  • 5-6 years of hands-on mechanical design experience in aerospace, ground support equipment, or related ruggedized hardware systems.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD software (SolidWorks, NX, CATIA, or similar) with demonstrated ability to create detailed drawings, assemblies, and GD&T-compliant documentation
  • Strong foundation in structural design, material selection, and manufacturing processes.
  • Experience performing engineering calculations (stress, thermal, tolerance stack-up, fatigue, FEA as applicable) to validate design integrity
  • Cross-functional collaboration experience with Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain, and Program Management.
  • Root cause analysis and structured problem-solving capability to resolve mechanical failures.
  • Familiarity with industry standards (ASME, ISO, ASTM, or industry-specific regulatory requirements).
