Mechanic Design information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a mechanical designer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Mechanical Designer, you need a strong background in mechanical engineering principles, proficiency in technical drawing, and typically a relevant degree or certification. Familiarity with CAD software (such as AutoCAD or SolidWorks) and simulation tools is crucial for creating and analyzing design models. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and good communication skills help ensure accurate designs and effective collaboration with engineering teams. These skills are vital for producing innovative, manufacturable designs that meet project requirements and industry standards.

What is the difference between Mechanic Design vs Mechanical Engineering?

AspectMechanic DesignMechanical Engineering
Required CredentialsAssociate's or Bachelor's in Mechanical Design, CAD certificationsBachelor's or higher in Mechanical Engineering, PE license often preferred
Work EnvironmentDesign studios, CAD labs, manufacturing settingsResearch labs, manufacturing plants, consulting firms
Industry UsageProduct design, prototyping, CAD modelingSystem design, thermodynamics, structural analysis

Mechanic Design focuses on creating detailed product models and prototypes using CAD tools, often with specific design certifications. Mechanical Engineering covers a broader scope, including analysis, system design, and engineering principles, often requiring a PE license. Both roles are integral to manufacturing and product development but differ in scope and credentials.

What are some common challenges faced by mechanical design engineers in project development?

Mechanical design engineers often encounter challenges such as balancing innovation with manufacturability, managing strict project timelines, and ensuring compliance with industry standards. Collaboration with cross-functional teams—such as manufacturing, electrical, and quality assurance—is essential to address design constraints and optimize product performance. Staying up to date with evolving CAD tools and rapidly changing technology also requires continuous learning and adaptation.

What is a mechanic design?

A Mechanic Design refers to a professional who specializes in designing mechanical systems and components, often using computer-aided design (CAD) software. These individuals are responsible for creating blueprints, models, and specifications for machines, tools, engines, and other mechanical devices. Mechanic Design professionals play a key role in ensuring that designs are efficient, functional, and manufacturable while meeting safety and regulatory standards. They often collaborate with engineers, manufacturers, and other stakeholders throughout the development process.

Job description

Position Overview

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to support satellite mechanical subsystem and payload development programs. This role is responsible for structural architecture layout, primary and secondary structure design, analysis, assembly, and test support, including detailed design definition of parts and assemblies, management of mechanical interfaces between subsystems, and the analysis reports, interface control drawings, and manufacturing documentation that accompany them. The ideal candidate is innovative, hands-on, and thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional technical environments, capable of leading a small team while also executing assignments autonomously. 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Perform mechanical design and computer-aided modeling of space hardware, including final detailed design definition of parts and assemblies and management of mechanical interfaces between subsystems.
  • Conduct structural, mechanical system, and satellite payload equipment layout studies to determine optimal system architecture in terms of simplicity, performance, mass, and cost.
  • Develop and maintain mechanical and structural design documentation at system and equipment level: mechanical analysis reports, interface control drawings, tooling and fixturing, and manufacturing documentation.
  • Support creation of developmental and qualification test procedures (vibration, shock, TVAC, assembly).
  • Prepare and present the information required to conduct thorough design and readiness reviews with management and peers.
  • Coordinate with manufacturing and production to ensure successful transfer of information and that efficient processes are understood and documented.
  • Evaluate and champion new technologies and methods. 

Qualifications 

Education:

Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical field; an advanced degree is preferred.

Experience:

A minimum of 12 years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, integration, and testing of spacecraft and spacecraft components. 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Strong technical skill in design of satellite assemblies for launch and on-orbit environments, as well as design for manufacturability.
  • Experience using standard analytical tools and classical structural analysis methods to support sizing and trade studies.
  • Knowledge of, or experience with, launch vehicle integration.
  • Experience operating in a Windchill PLM environment.
  • Advanced degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering. 

Soft Skills:

  • Innovative and creative approach to problem solving, with a willingness to challenge the status quo.
  • Demonstrated ability to work in a multidisciplinary team with other engineers.
  • Ability to lead a small team while also carrying assignments autonomously.
  • Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Excellent English written and verbal communication skills. 

Technology Stack:

  • CAD: Siemens NX preferred; CATIA, SolidWorks, or CREO also considered.
  • PLM / product data management: Windchill.
  • Standard analytical tools and classical structural analysis methods for sizing and trade studies. 

Physical Requirements 

  • Ability to work in a standard office environment and use a computer for extended periods.
  • Willingness to travel 25%-50% of the time.

This job description may not be inclusive to the duties and responsibilities listed. Additional tasks may be assigned to the employee from time to time or the scope of the job may change as needed by business demands.
