Mechanical Design Engineer II
On-siteFull-timeMechanical EngineeringDefense Manufacturing
Design and improve moderately complex mechanical subsystems for advanced defense products. The role covers CAD modeling, engineering analysis, drawings, testing, manufacturing collaboration, and product lifecycle changes.
Responsibilities
- Develop mechanical subsystem designs that meet product requirements and cost targets.
- Create and review drawings with functional dimensioning, GD&T, and ASME Y14.5 compliance.
- Perform tolerance stack analyses and engineering analyses using appropriate simulation tools.
- Process engineering change orders and release or revise parts, assemblies, and product records through PLM systems.
- Create test plans, support testing, analyze test data, and prepare reports and recommendations.
- Lead design-for-manufacturing reviews and identify opportunities to reduce part costs.
- Evaluate inspection data and assess supplier non-conformances.
- Manage intellectual property activities, including patent searches, applications, and trade studies.
- Collaborate with design, manufacturing, quality, assembly, product management, suppliers, and test teams.
- Support continuous improvement, 5S standards, technical information, and R&D engineering practices.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- Three to six years of engineering experience in an R&D environment.
- Proficiency with CAD software for parametric solid models, assemblies, and engineering drawings.
- Experience with mechanical analysis such as FEA, kinematic and dynamic motion, CFD, or heat transfer.
- Knowledge of GD&T, ASME Y14.5, functional dimensioning, inspection methods, and tolerance stack analysis.
- Understanding of mechanical assembly techniques and manufacturing methods.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively with limited guidance.
- Ability to travel infrequently and comply with safety, PPE, ISO, and EH&S requirements.
Nice to have
- SolidWorks and PLM experience, including Agile.
- Tolerance stack analysis software experience.
- Experience with firearms or related products.
- Experience with relevant manufacturing processes, materials, heat treatment, and coatings.
