Mechanical Engineer in Exton

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionDescription:

The Mechanical Engineer will lead the design and development of mechanical components and assemblies for advanced electro-mechanical products. This role works closely with cross-functional engineering teams, program management, manufacturing, and supply chain to ensure high-quality, manufacturable designs that meet customer and regulatory requirements. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer with strong CAD skills, a solid understanding of mechanical design principles, and experience designing for production.

Key Responsibilities:

Product Design & Development

• Design and develop company products using CAD tools based on customer requirements, specifications, and system constraints.
• Perform detailed mechanical design work including sheet metal, gearing, castings, and injection-molded plastic components.
• Conduct finite element analysis (FEA) and apply sound engineering judgment to ensure structural integrity and performance.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and value engineering principles to reduce part count, manufacturing cost, and      product complexity while maintaining performance and reliability.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Program Managers and Systems/Project Engineers to ensure designs meet all customer, compliance, and certification requirements.
• Collaborate closely with Electrical Engineers to ensure seamless integration of electronic components and mechanical assemblies.
• Work directly with machine shop personnel and procurement to support efficient prototype fabrication.
• Coordinate with Manufacturing Engineers to implement designs optimized for assembly, cost, and repeatability.

Configuration Management & Documentation

• Update and maintain legacy designs, ensuring alignment with current CAD standards and drawing revision control.
• Create and manage complete drawing packages, BOMs, and engineering documentation.

Leadership & Support

• Train and guide team members in assembly procedures and best practices.
• Communicate proactively, collaborate effectively, and contribute positively to the IA engineering team environment.

Professional Expectations

All IA team members are expected to:

• Ask questions when presented with tasks outside their physical or professional capabilities.
• Uphold safety, facility security, and protection of proprietary technologies and information.

Requirements:

Required Qualifications

• BSME with 3–4+ years of relevant mechanical design experience.
• Demonstrated electro-mechanical design experience, including sheet metal, gearing, castings, and injection-molded      plastics.
• Proficiency with PTC Creo / Pro-E.
• Experience with FEA, precision manufacturing processes, and instrument-level assembly methods.
• Strong knowledge of materials, coatings, and finishes used in mechanical design.
• Experience with electronic packaging and/or avionics environments is highly desirable.
• Familiarity with lighting and optical components is a plus.
• Due to compliance with U.S. export control laws and regulations, candidate must be a U.S. , U.S. permanent , or have asylum or refugee status in the U.S.

Performance Metrics
