    The Opportunity:

    CACI has an immediate opening for Mechanical Engineer. This position sits full time onsite at our Dulles, VA location. You will take ownership of complex projects from design to build and test. You will work in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, collaborating across engineering, manufacturing, and test teams to deliver innovative solutions for advanced hardware systems. This role requires strong proficiency in 3D CAD modeling and PLM systems along with hands-on mechanical build experience, and a background in testing components in demanding environments. A candidate with a Top Secret level clearance is preferred, but if you do not possess a clearance, this is an amazing opportunity to obtain one as we will sponsor your clearance.

    Responsibilities

    + Design, model, and document complex mechanical systems, assemblies, and components.

    + Manage CAD data and configuration using PLM software.

    + Develop engineering drawings, specifications, and BOMs that meet ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards.

    + Perform design trade studies, tolerance analysis, and material selection for demanding applications.

    + Collaborate with manufacturing to ensure designs are producible, cost-effective, and high quality.

    + Participate in prototype builds, assembly, and troubleshooting of mechanical hardware.

    + Support and execute component- and system-level testing, including environmental testing (thermal, vibration, shock, etc.).

    + Work cross-functionally with engineers from multiple disciplines to integrate mechanical systems into larger assemblies.

    + Contribute to continuous improvement of design, test, and build processes.

    Qualifications:

    Required:

    + BS in Mechanical Engineering

    + 5+ years of industry experience in mechanical design, analysis, and testing.

    + Strong proficiency with SolidWorks and PDM/PLM systems.

    + Proven experience creating and releasing complex mechanical models, drawings, and assemblies.

    + Knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and mechanical drafting standards.

    + Hands-on experience with mechanical hardware builds, assembly, and integration.

    + Experience supporting or executing mechanical/environmental testing (thermal, vibration, shock, or structural).

    + Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment and manage multiple priorities.

    + Strong problem-solving skills, initiative, and ability to work both independently and in teams.

    + US Citizenship required due to government clearance specifications.

    Desired:

    + Top Secret (TS) Clearance.

    + MS in Mechanical Engineering.

    + Experience with aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability industries.

    + Experience with test planning, instrumentation, and data analysis.
