We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer with a Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or related Engineering field. In this challenging, fast-paced environment, youll have the opportunity to apply your knowledge and experience to design and create the most groundbreaking aerospace and defense technologies - those that exist today and those that will shape tomorrow.What to look forward to:
Do you enjoy designing and developing innovative solutions to solve tough problems? Join our team to deliver technological solutions in a rapid and agile production environment. Our Mechanical Engineers are responsible for the mechanical design of our cutting-edge products and services. These cover a very wide range from advanced mission payloads and electronic systems through highly integrated aircraft to orbital and space exploration systems. Most of our products are custom, so most designs start from a blank canvas. Youll create conceptual designs for internal and external approval, work with multi-discipline engineering teams to obtain inputs, and produce drawings to drive procurement and operations. Youll support the product through the design and development phase, through production, and throughout the product lifecycle. If you like to get things done and get your hands on the products you design, SNC is the place for you.
