10+ years of mechanical design experience on defense or aerospace hardware with products reaching flight or production.
ownership of complete mechanical subsystems: requirements, design, analysis, qualification test, production release.
Expert 3D CAD proficiency (NX preferred; SolidWorks or CATIA acceptable) and rigorous GD&T per ASME Y14.5.

Mansioni

Own the mechanical design of munition airframe structures, mechanisms, and payload packaging from concept through production in LA.
Lead structural design and analysis — hand calculations and FEA — for airframes under launch, flight, and terminal conditions.
Design for the tactical environment: shock, vibration, thermal extremes; MIL-STD-810 qualification campaigns.
Drive design-for-manufacture across composites and metal parts; coordinate with in-house production teams.
Own thermal management design for dense avionics and RF payloads in small airframes.
Develop single-use reliability mechanisms: wing/fin deployment, tube-launch separation, aerosurface folding, actuation systems.
Release production-ready drawing packages with GD&T per ASME Y14.5; mentor mechanical engineers.
