• Strong proficiency with SolidWorks, SolidWorks Flow and SolidWorks Simulation.
• Experience with SW PDM and ERP systems.
• Proven experience creating and releasing complex mechanical models, drawings, and assemblies.
• Knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and mechanical drafting standards.
• Hands-on experience with mechanical hardware builds, assembly, and integration.
• Experience supporting or executing mechanical/environmental testing (thermal, vibration, shock, or structural).
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment and manage multiple priorities.
• Strong problem-solving skills, initiative, and ability to work both independently and in teams.

Responsibilities

• Design, model, and document complex mechanical systems, assemblies, and components.
• Run thermal and/or structural simulations, and complete tolerance stack-up analysis
• Manage CAD data and configuration using PLM software.
• Develop engineering drawings, specifications, and BOMs that meet ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards.
• Perform design trade studies, tolerance analysis, and material selection for demanding applications.
• Collaborate with manufacturing to ensure designs are producible, cost-effective, and high quality.
• Participate in prototype builds, assembly, and troubleshooting of mechanical hardware.
• Support and execute component- and system-level testing, including environmental testing (thermal, vibration, shock, etc.).
• Work cross-functionally with engineers from multiple disciplines to integrate mechanical systems into larger assemblies.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of design, test, and build processes.
