About The Position

Applied Technology Solutions, Inc. (ATS) is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support the complete system design lifecycle, from requirements definition through manufacturing and integration. The role works with an interdisciplinary team of analysts, systems engineers, designers, and manufacturing engineers to develop and document mechanical systems and components using design for manufacturing (DFM) principles.

The Mechanical Engineer creates 3D models, detailed engineering drawings, components, and large assemblies using SolidWorks. Engineering work products must meet customer requirements and applicable design standards, as well as ATS policies and procedures for documentation, peer review, and configuration management.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
• Minimum of 4 years of experience creating 3D models and engineering drawings using SolidWorks.
• Demonstrated experience designing individual components and large assemblies in SolidWorks.
• Experience using product data management (PDM) systems for version control and design documentation.
• Demonstrated ability to perform engineering calculations to support design decisions.
• Experience applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) in accordance with ASME Y14.5.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively within an interdisciplinary engineering design team.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Currently possess or have the ability to obtain Security Clearance.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national.

Nice To Haves

• 8 or more years of experience performing mechanical design tasks using SolidWorks 3D CAD software.
• Experience documenting product and manufacturing information (PMI) using model-based definition (MBD).
• Familiarity with military standards and Department of Defense (DoD) practices, including MIL-STD-130.
• Experience performing finite element analysis (FEA).
• Experience designing components for high-rate production exceeding 500 units per year.
• Experience designing composite structures.
• Experience designing components for additive manufacturing, particularly metal additive manufacturing.
• Demonstrated experience collaborating with production and manufacturing vendors to incorporate practical manufacturing limitations and production efficiencies into component designs.
• Demonstrated experience supporting systems engineering activities for defense systems.
• Experience using model-based systems engineering (MBSE) tools, such as Cameo.

Responsibilities

• Support the mechanical design lifecycle, including requirements definition, detailed design, manufacturing support, and system integration.
• Develop 3D CAD models and engineering drawings for mechanical components, large assemblies, and systems using SolidWorks.
• Apply design for manufacturing (DFM) principles to account for manufacturing requirements and practical production considerations.
• Perform engineering calculations to evaluate design options and support technical decisions.
• Collaborate with analysts, systems engineers, designers, and manufacturing engineers to develop and document integrated design solutions.
• Apply geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) in accordance with ASME Y14.5.
• Use product data management (PDM) systems to maintain version control and manage design documentation.
• Prepare and maintain engineering documentation in accordance with applicable design standards and customer application requirements.
• Participate in design and peer reviews, incorporating feedback into engineering work products.
• Follow ATS policies and procedures for engineering documentation, peer review, and configuration management.
