• 3+ years of mechanical engineering experience, including tooling, fixture, or mechanical equipment design within the aerospace, aviation, defense, or similarly complex manufacturing industry.
• Experience developing 3D CAD models, detailed engineering drawings, and released design documentation.
• Experience performing dimensional and tolerance stack-up analyses.
• Experience working with large or complex mechanical assemblies.
• Experience supporting multidisciplinary engineering, manufacturing, and product development teams.
• Proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and ASME Y14 standards.
• Ability to interpret complex engineering drawings, specifications, interfaces, and technical requirements.
• Strong technical problem-solving skills with the ability to independently resolve complex design and manufacturing challenges.
• Ability to manage multiple engineering tasks, priorities, and deliverables with limited oversight.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams.
• Sound engineering judgment and attention to detail.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required.
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Nice To Haves
