Job Title: Mechanical Engineer
Location: Dayton, Ohio
Who You Are: You see a technical problem and immediately start figuring out how to build the solution.
Maybe the team needs a fixture that does not exist. Maybe an aircraft component needs to be reverse engineered. Maybe a 3D scanner captured the geometry, but somebody needs to turn those points into a useful engineering model. Maybe an evaluation needs a test device next week and there is no catalog number for what the scientists just dreamed up. That is where you come in.
You like CAD, scanners, prototypes, fabrication, measurement systems, aircraft, and solving practical engineering problems.
You are just as comfortable at a computer as you are in a laboratory, fabrication environment, performing evaluations or around an aircraft.
