    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

    * 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.
    
    • Technical Skills:
    * Expert proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD).
    
    * Strong background in reverse engineering workflows and associated software/hardware.
    
    * Advanced knowledge of GD&T and tolerance analysis.
    
    • Project Management:
    * Demonstrated ability to create and manage budgets, schedules, and resource allocations for engineering projects.
    
    • Standards & Communication:
    * Familiarity with AS9100 and ISO 9001 requirements.
    
    * Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to present technical concepts clearly.
