Mechanical Engineer II or III

Overview

The Mechanical Engineer II or III – will work with or lead assigned engineering teams to support the design and analysis of aircraft, ground, and/or sea military hardware, missionization kits, and other type modifications to ensure the integrity of the designed systems in the appropriate operational settings.

Responsibilities

• • As a team member or as mechanical lead, support the development of new design concepts utilizing information from customer requirements, existing drawings, and on-site aircraft or ground vehicle surveys.
  • Convert design concepts and requirements into detailed designs for assemblies, sub-assemblies, and the supporting piece parts using 3D CAD software.
  • Use mock-ups and / or 3D printed parts to verify fit or other functional requirements prior to committing to a final design.
  • Familiar with interpretation and utilization of GD&T (AMSE 14.5).
  • Work intimately with the structural analysis group as well as manufacturing to ensure designs meet performance requirements as well as can be efficiently manufactured.
  • Support aircraft or ground vehicle modification and / or mission kit development programs from initial site surveys, through design / analysis, manufacturing and integration support, to project completion.
  • Prepare, review, and evaluate documentation, specifications, test plans and procedures.
  • Experienced with the development of briefing material for design review milestones (SRR, PDR, CDR) and supporting presentations to the customer.
  • Possesses knowledge of industry practices, standards, and technology in the aviation / aerospace arena.
  • Assists in definition and trade-off studies in support of early design activities. Reviews, evaluates, and analyzes design interfaces.
  • Develop or support the development of engineering reports such as Weight and Balance Reports using calculated and / or actual weight data covering new installs as well as removed systems / components.
  • Works under general supervision, follows established procedures, and solves routine problems in the engineering discipline.
  • Review / approved work products developed by other engineers such as engineering drawings and technical reports.
  • Depending on experience, provide daily supervision and direction to supporting engineers and drafting personnel on associated programs.
  • Performs other duties as assigned.
