- Create detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using Creo, SolidWorks, or similar CAD software.
- Design plastic, sheet metal, cast, and machined components with consideration for manufacturability.
- Support prototype fabrication, assembly, testing, and design improvements.
- Perform structural and thermal analysis, including finite element analysis (FEA).
- Incorporate environmental protection, thermal management, and EMI shielding requirements into mechanical designs.
- Collaborate with electrical engineering teams to ensure proper integration of mechanical and electronic components.
- Conduct design reviews, verification testing, and engineering documentation.
- Develop bills of materials (BOMs) and coordinate with suppliers to support production.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- 5+ years of mechanical design engineering experience.
- Proficiency with 3D CAD software, preferably Creo or SolidWorks.
- Experience designing mechanical components for manufacturing and assembly.
- Strong understanding of mechanical systems, materials, structural analysis, and heat transfer.
- Experience with FEA tools and mechanical design verification.
- Hands-on experience with prototyping and product development.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
- Must be a U.S. Citizen.
Experience with ruggedized electronic enclosures, environmental testing, or aerospace and communications equipment is a plus.
