We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team and drive the development of complex aerospace products from concept through manufacturing. In this role, you will collaborate with engineering to create initial 2D concepts, develop 3D models, assemblies, and manufacturing-ready drawings in NX, and support the transition to Model-Based Definition. You will apply tolerance analyses to ensure proper fit and performance, manage Bills of Materials, work closely with detailers and drafters, and verify design data for compliance with aerospace and internal standards. Additionally, you will support cross-functional teams, including Structures, and ensure proper filing, control, and export classification of design data.
