Specialist, Mechanical Engineer

US Citizenship Required

Under general supervision, the Specialist Mechanical Engineer temp supports the design, layout, testing, and evaluation of mechanical and electro mechanical components used in defense power conversion systems. This role requires strong mechanical design capability, with specific emphasis on 3D CAD modeling, engineering documentation, and creating mechanical drawings compliant with ASME Y14 standards. The engineer works cross functionally with production, systems & test, electrical, and project engineering to ensure mechanical designs satisfy program requirements for mission critical systems.

Essential Functions:

Perform mechanical design and 3D CAD modeling using major CAD tools (Inventor, SolidWorks, Creo, NX, CATIA, or equivalent).

Develop and maintain mechanical drawings, engineering documentation, tolerance analyses, and specifications in accordance with ASME Y14 standards.

Support production by resolving manufacturability, assembly, and hardware build issues, ensuring designs are efficient to fabricate and assemble.

Participate in design reviews and provide constructive peer feedback to junior engineers.

Work hands-on with mechanical hardware in Navy high power environments.

Collaborate effectively with Production, Manufacturing Engineering, Systems & Test Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Project Engineering, Chief Engineers, and Program Management.

Travel up to 15%.

Must be able to obtain a U.S. Secret clearance.

Qualifications:

Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

Experience requirements:

o Bachelors Degree and minimum 4 years of prior related experience

o Graduate Degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience

o In lieu of a degree, a minimum of 8 years of prior related experience.

Proficiency with any major 3D CAD program (Inventor, SolidWorks, NX, Creo, CATIA, or equivalent).

Demonstrated ability to generate, review, and control engineering documentation (drawings, specifications, procedures, ECRs/ECOs).

Demonstrated experience creating engineering drawings compliant with ASME Y14 standards (GD&T, drawing practices, tolerancing).

Ability to work independently with minimal direction while collaborating across multiple engineering disciplines.

Ability to support design reviews and mentor junior engineers.

Ability to obtain and maintain DOD Secret clearance.

Preferred Additional Skills:

Experience with Autodesk Inventor

Familiarity with Navy/military specifications

Experience with high power or high voltage electromechanical systems

Experience with qualification and functional testing of Navy/military systems

Experience with PLM systems (Oracle Agile or Siemens Teamcenter preferred)

Experience with material/finish selection for ruggedized or military systems

Experience with Structural FEA (static & dynamic), using Ansys or equivalent

Experience with Thermal analysis, using Ansys or equivalent

Experience with 3D printing / additive manufacturing (FDM/FFF, PBF, DED, Binder Jet)
