Who We Are:

The Mechanical Systems Section in the Strategic Aerospace Department provides electromechanical engineering support for several US Air Force Global Strike Command and Department of Defense programs. We are a multidisciplinary team of engineers that enjoy supporting the warfighter. We provide engineering services to projects involving the design, development and maintenance of systems for the strategic aerospace community, including aircraft and ground support equipment ranging from microcircuits to major subsystems.

Objectives of this Role:

• Participate in large multidisciplinary aerospace and avionics design teams to execute cradle-to-grave science and engineering projects that benefit national security.
• Contribute electromechanical design and drafting technical data packages to support DoD clients with sustainment and modernization of legacy hardware for flight, ground support, testing, and maintenance.
• Support research and development of new technologies for national defense applications.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Generate mechanical solid models, fabrication/assembly drawings, BOMs, technical illustrations, electrical/mechanical schematics, and installation/integration instructions. Drafting assignments involve conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design under limited supervision.
• Support development of analysis-only CAD models for structural, thermal, dynamic, and dimensional engineering analyses.
• Lead drafting decision making by interacting with colleagues and project leadership to present technical data packages, collaborate to make design decisions, and document comprehensive technical data packages in the form of 3D CAD models, and manufacturing/fabrication drawings.
• Lead reverse engineering activities by creating 3D CAD models and/or drawings from data that is extracted from legacy avionics equipment and/or structures.
• Manage individual and drafting team work contributions under limited supervision.

Requirements:

• Requires a high school diploma or equivalent or an Associates degree in Mechanical Design and Drafting , Aerospace Design and Drafting, Electronics Design and Drafting or Avionics Design and Drafting.
• 7+ years: Self-motivated with strong skills in organization, technical writing, oral/written communication, and professionalism.
• 7+ years: Experience with leading highly complex electrical and mechanical design development through conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design tollgates.
• 7+ years: Proficient with developing mechanical solid models using multiple commercial 3D/2D using SolidWorks preferred. Experience providing original work contributions for complex electromechanical systems with custom project requirements.
• 7+ years: Proficient with interpreting and generating the following data: mechanical dimensioning and fit tolerances, electrical wiring schematics, mechanical hydraulic/pneumatic schematics.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
