Mechanical Engineer

We’re looking for our next Mechanical Engineer. At Bravo Team, you'll engage in projects blending customer needs with our strengths in engineering and tech.

Work in a space where mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering, mechatronics, and computer science converge to solve complex challenges.

Our end-to-end, in-house strategy ensures you're part of every project phase, delivering high-quality, innovative solutions.

We value deep experience and the ability to make hard problems look easy, all in a culture that thrives on collaboration and innovation.

Who We Are

Bravo Team LLC is an engineering design and fabrication company. Our newly renovated commercial building is located near downtown Cornelius.

This 16,500 sq. ft. facility includes a design studio, CAD workstations, an electronics lab, dedicated product assembly areas, open collaboration space, and meeting rooms.

Our fabrication shop is equipped with CNC mills, a CNC lathe and manual lathe, saws, a laser cutter, and grinding and welding capabilities.

As such, our engineers are empowered to go directly from a conceptualized design to collaborate with our full-time machinists to develop prototypes in-house.

This ability to quickly iterate design ideas and converge on a viable solution is further enhanced by our farm of FDM and SLA 3D printers.

Bravo Team is a team of Special Forces Engineers that work together to solve problems for our customers. If you can imagine it, chances are that we can make it.

The projects we like to take on are at the intersection of our customers' greatest needs and our greatest strengths. Bravo Team delivers on projects requiring a suite of design skills rooted in theoretical and practical knowledge of mechanical engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer science, and any technical discipline.

We do everything in-house, saving our clients’ time and money and ensuring that every project meets our quality standards.

We are wired to solve hard problems, so some of the most enjoyable projects require digging into hard-earned experience and making it look easy.

Our core purpose is to bring freedom through innovation.

Bravo Team's culture is deeply rooted in our core values, shaping every interaction and decision. We seek individuals who align with these principles and are committed to living them out daily.

Ideal candidates will demonstrate a genuine resonance with our values, ready to uphold and champion them within our team actively.
