Mechanical Engineer IV - Intermodal Container

Job Description This position requires that you must be a US Citizen for consideration and meet all Federal Contractor employee requirements. Nomad GCS does not support the H1B Visa for this position. Position: Mechanical Engineer IV - Intermodal Container Division: Innovative Solutions Group Department: Mechanical Engineering Status: Full-Time Overview: Nomad Global Communications Solutions is a leading provider of communication and response products serving a wide variety of customers. Our purpose is to be the solution when every minute matters. We seek a candidate that is self-inspired to learn and demonstrates a high degree of customer service while positively contributing to our team. Mechanical Engineers (ME) work is a critical function in the engineering process, being responsible for taking designs from concept through full production documentation. Accuracy and completeness must be maintained through all levels of design to provide complete Bill of Materials (BOMs) and production worthy CAD models/ drawings to the manufacturing teams. All ME deliverables must meet or exceed Nomad Global Communication Solutions’ standards of excellence. This role also requires progressively deeper expertise in intermodal freight container design, including container structures, interfaces, modifications, and the consistent use of freight-container terminology defined in ISO 830. Mechanical Engineers must apply practical engineering science and technologies to designs. These include application of fluid mechanics, materials, structures, dynamics, basic electrical theory, and machine component design. Expertise in raw material selection, manufacturing processes (welding, machining, & sheet metal), quality control, and concentration on cost mitigation are also core required competencies. Depending on level (I-V), Engineers progress from learning foundational engineering practices and supporting designs to independently leading complex platform architectures, mentoring others, and driving technical strategy across the organization. Career Growth: Mechanical Engineers at Nomad GCS progress through five levels based on demonstrated technical mastery, independence, leadership, and impact. Advancement is supported through mentorship, project ownership, and alignment with Nomad’s Core Values. Organizational Structure: Nomad Engineering is organized into Teams and Disciplines within the Innovative Solutions Division. Teams: Team 1 (Standards and Modularity): Builds and maintains engineering standards, modules, templates, and rules enabling repeatability and scale. Team 2 (Design): Executes project-level engineering using established standards and less complex custom configurations. Team 3 (Advanced): Develops novel systems and resolves first-of-kind engineering challenges. Team 4 (Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering): Ensures manufacturability, safety, engineering intent, efficiency, and continuous improvement throughout Production. Disciplines: Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering IT Engineering Human Factors Engineering Software Engineering A Mechanical Engineer may be temporarily assigned to one or more of the four Teams. These teams include Standards & Modularity, Design Engineering, Advanced Engineering, and/or Manufacturing & Industrial Engineering. Core Responsibilities - All Levels: Design, develop, and support mechanical systems for Nomad platforms. Technical Design & Engineering Design, analyze, and develop ISO shipping containers, specialized cargo containers, and intermodal transport systems in compliance with applicable international standards and customer requirements. Create detailed 3D models, fabrication drawings, and engineering documentation using CAD software. Perform structural analyses, load calculations, fatigue assessments, and finite element analysis (FEA) to validate designs under transportation, lifting, stacking, and environmental loads. Design and integrate automated lifting mechanisms, roof systems, acce…
