Mechanical Design Engineer Aerospace and Defense

ADI’s Aerospace and Defense (ADEF) business focuses on three key technology areas:
Data‑Converters, Radio Frequency (RF), and Micro‑Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). ADEF is a recognized leader providing forward‑thinking designs that meet tomorrow’s needs ther for discreet components or subsystems, ADEF disrupts the defense industry and redefines conflict on land, sea, and air. The aerospace resurgence brings the physical world closer than ever before with smarter, faster, more interactive access through innovative technology such as eVTOL and autonomy.
