Full Job Description
In this role, you will support and lead mechanical design efforts that shape aerospace structures, mechanisms, and systems from concept through delivery. You will contribute to design definition, perform engineering analyses, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and support manufacturing and testing activities. Your work will help deliver robust, producible designs that meet customer, program, and mission requirements.
Responsibilities
Supports mechanical design activities for structures, mechanisms, and mechanical systems aligned with customer requirements.
Creates 2-D layouts and 3-D solid models to define conceptual and detailed designs.
Performs basic mechanical engineering calculations and analyses to validate safe system operation.
Identifies off-the-shelf components, evaluates suppliers, and supports procurement as required.
Assists in system-level design efforts by owning design of subsystems and components.
Documents performance requirements, test procedures, test reports, and compliance evidence.
Reviews designs for cost, manufacturability, and quality assurance considerations.
Develops engineering drawings, bills of materials, manufacturing requirements, and inspection specifications.
Supports manufacturing, assembly, quality assurance, testing, and deployment throughout the product lifecycle.
Supports proposal preparation, presentations, and business development activities.
Supports bench and field testing of mechanical elements and systems.
Mentors junior engineers and provides technical guidance.
Required Qualifications
