Location: Onsite
Job Type: 6-Month Contract
Relocation Assistance: Not Available
Citizenship Requirement: U.S. Citizenship Required

Oxford Solutions is working with a technology-focused client seeking an experienced Mechanical Design Engineer for a 6-month contract opportunity. This position involves mechanical product design, prototyping, testing, and supporting the transition of designs into production.

The ideal candidate has strong 3D CAD skills, experience designing electronic equipment enclosures and mechanical assemblies, and a solid understanding of manufacturing processes.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop mechanical components, enclosures, and assemblies for electronic equipment.
• Create detailed 3D models and engineering drawings using Creo, SolidWorks, or similar CAD software.
• Design plastic, sheet metal, cast, and machined components with consideration for manufacturability.
• Support prototype fabrication, assembly, testing, and design improvements.
• Perform structural and thermal analysis, including finite element analysis (FEA).
• Incorporate environmental protection, thermal management, and EMI shielding requirements into mechanical designs.
• Collaborate with electrical engineering teams to ensure proper integration of mechanical and electronic components.
• Conduct design reviews, verification testing, and engineering documentation.
• Develop bills of materials (BOMs) and coordinate with suppliers to support production.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of mechanical design engineering experience.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD software, preferably Creo or SolidWorks.
• Experience designing mechanical components for manufacturing and assembly.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems, materials, structural analysis, and heat transfer.
• Experience with FEA tools and mechanical design verification.
• Hands-on experience with prototyping and product development.
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen.

Experience with ruggedized electronic enclosures, environmental testing, or aerospace and communications equipment is a plus.

This is an onsite contract position. Candidates must be able to work locally, as relocation assistance is not available.
