About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer 3 researches, analyzes, designs, and tests component parts, processes, or systems to develop new or improve core products in the cable product line. The role develops and recommends solutions for complex or specialized engineering requirements while meeting design objectives, program scope, cost, and schedule constraints. The engineer applies principles from the assigned engineering domain and works with engineering project managers or cross-functional teams on programs serving the defense, aerospace, and energy markets. The position may include regular customer and supplier interaction. The engineer applies the engineering design process to develop conceptual and detailed cable product specifications, evaluates design factors and requirements, uses scientific analysis and mathematical models, interprets test results, and develops product validation and verification procedures. The role also contributes to project milestones, prepares technical documentation, reviews specifications, addresses design deficiencies, supports existing products, shares specialized knowledge, and may mentor new employees or represent the company on specific projects. The position is based with Parker Aerospace Group’s Simi Valley Fire, Safety, and Power Division. The role requires a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or an acceptable electrical or aerospace engineering degree, at least seven years of mechanical engineering experience, and at least five years of aerospace industry experience. A master’s degree is preferred. The position may require occasional travel and is subject to U.S. export compliance and/or government contracting citizenship eligibility requirements.
