Mechanical Design Engineer

KODA Technologies Inc. is a people-first company making a significant impact on national-priority missions in missile defense, hypersonics, and civil space. They are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer who will deliver high-quality designs and develop innovative solutions to support humanity's expansion into space.

Responsibilities:

• Design, analyze, build, and test components and systems
• Own the mechanical definition, including 3D models, detailed drawings, design updates, and resolution of design discrepancies
• Coordinate fabrication, assembly, installation, and commissioning of new or modified systems
• Create and manage fabrication and installation drawings in ProE/Creo with Windchill, applying industry standards for design, drafting, and configuration control
• Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) to ensure designs are producible, maintainable, and scalable from prototype through higher-rate builds
• Guide hardware through the full product life cycle, from requirements and preliminary design through detailed design, build, test, verification, integration, and flight
• Collaborate across disciplines and clearly communicate complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in a highly collaborative, inclusive environment

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• 3+ years of experience designing components and assemblies
• Advance proficiency in CAD (Creo preferred) to create models, assemblies, and engineering drawings
• Demonstrated knowledge of GD&T standards (ASME Y14.5) and the practical application of tolerance analysis in mechanical design
• Proven ability to provide high-quality mechanical design engineering solutions in a rapidly iterating research and development environment
• Hands-on expertise in integration, assembly, testing, and troubleshooting of rotating machinery-seeing designs through from concept to deployment
• Strong foundation in mechanical engineering-expert in materials, heat treatments, statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials for mission-critical aerospace applications
• Experience using PLM software (Windchill preferred) to facilitate aerospace industry standard configuration control of engineering design
• Master's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related engineering discipline
• Experience interfacing directly with suppliers to solve manufacturing challenges innate to cutting edge design
