Job Description SummaryJob Description
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 attending 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
- U.S. Citizenship / Ability to pass background investigation & drug screening
- Attending a full-time matriculated and national accredited BS, BE, or MS program in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related field
- Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA off a 4.0 scale without rounding
- Ability to work well in a team environment and coordinate between various teams and disciplines
- Proficient with 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred)
- Strong understanding of engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks
- Skilled with Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel and PowerPoint
- Excellent communication and documentation skills
- Must be independent and self-motivated, demonstrating strong analytical skills and creative thinking
Preferred Skills
- Strong 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
This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
