• Designing assembly aids, test fixtures, and supporting hardware for build and verification
• Participating in mechanical design reviews and contributing to continuous improvement of design standards


Engineering Deliverables You Will Own
• Generation of part drawings and 3D models created exclusively in Creo, including participation in peer review
• Creation of Creo-based model‑based definition (MBD) assembly drawings when requested
• Delivery of avionics enclosure part and assembly drawings, including test fixtures, assembly tools, and interface control documentation
• Performing and submitting tolerance stack‑ups on avionics enclosure assemblies
• Providing detailed design information required to initiate and support procurement activities

What You Bring
BS degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related discipline, with 4+ years of related experience, including:
• Strong proficiency with Creo for 3D modeling, drafting, and MBD
• Experience designing mechanical components for electronics, avionics, or highly constrained environments
• Familiarity with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and engineering best practices
• Ability to collaborate cross‑functionally with electrical, structural, thermal, and systems engineering teams
• A passion for hands‑on design work and contributing to hardware that will operate beyond Earth

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
