Full ownership of CAD design and associated data for assigned components and assemblies.
Create detailed 3D CAD models of complex parts and assemblies (NX preferred).
Produce highquality 2D production drawings conforming to ASME standards and all applicable regulatory requirements.
Maintain CAD and engineering assets within the PLM system (Teamcenter or similar).
Provide CAD design solutions for technical challenges across multiple projects.

Engineering & Analysis:

Apply strong understanding of GD&T, materials, finishes, and manufacturing processes.
Use knowledge of stress analysis principles to assess structural implications of design decisions.

Conduct supporting simulation or analysis activities as needed (mechanical, stress, thermal, or fluid).
Ensure designs meet aerospace regulatory standards where applicable.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Participate in and lead relevant design reviews.
Work closely with engineers, external teams, and manufacturing personnel to ensure full understanding of design intent.
Serve as liaison with operations during part manufacture, ensuring timely resolution of design issues and updating drawings where required.

Leadership & Mentoring:

Guide junior team members on design best practices, documentation, and engineering processes.
Technically direct work and check drawings prepared by less experienced engineers.
Act as a focal point for mechanical design within assigned projects, driving progress and leading discussions.

General Responsibilities:

Quickly assimilate new technologies and communicate technical requirements clearly to internal stakeholders.
Demonstrate diligence, flexibility, and a results focused mindset.

Experience & Qualifications:

Degree in Mechanical Engineering
Minimum of 7 years industry experience
Expert user of 3D CAD with NX strongly preferred.
Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME).
Experience with Teamcenter PLM or similar systems.
Knowledge of materials, finishes, and relevant manufacturing processes (including additive manufacturing).
Experience with fuel-cell-related systems (advantageous).
Capable of creating complex aerospace grade CAD models and mechanical drawings.
Engineering Skills
Ability to independently check/sign drawings or be close to achieving checking status.
Experience writing high quality technical reports across a variety of engineering topics.

Understanding of stress analysis and its impact on mechanical design decisions.
Familiarity with relevant engineering processes and ability to guide junior engineers in their use.
