• Develop CAD models and drawings using SolidWorks
• Support ground, bench, and flight testing of systems
• Perform feasibility studies and trade-space analyses
• Reduce and analyze test data and present findings to technical and non-technical audiences
• Collaborate with software developers and data engineers to support integrated systems
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of networked data systems (servers, cloud, and localized devices)
• Author white papers, technical reports, and customer-facing documentation
• Participate in business development efforts, including proposal development and pipeline research
• Travel as needed to support testing, integration, or customer engagement

Required:

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering; Master’s preferred
• Minimum 5 years of experience (including no more than 2 years of internships) in mechanical engineering roles supporting integrated systems
