Senior Design Engineer

Insight Global's client is looking for a Senior Design Engineer. The Senior Design Engineer will help own the design, analysis, development, and qualification of solid rocket motor primary structures, including motor cases, mechanical components, mechanisms, assemblies, secondary structures, and related propulsion systems. This role requires a strong background in solid mechanics and the ability to take hardware from clean-sheet design through manufacturing, assembly, testing, qualification, and production.

Additive manufacturing is a significant part of the product strategy, so this individual should have strong experience designing metal hardware for additive manufacturing and an understanding of emerging manufacturing technologies. The ideal candidate will also have experience designing hardware and manufacturing processes for high-rate production, automation, scalability, and reduced touch labor.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own clean-sheet design and development of solid rocket motor hardware, including motor cases, mechanisms, structural components, and assemblies.

• Apply solid mechanics and structural engineering principles from component-level design through integrated systems.

• Translate customer and internal requirements into reliable, cost-effective designs.

• Design hardware for additive manufacturing, high-rate production, automation, and reduced touch labor.

• Lead design development from concept through prototype manufacturing, assembly, testing, and qualification.

• Review test results, troubleshoot hardware, and implement design changes as needed.

• Develop and maintain aggressive but achievable product schedules while identifying and mitigating design risks.

• Provide engineering dispositions for discrepant or nonconforming hardware, including supporting analysis as needed.

• Create and approve CAD models, drawings, and engineering documentation in accordance with internal requirements and ASME Y14.5-2009.

• Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, testing, procurement, and supply chain to address design, production, and technical risks.

Salary range: $105,840- $132,300
