interfaces, communicate technical decisions, and keep engineering work aligned. This is a hands-on growth role for someone with 2–3 years of experience, not a traditional senior aerospace chief engineer position. You’ll work closely with experienced technical leaders and build a broad understanding of how complex hardware programs fit together.

Key Responsibilities

Coordinate engineering interfaces and dependencies across programs and disciplines.
Help teams communicate requirements, assumptions, design changes, and technical decisions.
Track cross-program risks, open questions, and action items; help drive them to resolution.
Support technical reviews, integration planning, and program-level engineering discussions.
Identify conflicts or gaps between subsystem designs and bring the right people together to resolve them.
Prepare clear technical summaries and maintain interface and decision documentation.
Build working relationships across engineering, manufacturing, test, and program teams.
Support critical project milestones, including extended hours or weekends when needed.

Required Qualifications

2–3 years of experience in engineering, technical program integration, or a related field.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Strong communication and organizational skills, including the ability to make technical information clear to different audiences.
Ability to work across teams, follow through on open issues, and manage competing priorities.
Interest in complex hardware development and cross-disciplinary engineering.

Preferred Qualifications

Experience supporting hardware development, systems integration, or engineering program reviews.
Familiarity with CAD, engineering documentation, or requirements and interface tracking.
Experience working with multidisciplinary teams in a fast-moving environment.

Additional Requirements

Available to work extended hours and weekends as needed.
