Mechanical Engineer II or III

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.

• 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.
