Aerospace -Mechanical Design Engineer

We have a great opportunity to join an Aerospace company in the city of Corona as a Mechanical Design Engineer. (Must meet ITAR compliance and have Aerospace experience.)

• Perform product testing and analyze failures to identify root causes and recommend effective design improvements.
• Evaluate product feasibility and contribute to design concept development from initial idea through final execution.
• Interpret engineering sketches, technical drawings, and specifications to determine design requirements including dimensions, tolerances, materials, and functional fit.
• Collaborate closely with production, engineering, and sales teams to ensure product performance, manufacturability, and design intent are achieved.
• Develop detailed layout sketches and perform engineering calculations involving dimensions, angles, weights, surface areas, clearances, and load requirements.
• Analyze mechanical forces including tension, compression, and bending to ensure components are designed for operational durability and reliability.
• Create detailed multi‑view drawings of parts and assemblies, including specifications such as gear ratios, bearing loads, and motion interactions.
• Modify and optimize designs to improve performance, reduce manufacturing issues, and enhance overall product efficiency.
• Inspect and measure components and machinery prior to production to ensure compliance with engineering specifications and quality standards.
• Utilize CAD and computer‑aided drafting software to design, model, and refine mechanical components and assemblies.
• Lead and coordinate design reviews, engineering discussions, and technical meetings with cross‑functional teams.
• Develop manufacturing‑ready drawings from initial concept through final production release.
• Partner with suppliers to resolve production challenges and support new product development initiatives.
• Communicate technical information clearly to customers, engineers, and sales teams, providing engineering support as needed.
• Prepare and deliver technical presentations for both internal stakeholders and external clients.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering discipline required.

• 3–7+ years of experience in mechanical design, product development, or manufacturing engineering preferred.
• Experience working with product testing, failure analysis, and design validation.
• Background in manufacturing environments or production support strongly preferred.
• Experience collaborating with cross‑functional teams including production, sales, and suppliers.

• Proficiency in CAD software (Solid Works, AutoCAD, Inventor, or equivalent).
• Strong understanding of mechanical design principles, materials, and manufacturing processes.
• Ability to perform engineering calculations related to loads, stress, tolerances, and motion.
• Knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• Familiarity with machining, fabrication, and assembly processes.

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with attention to detail.
• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings and technical specifications.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Ability to lead design reviews and present technical information clearly.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
• Team‑oriented mindset with ability to work independently when needed.

You should be proficient in:

• Mechanical Testing
• CAD/CAM Software
