The position operates with significant independence, receiving assignments in the form of objectives and establishing goals to meet those objectives, while contributing directly to the organizations technical and programmatic success.Responsibilities

Perform structural design of mechanical systems and components using SolidWorks CAD software.
Create parts and assemblies in CAD and develop fully detailed 2D drawings suitable for production and inspection.
Generate engineering drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.100 and ASME Y14.5 standards to ensure proper documentation and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
Produce complete technical data packages in accordance with applicable military standards (MIL-STD) for use by manufacturing, quality, and customers.
Conduct feasibility studies and design analyses on new and modified mechanical designs to verify performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Complete trade studies and perform commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) component research to support effective component selection and system optimization.
Apply knowledge of Mil-Spec fasteners and materials to ensure robust, compliant mechanical designs.
Design weldments and incorporate weldment best practices into structural and mechanical assemblies.
Provide design information and guidance to drafting personnel for packaging and documentation of mechanical systems.
Direct and support personnel involved in detailed design, design testing, and prototype fabrication activities.
Collaborate with production teams to transition designs into hardware and support build and assembly processes as needed.
Assist with hardware integration and installation activities, ensuring proper fit, function, and alignment of mechanical components and systems.
Work with testing teams to support test planning and execution, helping to put hardware into action and resolve mechanical issues identified during testing.
Analyze data and technical information to evaluate design options, identify risks, and recommend solutions within established practices and policies.
Exercise independent judgment in selecting methods and techniques to achieve design and project objectives.
Interact frequently with external customers and functional peer groups, presenting technical information on specific projects, schedules, and design decisions.
Contribute to the development of organizational goals and objectives through sound engineering decisions and timely completion of design work.
