About the role
As a Mechanical Engineer at Westmag, you will lead the mechanical design of the drone motors and robotic actuators at the heart of our products. You will own the rotating machinery, bearing systems, gears, and transmissions that turn electromagnetic torque into reliable mechanical output, balancing performance, weight, and cost.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in drone, robotics, automotive, aerospace, or high-volume electromechanical products
- Industry experience with rotating machinery, including bearings, gears, or transmissions
- Hands-on knowledge of metal manufacturing methods such as milling, turning, stamping, and casting
- Demonstrated experience with DFM/A designing high-volume products
- Proficiency with CAD tools for mechanical design (e.g., SolidWorks, Onshape), including GD&T

You will own the rotating machinery, bearing systems, gears, and transmissions that turn electromagnetic torque into reliable mechanical output, balancing performance, weight, and cost. Working at the intersection of design and production, you will ensure every part you draw can be built at scale, and your work will directly shape Westmag's ability to ship millions of motors and actuators from U.S. factories.
Design and optimize the mechanical architecture of motors and actuators, including shafts, housings, bearing systems, gears, and transmissions.
Perform structural, tolerance stack-up, fatigue, and bearing support analyses to ensure durability and precision across the product's operating envelope.
