Ya’ll hiring mechanical engineers?

TBH I wouldn't know because i'm not involved with the engineering side of the mission at all (i'm on the science side). But probably yes. The place to check is the JPL website, and if that fails then you could ask the lead engineers of the mission.

If I DM you, can you give me the contact info of the lead or hiring engineer?

I wouldn't even know who that is, i'm new to the mission

If you're really interested then my recommendation is you check out the hiring pages of the institutions that built each spacecraft instrument. this is a list of all the instruments and the labs that built and run them. Remember Curiosity is just one mission, NASA runs another more sophisticated rover Perseverance and also like a dozen other missions across the solar system, each of which has their own instruments and their own institutions.
