PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES/AUTHORITY

Requirements and Design Definition:

Interpret customer specifications, statements of work, interface requirements, and environmental conditions; establish traceable design inputs, concepts, architecture, interfaces, and verification methods.

Product Design:

Develop robust mechanical and electromechanical designs for assigned product families, including materials, seals, springs, actuators, interfaces, fasteners, connectors, and packaging appropriate to pressure, flow, temperature, vibration, life, and environmental requirements.

CAD and Technical Data:

Create and maintain accurate 3D models, layouts, detail and assembly drawings, specifications, bills of material, interface data, and design documentation using applicable drafting, GD&T, and configuration-control requirements.

Engineering Analysis:

Perform or coordinate pressure, flow, stress, deflection, fatigue, thermal, tolerance-stack, material, reliability, and similarity analyses appropriate to the design; document assumptions, margins, and conclusions.

Risk Management:

Lead or support DFMEAs, design reviews, trade studies, reliability assessments, and risk-retirement plans; identify critical characteristics and translate design risk into verification and manufacturing controls.

Verification and Qualification:

Develop and execute development, qualification, similarity, and acceptance test plans and reports; define test fixtures and instrumentation, analyze results, resolve failures, and demonstrate compliance with customer requirements.

NPI and Production Support:

Partner with Manufacturing and Quality Engineering on DFM/DFA, prototypes, first articles, production readiness, supplier technical issues, test failures, nonconformances, and sustainable corrective actions.

Configuration and Change Control:

Prepare and process engineering releases and changes; maintain design baselines and ensure drawings, specifications, BOMs, ERP records, and supporting analyses remain accurate and aligned.

Project Execution:

Plan and execute assigned design projects, manage technical actions and risks, communicate status, support customer and supplier reviews, and meet performance, cost, schedule, and documentation commitments.

Authority:

Make design decisions within assigned scope and approved requirements; identify unacceptable technical risk and elevate matters requiring Design Authority, MRB, customer, or management approval.

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

• Provide technical concepts, compliance assessments, estimates, assumptions, and risk input for RFQs and proposals.
• Support MRB and failure investigations with technically justified analysis while preserving applicable design and customer approval authority.
• Research materials, components, manufacturing methods, standards, and emerging technologies; recommend practical product and lifecycle improvements.
• Mentor junior engineers and drafters and check assigned technical work for accuracy, completeness, and configuration consistency.
• Perform other related duties consistent with the position and business needs.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Category Representative Measures Technical Performance Requirements compliance, analysis quality, design margins, test results, reliability, and closure of technical risks. Design Quality Drawing and BOM accuracy, design-review closure, engineering-change quality, and avoidance of preventable design escapes. Schedule and Execution On-time engineering milestones, qualification progress, action closure, and timely production or customer support. Cost and Manufacturability Design-to-cost performance, DFM/DFA outcomes, part-count or complexity reduction, and lifecycle improvements. Collaboration Responsiveness, documentation quality, mentoring, and effective cross-functional, customer, and supplier communication.

EDUCATION

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline from an accredited program is required.

EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS

Required:

• Three to six years of mechanical or electromechanical product-design experience in aerospace, defense, fluid controls, industrial equipment, or another high-reliability regulated environment.
• Demonstrated experience designing or manufacturing at least one relevant product family, such as valves, actuators, pressure switches, fluid fittings, mechanisms, hydraulic or pneumatic hardware, harnesses, connectors, PCB-integrated assemblies, or comparable products.
• Proficiency creating production-ready 3D models, detail drawings, assembly drawings, and BOMs using SolidWorks, Inventor, or comparable CAD software.
• Working knowledge of GD&T and ASME Y14.5, tolerance analysis, materials and finishes, fits, fasteners, sealing methods, and mechanical design principles.
• Ability to perform and document relevant engineering calculations and to plan, support, and report development or qualification testing.
• Experience with DFMEA, formal design reviews, requirements verification, root-cause analysis, and controlled engineering changes.
• Clear technical writing, project execution, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills.
• Ability to satisfy applicable export-control requirements and obtain required customer or facility access.

Preferred:

• Direct experience with hydraulic, pneumatic, or fuel-system components, including pressure, flow, leakage, thermal, vibration, shock, or life-cycle requirements.
• Experience with solenoids, springs, seals, bearings, precision-machined components, exotic alloys, electrical connectors, or PCB/mechanical integration.
• Experience with FEA, CFD, reliability prediction, or engineering-analysis software and with aerospace or military environmental qualification standards.
• Familiarity with AS9100, first-article inspection, configuration management, and customer-controlled technical data.

PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS
