Mechanical Systems Engineer

$94k - $144k
Full-time

Altitude Aerospace

Mechanical Systems Engineer
Location: On-Site, Bothell, WA | Salary: $94,000 to $144,000 per year, based on level | Employment: Full-time, 6+ months

WHO WE ARE
Altitude Aerospace delivers engineering and certification solutions for commercial and VIP aircraft programs worldwide. With FAA DER, EASA DOA, and TCCA DAO approvals, we support customers from concept through certification and in-service. Our 150+ person team across the US, Canada, and France works on programs for major OEMs and completion centers globally. We offer 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, SIMPLE IRA retirement plan, paid vacation and PTO, and 8 paid holidays.

THE ROLE
You will work on aircraft mechanical systems: environmental control systems (ECS), water and waste, and oxygen. The current program is early and partly conceptual, so you will help shape the design, not just document it. We are hiring at the mid and senior levels.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
Mid Level
  • Create drawings and schematics for ECS, water and waste, and oxygen systems.
  • Work fairly complex system designs through to finished drawings.
Senior Level
  • Lead system level design and work through dependencies with other teams.
  • Lead and support more junior engineers.
  • Research possible solutions and turn customer requirements into design level solutions on an early stage program.
All Levels
  • Work closely with the electrical, monuments, and other engineering groups your systems touch.
  • Communicate clearly about the assumptions you are making and how your work affects other areas. Strong cross team communication is central to this role.
  • Use Autodesk Inventor, Vault, and PLM 360 (now Autodesk Fusion Manage).
Impact: Only a handful of companies in the world complete VIP interiors on wide body aircraft. Every program is custom built, so you won't get stuck doing the same thing over and over.

WHAT YOU BRING
Required
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or related field
  • Mid level: 3+ years of mechanical systems design experience. Senior level: 7+ years, including system level design and leading other engineers.
  • Aircraft mechanical systems experience is ideal. Transferable experience also counts, such as hydraulics or ECS on non aircraft systems, if you can jump in and get your hands dirty quickly.
  • 3D CAD experience. Inventor is a plus.
  • Strong communication and cross discipline collaboration skills
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident and able to perform this work within the United States
  • Able to work onsite in the Bothell, WA area
Preferred
  • Direct experience with aircraft ECS, water and waste, or oxygen systems
  • VIP or business jet completions background
  • Early stage or conceptual design experience
WHY ALTITUDE
  • Real Programs: Work on some of the most bespoke VIP aircraft interior programs in the industry
  • Niche Expertise: Build deep experience in a specialized mechanical systems discipline
  • Team Culture: An open, collaborative team where questions are welcome and your input is valued
  • Room to Grow: Potential to continue onto a major new program starting in 2027
CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT
  • Onsite role in the Bothell, WA area
  • Background check and drug screen required
  • ITAR eligibility required: U.S. citizen or permanent resident, work performed within the United States
  • W2 employment with Altitude Aerospace

Altitude Aerospace is an equal opportunity employer.
