The primary mechanical design and tool used at ASI is Solidworks. On occasion, existing designs documented in AutoCAD or other CAD programs will be used as a baseline and updated using those programs.

Position employs resources capable of performing mechanical design/drafting tasks associated with the development and documentation of complex simulation and training devices using common 3D parametric modeling/drafting and 2D software programs (i.e., Solidworks and AutoCAD). The MCAD resource is typically part of an integral project team and will work closely with Electrical Engineering, Project Engineering, and Mechanical Engineers to develop production drawing packages that are released for manufacture.Essential Duties and ResponsibilitiesWorks closely with Mechanical Engineering to produce, and release for production, CAD models and drawings of electro-mechanical assemblies, subassemblies and parts that are manufacturable, ergonomic, reliable, and maintainable. This includes the design of structures, weldments, machined parts, sheet metal parts, printed parts, modifications, installations and more, in accordance with Government/Industry standards and Customer specifications.Provides build support to manufacturing in the form of resolving design and documentation issues during production phases, and documenting changes by creating engineering change documents.Supports Mechanical Engineering with development of presentation materials for customer meetings including requirement reviews, design reviews and acceptance testing.Prepares for and participates in customer events such as configuration audits, etc.Supervisory ResponsibilitiesThis job has no supervisory responsibilities.Experience RequirementsMID - 2 to 5 YearsSENIOR - 5+ YearsRequired Skills and AbilitiesMinimum of three years of practical experience using parametric modeling/drafting software, preferably Solidworks.Experience using 2D CAD Programs such as AutoCadExperience using software tools commonly used in engineering work environments such as Microsoft Windows, MS Office, and Excel.Additional Required Skills and AbilitiesAbility to develop and maintain positive working relationships with internal and external customers.Ability to adapt communication style and messaging to different audiences.Ability to manage multiple priorities and projects simultaneously, ensuring stakeholder expectations are managed appropriately.Ability to work in a project-oriented, fast paced environment to meet deadlines.Very good organization and time management skills.Skill in drafting engineering assembly and parts drawings of more than ordinary complexity and using CAD System.Ability to prepare complex drawings from rough sketches or oral instructions.Possession of inherent mechanical aptitude.Education RequirementsAssociate Degree in Engineering Technology supplemented by advanced course work in engineering drafting; or any equivalent combination of training and experience.Employment RequirementsU.S. Citizenship Required: As a federal contractor supporting the U.S. warfighter, it is required that all employees in this role be United States citizens in compliance with government contract and security requirements.Background Check: Must be able to successfully pass an initial background screening.Security Clearance: Must be able to obtain and maintain an active Department of Defense (DoD) security clearance.
