  • A bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics from an ABET-accredited institution.
  • At least 5 years of related experience.
  • An active SECRET security clearance.
  • Experience with fluid systems design.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks or similar computer-aided design modeling software for developing detailed parts, assemblies, and corresponding 2D drawings.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks Simulation or comparable finite element analysis software.

Responsibilities

  • Design and evaluate complex mechanical and electromechanical systems, subsystems, and components for aviation, ground, and weapon-system platforms.
  • Design Military Standard-compliant systems and components, including modifications to existing Department of Defense systems.
  • Interface with design-team members and government customers to support program success.
  • Prepare design specifications, analyses, and recommendations for technical interchanges, preliminary design reviews, critical design reviews, fabrication readiness reviews, and physical configuration audits.
  • Develop efficient, cost-effective, and functional mechanical designs using SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation.
  • Develop complex hydraulic fluid-system designs, including system integration, schematics, flow paths, pressure and flow analysis, theory of operation, troubleshooting, design verification, piping design, and pressure/stress calculations in accordance with ASME standards such as B31.3.
  • Design, size, route, and install tubing and piping, including fittings, bend requirements, and supports.
  • Select and integrate valves, manifolds, regulators, filters, pumps, hydraulic power units, instrumentation, quick-disconnects, and fittings.
  • Design and integrate hydraulic test equipment, test procedures, system interfaces, safety measures, maintainability considerations, and operator considerations.
  • Create finite-element-analysis-based structural, piping, thermal, and flow analyses to validate mechanical and electromechanical designs.
  • Generate engineering reports supporting structural, computational fluid dynamics, thermal, vibration, and multiphysics analyses.
  • Develop Level III technical data packages for novel mechanical and electromechanical designs.
  • Provide mechanical engineering support for potential re-engineering tasks, modification work orders, and engineering change proposals.
  • Support the complete production process by collaborating with project engineers, fabricators, technical writers, and program managers to ensure successful fielding of systems.
  • See designs through the full development cycle from initial concept through fabrication and testing.

Desired Qualifications

  • Familiarity with ASME standards and experience working in ISO- or AS 9100-accredited quality programs.
  • Proficiency with Creo computer-aided design software.
  • Proficiency with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2018.
