Mechanical Designer III

The Mechanical Designer III is responsible for developing detailed 3D models and engineering drawings for electro-mechanical actuation and valve assemblies used in aerospace fluid handling and utility systems. These products include electromechanical actuators (EMAs), valves, pumps, sensors, and related components.

Working closely with a Lead Engineer and cross-functional teams, this individual supports proposal efforts, new product development, and sustaining engineering activities. The role also provides direct support to manufacturing and test operations through tooling design, production improvements, and configuration control.

Essential Responsibilities

• Develop detailed parts, assemblies, and drawings using Creo, SolidWorks, and/or CATIA
• Ensure all designs comply with applicable drawing standards, including ASME Y14.100 and ANSI Y14.5 GD&T
• Collaborate with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain teams to support product development and production
• Identify, document, and communicate discrepancies in models and drawings
• Apply ITT standard procedures for drawing release, revision control, and configuration management
• Complete sustaining engineering work orders to support production, cost, and quality improvements
• Support Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
• Provide Material Review Board (MRB) support in coordination with Lead Engineers
• Generate and support Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) and engineering data transmittals
• Support assembly and manufacturing operations by clarifying work instructions and developing tooling, fixtures, and test support drawings

Position Requirements

• Education / Experience (one of the following):
• Associate's degree with 10+ years hands-on experience drafting mechanical assemblies
• Bachelor's degree with 5+ years hands-on experience drafting mechanical assemblies
• 15+ years of relevant professional experience in lieu of a degree
• Strong working knowledge of aerospace standards, specifications, and design practices
• Proficiency in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) per ANSI Y14.5
• Advanced experience with 3D CAD modeling and detailed drawing creation
• Hands-on experience using Creo (preferred), Wildfire, SolidWorks, and/or CATIA
• Ability to perform tolerance stack-up and tolerance analysis
• Proven ability to work independently, manage priorities, and meet deadlines with minimal supervision
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to effectively collaborate with internal customers
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a team-oriented environment
• Aerospace industry experience strongly preferred

Nice-to-Have

• Experience with aerospace fluid systems or electromechanical actuation hardware
• Familiarity with AS9100 or FAA/EASA regulatory environments
• Experience supporting production ramp-ups or new product introductions (NPI)

Equal Pay Act Statement

We aim to pay our 'ITT'ers' fairly and competitively in the locations that they live and work. Pay-for-performance is a principle that we believe in, and employees are rewarded based not only on 'what' they accomplish, but also on 'how' they reflect ITT's values. ITT offers a competitive salary and robust total rewards package, such as health insurance, 401(k), short and long-term disability, paid time off, growth and developmental opportunities, and other incentive compensation programs. Specific benefits are dependent upon whether or not the position is part of a collective-bargaining agreement. The salary offered to a candidate is based several factors such as candidate experience and qualifications, location, as well as market and business considerations.
