Exposure to electrical harness design and mechanical routing in 3D CAD software

Collaborate with integrated product teams to ensure system-level avionics design meets needs for structures, propulsion, and software systems integration and test

Comfortable communicating across design, manufacturing, supply chain, test, and logistics teams to ensure hardware quality and pace of execution

Self-starter who can define and roll out new processes from scratch, working collaboratively with technicians, engineers, and external vendors

Proficient in CAD, basic design or test analysis, and first-principles hand calculations

Experience supporting aerospace, defense, or other mission-critical mechanical hardware

Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and specifications

Experience authoring and improving work instructions, travelers, and build documentation

Familiarity with PLM/MES systems and production change control in a regulated environment

Hands-on exposure to tooling, fixtures, or assembly aids on the manufacturing floor

Must be willing to be hands-on in a manufacturing and test environment daily.

Ability to lift up to 25 lbs and work safely around high-pressure systems and industrial equipment.

Extended or flexible hours may be required to support critical build and test milestones.
