We are currently seeking a highly skilled and experienced Mechanical Design Engineer to
contribute to the design and development of mechanical components and systems for our products
– particularly with defense programs. The successful candidate will play a crucial role in ensuring
the reliability and performance of mechanical systems, from concept through to production,
including re-engineering existing products to meet customer requirements and specifications.
Duties/Responsibilities
• Design and development of mechanical components, systems, and assemblies using CAD
software.
• Generate detailed 2D and 3D drawings, models, and prototypes.
• Perform engineering calculations and simulations to validate design concepts and make
data-driven decisions.
• Conduct stress analysis, thermal analysis, and other relevant simulations.
• Create and oversee the fabrication of prototypes for testing and validation purposes.
• Analyze test results and iterate on designs to improve performance and reliability.
• Develop and implement quality control procedures to ensure product reliability and
consistency.
• Participate in design reviews and design failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA).
• Ensure that designs comply with relevant safety and industry regulations, and MIL
standards.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including program management, and electrical,
software and systems engineers, to ensure successful project execution.
• Work closely with procurement team to optimize the cost of materials and manufacturing
processes.
• Identify and resolve technical issues and challenges related to mechanical design, both
independently and as part of a team.
• Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in mechanical
engineering to drive continuous improvement in our designs.
Required Skills/Abilities
• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD, CATIA).
• Strong knowledge of materials, manufacturing processes, and mechanical analysis tools.
• Hands-on familiarity with mechanical simulation software and tools.
• Knowledge of defense industry regulations and standards.
Education and Experience
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. Master's degree preferred.
• Demonstrated experience in mechanical design engineering, preferably with defense
programs such as missile systems and loitering munitions.
• Must be a U.S. person as defined by 22 U.S.C. § 6010
