Descrizione del lavoro

CFD Research is seeking a highly capable Mechanical Engineer specializing in Product Development and Mechanical Design to lead the full lifecycle from concept generation to detailed design, analysis, prototyping, and transition to production.

This engineer will support ruggedized aerospace and military products, including structures, enclosures, thermal solutions, mechanisms, interface hardware, and electronics packaging.

Competenze

• BS in Mechanical Engineering.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or equivalent advanced 3D CAD tools.
• Experience using FEA simulation tools such as Ansys Mechanical or SolidWorks Simulation.
• Experience designing mechanical assemblies for electronics, electromechanical systems, or rugged hardware.
• U.S. Citizen with ability to obtain a security clearance.

Mansioni

• Lead mechanical product development and design from concept to production release.
• Model mechanical assemblies including enclosures, structural parts, mechanisms, brackets, mounting hardware, and electronics packaging.
• Perform stack up analysis, GD&T application, tolerance analysis, and detailed dimensioning to ensure reliable fit and manufacturability.
• Conduct or support structural, shock, vibration, modal, and thermal analyses for MIL STD 810 and related standards.
• Create complete mechanical documentation packages including drawings, BOMs, and configuration controlled artifacts under AS9100 processes.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles to support efficient, quality focused production.
• Collaborate closely with cross function engineering teams throughout the development.
• Develop and implement thermal management strategies including conduction paths, heat sinking, interface materials, and airflow considerations.
• Support ruggedization efforts: sealing, gasketing, coatings, shock and vibration protection, environmental hardening.
• Assist in prototype development, machining, and vendor engagement.
• Participate in design reviews, verification testing, and root cause analysis.
• Ensure final mechanical designs meet system level requirements, environmental constraints, manufacturability goals, and reliability expectations.
