Overview

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to act as a subject-matter expert supporting diverse engineering and manufacturing programs. This role contributes to product design, development, and optimization efforts across aerospace, automotive, and defense-related projects. You will help shape future engineering and manufacturing strategies while supporting customers through technical guidance and solution development.

• Lead the creation and refinement of 3D Technical Data Packages (TDPs) to support part procurement and manufacturing.
• Analyze production processes, control plans, schedules, and manufacturing methods to determine future needs.
• Participate in audits to evaluate supplier capabilities and alignment with design requirements.
• Work cross-functionally with supply chain, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve design, manufacturing, and procurement challenges.
• Support initiatives in Industry 4.0, digital factory development, model-based enterprise, advanced manufacturing, and additive manufacturing.
• Produce accurate technical documentation, including analyses, reports, and engineering presentations.
• Review manufacturing instructions and processes to identify improvements in efficiency and quality.
• Develop strategy documentation and standardized processes to streamline TDP development.
• Provide real-time engineering support to suppliers on feasibility and manufacturability questions.
• Evaluate production run results to validate “as-designed” versus “as-manufactured” outcomes.
• Work closely with program management, technical teams, and customer groups to achieve project milestones.
• Solve technical issues, manage deliverables, and take ownership of corrective actions.
• Collaborate with end users to diagnose and resolve engineering challenges.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering, or Industrial Engineering.
