- Collaborate closely with electrical, control, and software teams to develop tailored solutions for customer and system requirements.
- Develop robust mechanical enclosures and fixtures designed for extreme environmental conditions (vibration, temperature, humidity, etc.).
- Guide and mentor mechanical engineers throughout the development process to ensure optimal design and adherence to standards.
- Manage and supervise subcontractors, including defining technical requirements, reviewing deliverables, and ensuring quality and timeline compliance.
- Create and maintain comprehensive product documentation, including SolidWorks drawings, system specifications, and manufacturing files.
- Support integration processes and validation (V&V) and qualification testing to meet project milestones.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (B.Sc) – mandatory.
- At least 3 years of experience in designing complex mechanical systems for large control systems – mandatory.
- Advanced proficiency in SolidWorks, including parametric design, assembly creation, and drawing generation – mandatory.
- Strong knowledge of military standards (MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-1275) – mandatory.
- Proven experience in managing subcontractors and mentoring mechanical engineers – mandatory.
- Experience in structural, thermal, and vibration analysis using CAE tools – an advantage.
- Hands-on experience working with multidisciplinary systems integrating mechanical, electrical, and software components.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively in a dynamic environment.
Advantages:
- Experience in the defense industry or other highly regulated industries.
- Knowledge of advanced manufacturing techniques, including precision machining and 3D printing.
- Familiarity with Agile or Waterfall project management methodologies.
