Job Duties:

Design, prototype, and test new products, systems, or components from concept through production readiness.
Conduct research to identify emerging technologies, materials, and processes that enhance product performance or reduce cost.
Tap into market research to understand industry needs, market gaps.
Plan and execute experiments, document results, and present findings to company stakeholders and leaders.
Develop models, drawings, and technical documentation to support designs.
Analyze test data and iterate on designs to meet performance, safety, and regulatory requirements.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to transition designs into production.
Troubleshoot technical issues, propose solutions, and drive implementation.
Maintain awareness of industry trends and recommend opportunities for innovation.
Ensure compliance with relevant standards, policies, and safety guidelines.
Support business development efforts with definition of new products and solutions, write proposals and grants.

Skills + Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related Engineering field (Master’s degree preferred).
5+ years of engineering experience in product development or research.
Proven ability to work independently, set priorities, and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail and the ability to determine ROI.
Self-starter with critical thinking skills, common sense, curiosity and a passion for innovation.
Proficiency in CAD software and engineering tools (e.g., SolidWorks, MATLAB, or similar).
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for technical reporting and cross-team collaboration.
Good organizational skills and attention to detail.
Ability to multitask.
Combination of office, lab, and hands-on prototyping environments.
May require occasional travel for testing, field trials, or vendor collaboration.
Comfortable standing, walking, and lifting boxes up to 50 lbs.

MMA also values:

Strong sense of ownership.
Creative and resourceful problem solvers.
Collaborative team players with a good work ethic.
Focus on excellence.
