Job Description:

About HM and Team:

The Hiring manager is a Principal Engineer at a client aerospace project, working on the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) constellation satellites under our client.
He is looking for a CAD/CAM proficient Mechanical Design Engineer to help design tools and fixtures for the components that are installed on the satellites.
These components are tested before installation, so we require custom test fixtures and attachments that interface with the components being tested.
The role involves developing CAD/CAM tools and fixtures to enhance the efficiency of the testing process, particularly for the components tested on test benches or stations.
The position is a full-time, on-site role in Redmond, working 5 day a week.
There will be one round of interviews.

Leadership Principles:

Bias for action
Ownership
Dive deep into problems.

Top 3 Skills Required:

Proficiency with CAD software (preferably AutoCAD) and CAM systems
Knowledge of manufacturing practices (e.g., molding, 3D printing, injection molding, machining)
Familiarity with finite element analysis is highly preferred.

Additional Preferences:

Aerospace experience is not required.
We're primarily looking for candidates with experience in test systems, particularly those involved in high-velocity manufacturing and testing processes.
Experience with NX CAD is a plus, but we will consider candidates with SolidWorks or other CAD tools as well.

Minimum Experience:

At least 5 years of experience with structural engineering analysis and CAD/CAM tools (especially AutoCAD).
We need someone who can hit the ground running, so training won't be provided.
This role will involve working closely with LRU (Line Replaceable Unit) design engineers to develop processes and fixtures that improve testing and installation efficiency.
