• Perform DFM/DFA optimization, FEA simulations, tolerance stack-ups, and thermal/structural/vibration analysis.
• Generate and maintain engineering documentation: drawings, BOMs, specifications, and test plans.
• Participate in design reviews, root cause investigations, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance across teams.
• Interface with customers and suppliers to communicate technical requirements and design intent.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards including AS9100, ITAR, and aerospace specifications.

Required Qualifications:

• Proven expertise in designing high-temperature vacuum brazed joints and precision-machined components with tight tolerances.
• Strong working knowledge of GD&T, CNC machining (milling, turning, grinding), and FAI protocols.
• Proficient in Creo and FEA software; experience with Esprit CAM a plus.
• Experience with vacuum or dip brazing process design is required.
• Familiarity with heat transfer and thermal stress analysis in high-temperature environments.
• Background working with DoD primes (e.g., Lockheed Martin, Raytheon) or defense contracting.
• Excellent communication skills and demonstrated success working on cross-functional engineering teams.
