Responsibilities

• Own the design and development of hardware through the entire engineering design lifecycle: establishing design criteria, conducting preliminary & final design, holding design reviews, building prototypes, and validating designs through analysis and test
• Design innovative mechanical solutions using multiple fabrication methods including sheet metal forming, machining, welding, mechanical fastening, and bonding
• Document hardware designs by creating detailed engineering drawings applying ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards
• Perform stress and mechanical tolerance studies, develop testing procedures, and generate appropriate test reports to document analysis outcomes
• Develop testing methods to validate product capabilities to satisfy internal and customer design criteria

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or greater in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Aerospace Engineering, Naval Architecture, or a related field
• 2+ years designing, analyzing and testing complex mechanical systems
• Strong fundamentals in core engineering concepts, including, but not limited to, solid mechanics, machine design, static, materials science, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics
• Proven experience with product development and the entirety of the product life cycle
• Proficiency with CAD and finite element analysis software, such as SolidWorks and FEMAP
• Demonstrated success developing innovative solutions to a broad range of mechanical engineering problems

Physical Demands

• Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
• Occasional standing and walking within the office
• Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
• Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports
• Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies
