Mechanical Engineer - Aerospace

The role

The Mechanical Engineer will design, develop, analyze, integrate, test, and provide production support for mechanical hardware and systems. Work involves aerospace, solid rocket propulsion, defense, and national security applications.

What you will do

• Design and develop mechanical components, assemblies, structures, tooling, and propulsion-related hardware.
• Develop 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, specifications, and bills of materials.
• Perform mechanical engineering analyses including structural, thermal, stress, fatigue, fracture, tolerance, vibration, and load-path analyses.
• Support development, integration, qualification, acceptance, and environmental testing of hardware.
• Review test data and support root-cause investigations and corrective actions.
• Collaborate with propulsion, systems, manufacturing, quality, materials, test, configuration management, and program teams.
• Participate in design reviews and technical working groups.
• Support manufacturing and production by resolving technical issues and evaluating nonconformances.
• Apply aerospace and defense engineering practices, GD&T, and design-for-manufacturability.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering field with 4 years of relevant professional experience OR Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerosp
• 4–10 years of professional experience in mechanical engineering, aerospace, defense, propulsion, manufacturing, or a closely related engineering discipline.
• Experience designing and developing mechanical hardware, structures, components, assemblies, tooling, or test equipment.
• Experience with 3D CAD modeling, engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerance analysis, and engineering documentation.
• Working knowledge of mechanical engineering fundamentals including structural mechanics, materials, thermal effects, loads, interfaces, and design-for-manufacturability.
• Ability to interpret and develop technical requirements, specifications, drawings, and engineering documentation.
• Experience supporting hardware development, integration, testing, manufacturing, or production troubleshooting in an aerospace, defense, propulsion, or high-reliability environment.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance, if required.

Nice to have

• Experience with solid rocket motors, rocket propulsion hardware, motor cases, nozzles, igniters, insulation, interfaces, or associated ground/test equipment.
• Experience with aerospace or defense standards and analysis tools such as FEA, ANSYS, MATLAB, tolerance analysis software, or similar engineering tools.
