Job Description

We are looking for a qualified Mechanical Design Engineer to support new product development activities related to composite part manufacturing. This is a mid-career level position. The ideal candidate will have extensive CAD experience, preferably in SolidWorks, and will understand fundamental engineering design principles. The majority of tasks will relate to new part configurations where a customer-supplied drawing will result in an engineered part package that will include a dry fiber preform, composite mold, and finished composite part. Both 2D and 3D drawings will need to be routinely generated and communicated to customers and vendors. This individual will coordinate and lead internal activities for design generation, review, and revision, and will work with the manufacturing team to understand critical design features that need to be incorporated. They will maintain the database of best design practices for the organization and create tools to rapidly apply those practices to new designs.
