- Understanding fabrication, steel construction, welding techniques and bolting strategies.
- Selecting appropriate materials, evaluating manufacturing methods, and ensuring designs are manufacturable.
- Implementing change management protocols, issuing service bulletins, creating and maintaining comprehensive technical manuals, and ensuring compliance with NATO standards.
What We're Looking For
- Demonstrated experience as a senior mechanical design engineer, with competency in creating robust designs from initial concept to successful manufacture.
- Strong CAD skills, particularly with SolidWorks, and understanding of creating assemblies, components and detailed manufacturing drawings.
- Comfortable applying engineering principles, undertaking calculations, specifying tolerances, and using FEA to validate designs.
- Knowledgeable about metals and materials selection, fabrication, machining, welding, and finishing techniques.
- Ability to communicate complex engineering information clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Proactive, capable of working autonomously and demonstrating sound engineering judgement.
