About This Role

The Mechanical Engineer must be a highly motivated, hands-on, and self-driven team player that can perform in a dynamic engineering environment.  The preferred candidate will have a broad technical knowledge base of mechanical engineering concepts to support the development and design of all facets of simulation training devices. 

We believe people should love what they do – in this role, you will be responsible for:

• Researching, designing, evaluating, installing, operating, and maintaining electro-mechanical products, systems, and processes to support new and existing simulation training devices.


• Designing new component parts, assemblies, and production drawings using 3D CAD software.


• Altering and/or modifying existing designs to achieve specified functional and operational performance.


• Reviewing and evaluating existing mechanical design drawings and specifications.


• Overseeing installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of designs to ensure that equipment and systems are installed and functioning according to specifications.


• Creating and presenting design and engineering descriptive data for internal and customer design reviews.


• Researching and analyzing data, such as customer design proposals, specifications, and manuals to determine feasibility of design modifications or new system applications.


• Writing performance requirements for product development or engineering projects.


• Keeping current on future technologies and products to determine where and how such products can be incorporated into designs.

You will be part of highly skilled team and need to interface with other team members, including those of other engineering disciplines.
