Creating detailed design documentation including manufacturing drawings and interface control drawings
Supporting AIT activities including fabrication, assembly, integration, and environmental testing (vibration, shock, TVAC, static load)
Defining mechanical interfaces and ensuring system-level compatibility
Driving engineering trade-offs and structural decisions to optimize performance and manufacturability
Collaborating cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, and test teams

What You’ll Need

6+ years of experience in mechanical design for spacecraft or aerospace systems
Strong background in CAD (Inventor preferred) and mechanical system design
Experience supporting AIT and integration/testing environments
Ability to produce high-quality engineering documentation and drawings
Degree in Mechanical Engineering or similar
