ARL is an authorized DoD SkillBridge partner and welcomes all transitioning military members to apply.

You Will:

• Create 3D models in Siemens NX

• Create detailed drawings of components and assemblies

• Perform tolerance stacks and apply appropriate tolerancing and GD&T

• Collaborate with project leadership with the conceptual design of complex electromechanical systems and subsystems

• Collaborate with engineering staff in developing, defining, and/or deriving requirements to support the design of engineering products

• Develop assembly and test procedures

• Assemble and test hardware

• Support field testing

Additional responsibilities for higher level positions:

• Works independently on moderately complex work assignments, reviews progress, and evaluates results

• Presents ideas, concepts, and instructions in a clear and persuasive manner to both internal and external audiences
