Design Engineer

Job Description

Role Overview

Lead the end-to-end design and reverse engineering of complex, precision-machined components and mechanical assemblies. You will drive new product development, capture existing part geometries, and ensure all deliverables meet stringent quality and regulatory standards.Key Responsibilities

Product Development & Reverse Engineering

Direct new product design efforts: concept development, CAD modeling, and prototype validation.

Utilize reverse engineering techniques (e.g., 3D scanning, point-cloud processing) to recreate legacy or undocumented parts.

Technical Documentation

Produce detailed CAD deliverables, including part and assembly drawings, BOMs, and revision-controlled documentation.

Apply Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) to define critical features and inspection criteria.

Project Planning & Budgeting

Establish project budgets, resource plans, and schedules.

Track milestone progress, manage risk, and report status to stakeholders.

Quality & Compliance

Ensure designs and processes adhere to AS9100 and ISO 9001 standards.

Participate in internal audits and continuous-improvement initiatives to maintain certification requirements.

Collaboration & Training

Work cross-functionally with manufacturing, quality, and procurement teams to resolve design or production issues.

Mentor junior engineers and deliver training on best practices for CAD, reverse engineering, and GD&T.Qualifications

Education & Experience:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).

7–10 years of hands-on experience in precision design and reverse engineering within defense, aerospace, or similarly regulated industries.
