Job Description Summary
Collaboration with multidisciplinary set of engineers to design and analyze mechanical components and systems for experimental aero-thermal test rigs. To accomplish the given tasks, you must be proficient developing mechanical designs using CAD and applying engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of the designed components and subsystems. You should have an excellent understanding of the engineering process, leading proof-of-concept ideas towards validated solutions. Communication and documentation are critical as you will often need to prepare slides (or other documents) to present to the team, whether it is to describe detailed designs or to discuss project progress.
