• Design mechanical components, assemblies, and systems for aerospace applications in accordance with engineering requirements and applicable standards.  
• Develop concept layouts, detailed designs, engineering drawings, and associated technical documentation.  
• Create and maintain complex CAD models, assemblies, and drawing packages.  
• Support engineering design reviews and incorporate feedback into design revisions.  
• Support engineering evaluations including stress, fit, tolerance, and thermal considerations as required.  
• Assist with design validation, prototype support, and engineering testing activities.  
• Review and resolve technical design issues during development, manufacturing, and testing phases.  
• Ensure designs support manufacturability, assembly efficiency, and product performance objectives.  
• Collaborate with Design Engineers, Stress Engineers, Manufacturing Engineering, Quality, and Supply Chain teams.  
• Support integration of mechanical systems and components into overall product designs.  
• Coordinate with suppliers and vendors to support design feasibility and cost-effective solutions.  

Documentation & Compliance 

• Prepare and maintain engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), and product documentation.  
• Ensure engineering documentation complies with internal drafting standards, customer specifications, and aerospace requirements.  
• Support engineering change and configuration control processes as required.  

What you need to qualify:  

• 3–7 years of experience in mechanical design or aerospace manufacturing environment  
• Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, Drafting, or related technical discipline
