Mechanical Engineer

• Creates mechanical system designs meeting mechanical and optical requirements.
• Optimizes mechanical and optical performance of systems through iterative design processes including FEA, and thermal analysis.
• Creates technical documents such as reports, slides and plans.
• Support design reviews such as CoDR, PDR and CDR.
• Provides practical, hands-on skills in working with engineers and technicians in a lab environment.
• Works with vendors to manufacture parts, subsystems and systems per requirements, and works with peers and management.
• Performs tolerance analysis at system and subsystem level.
• Works with a design and engineering team to create full drawing packages with GD&T and detailed AIT (assembly, integration and testing) plans.
• Supports developing proposals.
