We are looking for a Mechanical Designer to support Mechanical Power Conversion (MPC) who is a team player with a high level of initiative and the ability to work in an environment of rapidly changing priorities designing complex aerospace products.

Mechanical Designers at Collins work directly with engineering staff to produce 3-D models and 2-D layout drawings of the product to meet both engineering and customer requirements.  Models and layouts show the complete definition of all components with consideration for manufacture and assembly.  Designers are also responsible for creating and maintaining a complete BOM, using existing components where possible.  The selected candidate must be competent in aspects of engineering drawings depicting mechanical product details, assemblies, and outlines.  Duties will include model creation, view depiction, generation of proper nomenclature, and the application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).  Ultimately, our Designers have the responsibility to accurately capture the design of the product with detailed models and drawings to support the manufacture of the individual parts and assembly of the product.

This position is Onsite, with Hybrid options as a future possibility.
