What are the responsibilities and job description for the Mechanical Designer - Aerospace position at Lynn Rodens?
Mechanical Designer (3 Openings) – Aerospace
We're seeking experienced Mechanical Designers to join a growing engineering team supporting the design, development, and modernization of advanced aircraft systems. This is a long-term onsite contract (12 months) offering the opportunity to work on high-profile aerospace programs in a collaborative, hands-on environment.
In this role, you'll use SolidWorks to design and model mechanical systems, aircraft structures, and components while creating detailed 2D/3D drawings, layouts, and engineering documentation. You'll partner with cross-functional engineering teams to improve product performance, manufacturability, and compliance, while supporting prototyping, design reviews, production, installation, and testing. You'll also perform tolerance stack-ups, develop bills of materials (BOMs), and ensure designs meet FAA, AS9100, and engineering standards.
