Mechanical Engineer

At Spectrum Control, most departments operate on a 4-day, 10-hour work schedule in exchange for a 3-day weekend . We offer competitive wages and PTO, plus our benefits begin on day 1 of employment. Come join a workforce where we put you first! Summary: Join Spectrum Control as a Mechanical Engineer I and contribute to the design of embedded systems, rack-mounted power distribution units, and integrated microwave assemblies. Apply your experience with 3D CAD, sheet-metal design, and mechanical analysis while collaborating with experienced engineers and cross-functional teams. This role offers the opportunity to own well-defined design tasks, solve practical engineering problems, and expand your technical capabilities. Job Functions Design and modify mechanical components, sheet-metal enclosures, chassis, brackets, covers, and heat sinks using 3D CAD software. Support the mechanical design of rack-mounted power distribution units, considering component layout, cable routing, airflow, service access, and manufacturability. Apply sheet-metal design principles such as material selection, bend radii, tolerances, fastening methods, and fabrication constraints. Create and revise fabrication and assembly drawings using geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Assist with thermal and structural analyses using CFD and FEA tools and review results with experienced engineers. Create and maintain bills of materials (BOMs), assembly instructions, test reports, and other engineering documentation. Participate in design reviews and incorporate feedback from engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and other stakeholders. Collaborate with systems, PCB layout, RF, electrical, and manufacturing engineers throughout the product development lifecycle. Support prototype builds, product testing, troubleshooting, and design improvements. Assist with customer proposals, mechanical feasibility assessments, technical data packages, and contract deliverables. Take ownership of assigned design tasks and complete them in accordance with project requirements and established engineering practices. Skills And Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. One to two years of relevant engineering experience; strong internship or co-op experience may be considered. Experience with SolidWorks or similar 3D CAD software. Experience creating or modifying sheet-metal parts, enclosures, or chassis. Familiarity with rack-mounted equipment, power distribution units, or electronic packaging is preferred. Working knowledge of engineering drawings and basic GD&T principles. Basic understanding of sheet-metal fabrication processes, mechanical fasteners, materials, and finishes. Familiarity with bills of materials, assembly instructions, and engineering change or revision processes. Exposure to thermal analysis, CFD, or FEA through professional, internship, or academic work. Experience with SolidWorks PDM, SolidWorks Flow Simulation, SolidWorks Simulation, DraftSight, or AutoCAD is preferred. Familiarity with design for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA) principles. Knowledge of MIL-STDs, VITA standards, or NASA standards is a plus. Strong problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills. Ability to manage assigned tasks, document results, and seek guidance when needed. #J-18808-Ljbffr Spectrum Control
