Design Integrity Checker

RTX•McKinney, TX

5d•$86,800 - $165,200•Onsite

About The Position

The Hardware Design Integrity (HWDI) department enables program execution quality and on-time-delivery by ensuring integrity, compliance, security and process efficiency of our technical data, designs and systems. HWDI is part of the Product Integrity center, alongside Configuration and Data Management (CMDM). The Design Integrity team is looking to add multiple Design Integrity Checkers to the team. This opportunity is onsite in McKinney, Texas. The role can accommodate individuals with a mechanical engineering or electrical engineering background, provided they meet the essential qualifications for one of the specializations. Mechanical Design Checker: This role involves performing design verification and validation of traditional Mechanical 2D Drawings and Model-Based Design TDPs. The checker will ensure that mechanical design documentation and models for machined parts, castings, and fabricated items are accurate. They will review mechanical design drawings, documentation, and associated electronic data output files for production and/or procurement to ensure design producibility, data integrity, quality, and consistency. The verification will confirm that designs meet form, fit, and function requirements, adhering to Company and Industry Specifications & Standards, and that design representations (drawings) are synchronized with their derived design database models. This role ensures compliance with ASME Y14.41 and MIL-STD-31000 standards. Electrical Design Checker: This role provides formal, systematic, design verification and validation of traditional Electrical 2D TDPs, including circuit card assembly, printed wiring board, and schematic design representations, electronic Bills of Material (eBOMs), and design models created with CAD tools. Specific applications used include EXPEDITION-DxDESIGNER, BLUEPRINT, VALOR, and EXCEL for eBOM comparisons. Experience with Electrical Model-Based Engineering (MBE) concepts and eBOMs is required. The role also supports reviews of Software documents per Program Requirements. Similar to the mechanical role, it ensures synchronization between design representations (drawings) and design database models, and compliance with ASME Y14.41 and MIL-STD-31000 standards. Training may be provided for the checker to also verify the opposing design TDP.

Requirements

Typically requires a Bachelor’s of Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and 5 years of prior relevant experience OR an Advanced degree in a related field and a minimum of 3 years’ experience OR In absence of a degree, 9 years of relevant experience is required.
5 years of experience designing, drafting, and/or verifying / validating detailed Technical Data Packages (TDPs).
Experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD) design / drafting.
Must have experience in one of these two areas with required skills.
For Mechanical Design Checker: Experience with at least one of the following: PTC Creo Suite, Creo / ProE, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Raster, Canvas, GTXImage, and/or Myriad.
For Electrical Design Checker: Experience with Electrical software packages, i.e. Mentor Boardstation, EXPEDITION-DxDESIGNER, or related.
Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.
U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.

Ability to collaborate with various engineering disciplines and leadership levels, and negotiate critical discussions for solutions that meet program needs to align with design / drafting requirements. (Multi-disciplined support potential)
Electrical Computer Aided Design (CAD) design / drafting experience; MentorGraphics design applications (DxDesigner, Valor), DownStream Technologies (BluePrint-PCB), and other electrical change comparison software, Electrical Model-Based Engineering (MBE) concepts and electronic Bills of Material (eBOMs) experience.
Problem solving and process development / improvement capability, and the ability to grasp and ultimately adapt to continuously evolving technologies, processes, procedures, and best practices. (Multi-disciplined support potential)
Mechanical Computer Aided Design (CAD) design / drafting experience; Creo/ProE design applications and other mechanical drafting applications.

Responsibilities

Perform design verification and validation of traditional Mechanical 2D Drawings as well as “Model-Based” Design TDPs.
Ensure that mechanical design documentation and models consist of both complex and simple machined parts, castings, and other fabricated items.
Ensure that mechanical design drawings, documentation, and associated electronic data output files used for production and / or procurement will undergo a comprehensive verification and validation review for design producibility and data integrity, quality, and consistency.
Confirm that mechanical traditional and Model Based Designs are checked for form, fit, and function to program unique requirements while conforming to specific Company and Industry Specifications & Standards.
Confirm that the synchronization of design representation (drawings) with the design database models from which they were derived, is authenticated.
Ensuring that the design verification and validation follows ASME Y14.41 and MIL-STD-31000 standards.
Providing a formal, systematic, design verification and validation of traditional Electrical 2D TDPs.
Electrical TDPs will encompass the circuit card assembly (or flexible circuit assembly), printed wiring board, and schematic design representation (drawings); including electronic Bills of Material (eBOMs), and design models developed using computer aided design tools.
Support reviews of Software documents per Program Requirements.
Confirm that the synchronization of design representation (drawings) with the design database models from which they were derived, is authenticated.
Ensuring that the design verification and validation is in compliance with ASME Y14.41 and MIL-STD-31000 standards.
The selected candidate may (with training) also be responsible for verification and validation of the opposing design TDP mentioned above.
