In this role, you will collaborate with other engineers to design mechanical components for prototyping or parts for experimental rigs. To accomplish the given tasks, you must be familiar with mechanical design using CAD (preferably SolidWorks) and applying engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of the designed components. You should have an excellent understanding of the engineering design process, leading proof-of-concept ideas towards validated solutions. Communication and documentation are critical as you will often need to prepare slides (or other documents) to present to the team, whether it is to describe detailed designs or to discuss project progress.

Responsibilities

• Design using 3D CAD and develop design from proof-of-concept to final manufacturable component
• Perform 1D calculations and/or conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations
• Design and assembly of in-house equipment to test products and product concepts
• Prepare drawings to manufacture prototypes or components of an experimental setup
• Validate new designs and technologies through benchtop or larger-scale testing
• Participate in brainstorming sessions to develop new ideas
• Organize and/or attend meetings with team to discuss project tasks and schedule
• Prepare presentations and slides to communicate ideas and/or progress on projects
• Reports to Engineering Manager or senior Mechanical Engineers

Qualifications

• Must be independent and self-motivated, demonstrating strong analytical skills and creative thinking

Eligibility Requirements

Any offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a background investigation and drug screen. Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.

Preferred Skills

• Understanding of compressible flow
• Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and performing simulations in ANSYS Mechanical
• Knowledge of Additive Manufacturing (AM), specifically DMLS, and DFAM techniques
• Knowledge of GD&T and application to engineering drawings
• Experience with experimental setups and equipment in a hands-on environment

Benefits

Pay rates for this position begin at $24/hour and increase for each undergraduate year completed. Relocation support and housing assistance is available for those who relocate to a new city.

This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information.
