Job description

United States Bullet Proofing, Inc. (USBP) is seeking a Design Engineer to support the development, refinement, and continuous improvement of aluminum door and window systems. This role owns designs from concept through production release, with an emphasis on physical security performance - including ballistic resistance, forced entry resistance, and blast mitigation. The ideal candidate combines strong mechanical design fundamentals with hands-on knowledge of door hardware, laminated glass layups, and manufacturing processes, and is comfortable coordinating across internal teams, outside test labs, and partner engineering firms. Key Responsibilities

  • Design, detail, and document aluminum door and window assemblies and components using 3D CAD

software, producing manufacturing-ready drawings and models.

  • Develop and refine products for physical security applications, including ballistic-resistant, forced-entry resistant, and blast-mitigating configurations.
  • Select and specify door hardware and laminated glass layups to meet performance, code, and customer

requirements.

  • Coordinate with internal stakeholders (engineering, production, quality, sales) and external partners - test

labs and outside engineering firms - to plan, execute, and interpret product testing (ballistic, forced entry, blast, and related certifications).

  • Continuously evaluate existing products to identify opportunities for immediate improvements and next generation redesigns.
  • Develop, document, and maintain internal design and engineering standards, and ensure the team follows

them consistently.

  • Own document and revision control for drawings, specifications, and test records, ensuring accuracy and

traceability throughout the product lifecycle.

  • Maintain organized records of product development and testing documentation, including test reports,

certifications, and design history files.

  • Support root-cause analysis and corrective actions for design- or manufacturing-related issues identified in

production or the field.

  • Communicate design status, risks, and technical findings clearly to engineering leadership and cross functional teams., Job Title: Sr Mechanical Engineer Job Description This Sr Mechanical Engineer role leads the development of innovative, complex electromechanical systems from initial concept t…

Requirements

  • Minimum: Associate degree in Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Preferred: Bachelor of Engineering (BE) or Bachelor of Science (BS) in Engineering., * Experience designing or engineering products for manufacturing, with direct exposure to aluminum door

and window systems.

  • Working knowledge of AutoCAD Inventor or SolidWorks (or comparable 3D CAD platform).
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with internal

stakeholders, test labs, and outside engineering firms.

  • Highly organized, with strong attention to detail and a disciplined approach to document and revision

control.

  • Self-starter who takes initiative to learn new codes, standards, materials, and testing methods without

prompting.

  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent projects and shifting priorities in a fast-paced manufacturing

environment.

  • Minimum 5 plus years of related experience., * Experience with physical security performance requirements: ballistics, forced entry, and blast resistance.
  • Familiarity with door hardware selection and laminated glass layup design.
  • Experience working with independent test labs and understanding of relevant test standards and certification

processes.

  • Prior experience developing or maintaining internal engineering standards or design guidelines.
