• Create detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, engineering drawings, and documentation using SolidWorks.
• Support new product development projects from concept through prototype, testing, validation, and production release.
• Generate and maintain ASME-compliant drawings with appropriate GD&T and functional dimensioning practices.
• Conduct hands-on testing, assembly, and evaluation of suppressors and firearm systems.
• Assist with root cause analysis, troubleshooting, and implementation of corrective actions for design and manufacturing issues.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, and Production teams to support DFM initiatives and efficient production methods.
• Evaluate prototypes and production components through testing and data analysis; document findings and engineering recommendations.
• Process engineering changes, revisions, and technical documentation updates through established systems.
• Afford support development and maintenance of engineering standards, test procedures, and technical documentation.
• Perform additional engineering and development duties as assigned.

Education/Experience & Skills

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and 3–6 years of engineering experience in an R&D environment, preferably involving firearm suppressors, small arms systems, precision mechanical products, or related accessories.
• Experience supporting the design, development, testing, and continuous improvement of firearm suppressors, muzzle devices, mounting systems, and associated weapon accessories.
• Proficient using Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
• Proficient using CAD software to create parametric solid models, assemblies, and associated drawings; SolidWorks experience required.
• Experience using a PLM system such as Agile preferred.
• Capable of performing moderately complex analyses such as FEA, kinematic and dynamic motion studies, CFD, thermal/heat transfer analysis, and sound/pressure flow evaluation related to suppressor performance, durability, and thermal management.
• Experience conducting hands-on firearm testing, suppressor fitment evaluation, live-fire testing, and performance validation preferred.
• Ability to safely handle, disassemble, maintain, and troubleshoot firearms and related systems required.
