• Support and perform technical trade studies.
• Apply sound engineering practices to develop concepts using CAD and mature designs that meet system requirements.
• Support technical peer, table‑top, and internal/external design reviews.
• Create and maintain Technical Data Package (TDP) artifacts, including CAD models, drawings, bills of materials, and specifications.
• Communicate and collaborate effectively with design, analysis, and fabrication teams to resolve mechanical challenges.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from an ABET‑accredited university.
• BS + 4 years progressive engineering experience, or MS + 2 years.
• Proficient with structural design via CAD tools such as Solid Works, Creo, CATIA, or AutoCAD.
• Experience with drawing generation in accordance with ASME Y14.100 & Y14.5.
• Basic understanding and application of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and tolerance stack‑up analysis.
• Strong attention‑to‑detail, analytical thinking, and problem‑solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
