Job Summary
We are looking for a detail-oriented Mechanical Design Engineer with 2–6 years of experience in CREO and/or UGNX to support the design and detailing of Rack & Stack systems, mechanical sub-assemblies, holding fixtures, vibration fixtures, and panels used in electronic test equipment for the aerospace industry. The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in 3D modeling, 2D manufacturing drawings, assembly detailing, and engineering documentation, with a strong focus on quality, accuracy, and compliance with aerospace documentation practices.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
- Create and update 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings using CREO and/or UGNX for Rack & Stack systems, mechanical sub-assemblies, holding fixtures, vibration fixtures, and panels.
- Prepare detailed assembly drawings, part drawings, fabrication drawings, and General Arrangement (GA) drawings for electronic test equipment and aerospace test setups.
- Develop and maintain engineering documentation including Bill of Materials (BOM), part lists, exploded views, section views, tolerance callouts, and revision-controlled drawing packages.
- Interpret design inputs, interface requirements, and system constraints to generate accurate and manufacturable mechanical designs.
- Support design of racks, enclosures, mounting structures, brackets, panels, and fixture components used for test system integration.
- Ensure designs comply with internal drafting standards, customer requirements, GD&T practices, and aerospace quality/documentation expectations.
- Coordinate with electrical, test, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure proper fit, form, function, and integration of mechanical assemblies.
- Incorporate design changes, engineering change requests, redlines, and build feedback into released drawings and models.
- Support prototype builds, fit checks, shop-floor clarifications, and drawing corrections during integration and testing stages.
- Verify design details such as material selection, sheet metal features, fasteners, mounting provisions, cutouts, clearances, access, manufacturability, and structural support requirements.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Production Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 2–4 years of relevant experience in mechanical design and drafting using CREO and/or UGNX.
- Hands-on experience in preparing drawings for Rack & Stack systems, mechanical sub-assemblies, holding fixtures, vibration fixtures, and panels.
- Strong understanding of 3D modeling, assembly modeling, 2D detailing, drawing standards, and manufacturing documentation.
- Knowledge of sheet metal design, machined parts, structural assemblies, brackets, enclosures, and mounting arrangements.
- Good understanding of GD&T, tolerance stack-up basics, fits, material specifications, and drawing interpretation.
- Experience working in electronic test equipment, aerospace, defense, or high-reliability engineering environments is preferred.
- Ability to read and interpret technical specifications, interface documents, and manufacturing requirements.
Preferred Skills
- Exposure to aerospace design/documentation practices and configuration-controlled environments.
- Experience in fixture design for holding, alignment, vibration, or test support applications.
- Knowledge of mechanical integration for electronic racks, consoles, cabinets, and test benches.
- Familiarity with BOM management, revision control, and document release processes through PLM/PDM systems.
- Understanding of manufacturing processes such as sheet metal fabrication, machining, welding, finishing, and assembly.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and support prototype-to-production activities.
Key Competencies
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy in mechanical design documentation.
- Good analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to manage multiple drawing updates and design tasks within project timelines.
- Effective communication and coordination with cross-functional engineering teams.
- Commitment to quality, compliance, and configuration control.
