Mechanical Engineer

Job Title: Mechanical Engineer Location: Dayton, Ohio Who You Are: You see a technical problem and immediately start figuring out how to build the solution. Maybe the team needs a fixture that does not exist. Maybe an aircraft component needs to be reverse engineered. Maybe a 3D scanner captured the geometry, but somebody needs to turn those points into a useful engineering model. Maybe an evaluation needs a test device next week and there is no catalog number for what the scientists just dreamed up. That is where you come in. You like CAD, scanners, prototypes, fabrication, measurement systems, aircraft, and solving practical engineering problems. You are just as comfortable at a computer as you are in a laboratory, fabrication environment, performing evaluations or around an aircraft.

Support aircraft accommodation evaluations in laboratory and field environments. Maintain laboratory equipment and engineering systems in mission-ready condition. Troubleshoot engineering equipment and instrumentation during evaluation execution. Modify or adapt engineering systems to support changing evaluation requirements. Support procurement, inventory, shipping, equipment setup, sustainment, and engineering logistics. Develop engineering drawings, bills of material, configuration records, fabrication packages, technical documentation, and engineering specifications. Work directly with scientists and evaluation engineers to convert technical concepts into practical capability. Support laboratory modernization and continuous improvement. Minimum Qualifications/What You’ll Bring: Academic, internship, research, military, or professional experience involving engineering design, laboratory engineering, or related technical activities. Working knowledge of Computer-Aided Design. Strong mechanical and technical problem-solving skills. Ability to work hands-on with laboratory equipment and physical engineering systems. Ability to develop and maintain accurate engineering documentation. Ability to travel in support of aircraft and field evaluations. Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary scientific and engineering teams. Nice to Haves: 2+ years of relevant engineering experience. SolidWorks experience. Geomagic Design X experience. PolyWorks experience. 3D scanning experience. Reverse engineering and scan-to-CAD experience. Additive manufacturing and 3D printing experience. Prototype and fixture fabrication experience. Aircraft, Department of War engineering experience. Anthropometry or Human Systems Integration experience.
