Key Responsibilities:
- Design and develop mechanical components and assemblies for armored vehicles using CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CATIA, and Creo)
- Integrate armor and ballistic protection systems into vehicle platforms
- Perform structural and thermal analysis (FEA and CFD) to validate design integrity and performance
- Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams (electrical, systems, and manufacturing) to ensure seamless integration
- Generate and maintain detailed drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation
- Support prototype builds, testing, and production readiness activities
- Ensure compliance with relevant defense standards and regulations (e.g., STANAG and MIL-STD)
Requirements:
- Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- Minimum 35 years of experience in mechanical design (preferably in armored or military vehicle platforms)
- Proficiency in 3D CAD and simulation tools
- Understanding of materials used in ballistic protection (e.g., composites, high-hardness steels, and ceramics)
- Strong knowledge of GD&T, DFM/DFA, and manufacturing processes
- Ability to work in a high-security, fast-paced engineering environment
- Excellent problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills
