We're looking for a Mechanical/Product Development Engineer who enjoys turning ideas into real products. In this role, you'll take ownership of new product designs from concept through production, developing 3D CAD models, creating detailed drawings, building and testing prototypes, and working closely with manufacturing to bring designs to life.
You'll work on a diverse range of commercial and defense products, giving you the opportunity to solve different engineering challenges rather than focusing on the same product or process every day.
This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys designing, building, testing, improving, and ultimately seeing their work become a finished product.
What You'll Do
Develop new mechanical products and components from initial concept through production
Create 3D CAD models, assemblies, and detailed engineering drawings
Evaluate and improve existing products through redesign and engineering analysis
Develop prototypes and support product testing, qualification, and validation
Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to new and existing designs
Identify critical-to-function features and develop practical solutions for quality, reliability, and manufacturability
Work directly with manufacturing, machinists, technicians, and other engineers to bring designs into production
Support material, component, tooling, and manufacturing process selection
Create and process Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
Apply GD&T and sound engineering principles to ensure designs meet functional and manufacturing requirements
Participate in product development reviews and help move projects from concept to production
What We're Looking For
Required:
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field
Minimum of a 3.3 GPA for all completed degrees
Professional experience with mechanical/product design and development
Experience using 3D CAD software to create models and engineering drawings
Understanding of Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
Experience taking products or components from design into production
U.S. Citizenship required due to ITAR requirements
Preferred:
3+ years of mechanical/product development engineering experience
Experience with GD&T / ASME Y14.5
Experience with CNC machining, sheet metal, injection molding, casting, tube fabrication, or other manufacturing processes
Experience with product development or stage-gate processes
Take ownership of projects from concept through production
See your designs become real, production-ready products
Work alongside experienced engineers, machinists, technicians, and manufacturing professionals
Gain exposure to a wide range of design and manufacturing technologies
Solve new engineering challenges across a diverse product portfolio
