What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Engineer SolidWorks?

To thrive as a SolidWorks Engineer, you need strong proficiency in 3D CAD modeling, mechanical design principles, and a relevant engineering degree. Expertise in using SolidWorks software, knowledge of simulation tools, and certifications like CSWA or CSWP are typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication skills set top candidates apart in this field. These competencies ensure accurate designs, efficient workflow, and successful collaboration on engineering projects.

What is the difference between Engineer Solidworks vs Mechanical Drafter?

AspectEngineer SolidworksMechanical Drafter
CredentialsBachelor's in Mechanical Engineering or related field, Solidworks certificationAssociate's degree or technical diploma, proficiency in Solidworks
Work EnvironmentDesign offices, engineering firms, manufacturing companiesDesign offices, manufacturing plants, engineering departments
ResponsibilitiesDesign, analyze, and develop 3D models and assembliesPrepare detailed technical drawings and schematics from designs

Engineer Solidworks professionals focus on designing and analyzing 3D models using Solidworks, often requiring engineering degrees. Mechanical Drafters primarily create detailed drawings based on engineers' designs. Both roles use Solidworks but differ in scope and responsibilities, with engineers involved in conceptual design and drafters in detailed documentation.

Job description

Mechanical Engineer  


Who We Are  

To accomplish their goals, the world’s leading scientists, research institutions, and aerospace programs require highly specialized products and technology. We develop them. 

Our team creates the products and technology that move the world forward. We engineer solutions to complex problems and deliver mission-critical components that advance science, exploration, and humanity. At Newton, we provide full-cycle engineering and product development support — from creating high-precision pointing mechanisms for spacecraft to solving shock isolation challenges for strategic operations; we’re there, every step of the way. 


Who We Are Looking For 

We are growing our team and capabilities with a Mid-to-Senior Level Mechanical Engineer who has a demonstrated ability to create effective and elegant solutions. Newton engineers are self-starters, continually finding ways to improve processes and collaborate in small project team environments. If you are a well-rounded engineer who wants to solve a broad set of engineering challenges, let’s talk. We promise a fast-moving environment where every day presents a learning opportunity while working on unique projects. 

The Mechanical Engineer is a contributing member to our product development teams. Activities include: 

  • Design and draft machine parts and assemblies using Solidworks. 
  • Perform hand calculations to determine order of magnitude sizing for structural design elements (e.g., structural members in the load path, fastener size and quantity, etc.) 
  • Create structural and thermal Finite Element Models (FEMs) using NxNastran / Femap and Thermal Desktop. 
  • Analyze parts using requirements / load cases via finite element models and supporting software.  
  • Coordinate piece part manufacturing and assembly, as well as orders for commercial components (e.g., fasteners). 
  • Draft test plans and procedures in conjunction with design engineers. 
  • Draft PowerPoint slide presentations detailing the current design / analysis status and relevant assumptions. 
  • Participate in engineering technical reviews and design / product configuration decisions. 
  • Provide other design engineers with recommendations to improve product performance or simplify manufacturing. 
  • Assist in the assembly and testing of various pieces of hardware with junior and senior engineers. 
  • Act as a mentor for less experienced mechanical engineers on the team. 
  • Continuously improve technical knowledge based on new developments in structural design / analysis methodologies and software. 



Qualifications 

  • Degreed professional in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field. 
  • Demonstrated progression in technical responsibilities. 
  • Minimum 3 years of experience as a mechanical engineer, preferably in the Aerospace Industry, ideally 6+ years of experience. 
  • Experience performing engineering design of mechanical components / assemblies is required.  
  • Experience performing structural analysis is highly desired. 
  • Demonstrated proficiency in Solidworks design, assembly, and drafting. 
  • To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. 



5 Reasons You Will Love Working for Newton 

  • We are a fast growing and dynamic company offering a wide range of growth and learning opportunities.  
  • You will be part of a team made up of engineers who share your passion for engineering and science. 
  • We are still a young company. Your work matters. A lot. 
  • You get to work on many different projects with a wide range of requirements. You will face new challenges every day. You will not be bored with us. 
  • We care for the well being of our employees. Our competitive benefits and flexible working schedule are just a few of the perks of being a Newton employee.
