Job DescriptionThe Mechanical Design subject matter expert will serve as the technical authority for the Advanced Programs team with a focus on mechanical part designs. The ME SME will lead complex mechanical design efforts, drive integration of structures, mechanisms, and ensure that designs meet performance, reliability, producibility, and cost targets. Our team operates at the forefront of technology, tasked with creating capabilities that do not yet exist.
In this position you will collaborate closely with design teams to embed Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles into every mechanical-engineering project. By applying extensive hands-on machining experience and advanced engineering expertise, you will ensure that designs are cost-effective, high-quality, and suitable for high-volume production while preserving performance and reliability. You will possess a strong grasp of NC machining programs and will continuously elevate design standards across both traditional and emerging manufacturing technologies.
