Mechanical Engineer II or III

About the Role

Work with or lead assigned engineering teams to support the design and analysis of aircraft, ground, and/or sea military hardware, missionization kits, and other modifications to ensure system integrity in operational settings. As a team member or mechanical lead, develop new design concepts using customer requirements, existing drawings, and on-site surveys.

Responsibilities

• Convert design concepts and requirements into detailed designs for assemblies, sub-assemblies, and piece parts using 3D CAD software.
• Use mock-ups and/or 3D printed parts to verify fit or functional requirements before finalizing designs.
• Interpret and apply GD&T (ASME Y14.5) standards.
• Collaborate with structural analysis and manufacturing teams to ensure designs meet performance and manufacturability requirements.
• Support aircraft or ground vehicle modification and mission kit development programs from initial surveys through design, analysis, manufacturing, and integration to project completion.
• Prepare, review, and evaluate documentation, specifications, test plans, and procedures.
• Develop briefing materials for design review milestones (SRR, PDR, CDR) and present to customers.
• Conduct trade-off studies and analyze design interfaces in early design phases.
• Develop or support engineering reports such as Weight and Balance Reports using calculated or actual weight data.
• Review and approve work products, including engineering drawings and technical reports, developed by other engineers.
• Provide daily supervision and direction to supporting engineers and drafting personnel, depending on experience.
• Perform other assigned duties.
