What are the responsibilities and job description for the Precision Mechanical Design Engineer — AS9100 Manufacturing position at Rand Aerospace and Defense?
Role Overview
Picture your day: you open a SolidWorks model to refine a critical component, run a tolerance stack, and push a prototype through its paces to confirm performance. By midday, you’re huddled with manufacturing, quality, and procurement to align on materials, cost, and schedule. In the afternoon, you document design updates, verify that every requirement meets customer specifications and industry standards, and close the loop on action items to keep the project on track. If that sounds like your kind of rhythm, you’ll thrive here.
As a key contributor on our engineering team, you will design, analyze, and improve mechanical systems and components for diverse, fast-moving projects—bridging product development with production to deliver reliable, efficient, and compliant solutions.
