Job Description

The Electrical and Mechanical Computer-Aided Design (ECAD/MCAD) Engineer will be responsible for mechanical design tasks using SolidWorks, including creating models, detailed drawings, and Bills of Materials (BOMs). Additionally, this role requires expertise in Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools, such as OrCAD Capture/Allegro or Altium Designer for schematic capture and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between mechanical and electronic design to ensure seamless product integration.

This role supports engineering work that helps identify and define new restoration capabilities for the Navy’s C4ISR Restoration Depot, including designing, evaluating, planning, testing, and operating C4ISR electrical, electronic, mechanical, and/or computer components, equipment, and systems.

Key Responsibilities:
• Develop and maintain mechanical CAD models, detailed drawings, and BOMs using SolidWorks.
• Perform schematic capture and PCB layout using OrCAD Capture / Allegro or Altium Designer.
• Collaborate closely with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to ensure design accuracy and manufacturability.
• Support design reviews and troubleshoot design-related issues.
• Maintain documentation and revision control for mechanical and electronic designs.
• Assist in prototyping and testing as needed.
