Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to act as a subject-matter expert supporting diverse engineering and manufacturing programs. This role contributes to product design, development, and optimization efforts across aerospace, automotive, and defense-related projects. You will help shape future engineering and manufacturing strategies while supporting customers through technical guidance and solution development.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the creation and refinement of 3D Technical Data Packages (TDPs) to support part procurement and manufacturing.

• Analyze production processes, control plans, schedules, and manufacturing methods to determine future needs.

• Participate in audits to evaluate supplier capabilities and alignment with design requirements.

• Work cross-functionally with supply chain, manufacturing, and quality teams to resolve design, manufacturing, and procurement challenges.

• Support initiatives in Industry 4.0, digital factory development, model-based enterprise, advanced manufacturing, and additive manufacturing.

• Produce accurate technical documentation, including analyses, reports, and engineering presentations.

• Review manufacturing instructions and processes to identify improvements in efficiency and quality.

• Develop strategy documentation and standardized processes to streamline TDP development.

• Provide real-time engineering support to suppliers on feasibility and manufacturability questions.

• Evaluate production run results to validate “as-designed” versus “as-manufactured” outcomes.

• Work closely with program management, technical teams, and customer groups to achieve project milestones.

• Solve technical issues, manage deliverables, and take ownership of corrective actions.

• Collaborate with end users to diagnose and resolve engineering challenges.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering, or Industrial Engineering.

• 4+ years of relevant engineering experience.

• Proficiency in CAD tools (Creo or SolidWorks preferred).

• Strong understanding of GD&T.

• Experience with design, manufacturing, and testing of machined, forged, cast, or fabricated parts.

• Knowledge of design for manufacturing, assembly, cost, and reliability.

• Strong project management and time-management skills.

• Ability to lead small, cross-functional engineering teams.

• Strong verbal communication, interpersonal, and stakeholder-engagement skills.

• Ability to travel up to 50%, depending on customer needs.

Must be clearable and US Citizen.

Preferred Qualifications

• 2+ years of team lead or project management experience.

• Master’s degree in a related engineering discipline.

• PE license or equivalent certification.

• LEAN, Six Sigma, or similar process credentials.

• Experience using project planning tools.
