Sustainability Engineer

We have an outstanding Contract position for a Sustainability Engineer to join a leading Company located in the Norwich, NY surrounding area.

Pay Rate: $45- $55

We are seeking a Sustaining Design Engineer to support existing aerospace products and designs throughout their lifecycle. This role is focused on maintaining, improving, and updating current designs rather than developing entirely new products.

The engineer will work heavily within Siemens NX to update legacy drawings and 3D models, process engineering changes, modify tolerances and materials, and ensure engineering documentation accurately reflects the current product and manufacturing requirements.

A key part of the role is understanding and documenting why engineering changes are being made, while working closely with manufacturing and shop-floor teams to make sure designs are practical, accurate, and manufacturable.

Job Responsibilities:

• Support sustaining engineering activities for existing aerospace products and components.
• Create and process engineering changes to existing designs.
• Update legacy engineering drawings and 3D models using Siemens NX.
• Make design modifications involving:
  • Dimensions and tolerances
  • Materials
  • Geometry and component design
  • Manufacturing requirements
• Review existing designs and determine necessary updates based on manufacturing, quality, or product needs.
• Develop and maintain clear engineering and technical documentation.
• Document the technical reasoning and justification behind design changes.
• Work directly with manufacturing and shop-floor personnel to understand issues and develop practical engineering solutions.
• Ensure drawings, models, specifications, and supporting documentation remain accurate and up to date.
• Support implementation of engineering changes through the manufacturing process.
• Perform general mechanical design work as needed to support legacy and production hardware.

Basic Hiring Criteria:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related engineering field is required.
• Experience in mechanical design, sustaining engineering, product engineering, or a similar engineering role.
• Experience using Siemens NX for 3D modeling and engineering drawings.
• Strong understanding of engineering drawings, dimensions, tolerances, and materials.
• Ability to interpret and modify existing engineering designs and legacy documentation.
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills.
• Ability to clearly document the rationale behind engineering and design changes.
• Comfortable working directly with manufacturing and shop-floor teams.
• Strong problem-solving skills with a practical, hands-on engineering mindset.

Desired Qualifications:

• Previous experience within aerospace, aviation, or another highly regulated engineering environment.
• Experience supporting legacy or mature aerospace products.
• Experience with engineering change processes and configuration-controlled documentation.
• Knowledge of GD&T and aerospace drawing practices.
• Experience working closely with manufacturing, quality, and production teams.

Benefits offered vary by contract. Depending on your temporary assignment, benefits may include direct deposit, free career counseling services, 401(k), select paid holidays, short-term disability insurance, skills training, employee referral bonus, and affordable medical coverage plan, and DailyPay (in some locations).
