• Support aerospace mechanical design efforts by developing 3D models, detailed drawings, and mechanical assemblies from concept through release using Solid Works.
• Design simple to complex mechanical parts, housings, brackets, fixtures, and electronic packaging assemblies that meet program, manufacturing, and integration requirements.
• Apply sound engineering principles in mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and materials to support reliable mechanical designs for aerospace applications.
• Perform basic stress, thermal, fit, form, and function assessments and interpret analysis results to identify design risks, margins, and improvement opportunities.
• Support multidisciplinary engineering teams by translating electrical, thermal, structural, and packaging requirements into practical mechanical design solutions.

• Create, update, and maintain Solid Works 3D models, assemblies, and engineering drawings for mechanical parts, electronic packaging, and aerospace hardware.
• Support design reviews by preparing technical data, reviewing drawing packages, checking dimensions, and resolving mechanical design comments.
• Perform basic stress, thermal, tolerance, and packaging assessments to verify that mechanical designs meet performance and integration requirements.
• Coordinate with electrical, systems, manufacturing, and program staff to ensure mechanical designs support hardware layout, cable routing, cooling, assembly, and installation needs.
• Support prototype build, inspection, troubleshooting, and test activities by resolving mechanical fit, fabrication, assembly, and documentation issues.

• Requires a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Structural Engineering, or Mechatronics Engineering.
• Solidworks certification, FEA/CFD certifications and/or trainings preferred.
• 1-5 years:
  Working in an engineering team environment with proven experience in delivering high quality design in support of programs.
• 1-5 years:
  Proficient with Solid Works for 3D modeling, mechanical assemblies, detailed drawings, configurations, and design documentation.
• 1-5 years:
  Working knowledge of thermodynamics, heat transfer, mechanics of materials, stress analysis, tolerance analysis, and interpretation of engineering data.
• 1-5 years:
  Ability to communicate technical issues clearly, work in a multidisciplinary team, and support aerospace hardware design, fabrication, integration, and testing.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
