Leidos · Onsite · Huntsville, AL
Leidos’ Defense Systems Mechanical Design & Analysis Department is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to join our team in Huntsville Alabama designing the next generation of air defense launchers to protect America and its allies. You will use Solidworks and Creo CAD software and Windchill PLM software daily to turn ideas into designs. Then you’ll work alongside the production team to turn your designs into hardware.

This is a fast-paced program with unique technical challenges that will be a rewarding milestone in any engineering career.
