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.
