Proficiency in Siemens NX and parametric modeling.
Strong understanding of GD&T, manufacturability, and subsystem integration.
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
Strong communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.

Nice To Haves

Engine or propulsion component design experience.
Experience supporting CAE/analysis workflows.
Prior exposure to virtual integration or multi-disciplinary design reviews.
Candidates from suppliers or OEMs with engine background are encouraged to apply.

Responsibilities

Support designers with design tasks, component requirements, and other virtual integration activities.
Develop, refine, and finalize Criteria and Sections for assigned components or systems.
Ensure compliance with Design Standards, Best Practices, and Global infoBOOK requirements.
Apply knowledge of manufacturability, Design for Assembly (DFA), and integration principles to part and subsystem designs.
Actively participate in—or lead—design and virtual reviews.
Document and maintain material specifications, mass data, and other attributes within the math file.
Perform NX analysis with support from the DLT or Senior Designer and apply results to subsystem designs.
Collaborate with engineers, designers, and technical teams to meet product design requirements.
Integrate component and subsystem designs into the overall system architecture.
Stay informed on current product developments, technology trends, and best practices.
Share lessons learned with the broader design community and recommend updates to design standards.
Create math models or virtual layouts of complex components and subsystems.
Proactively communicate project status, timing, and technical issues to the Design Manager, DLT, and DRE.
Ensure high-quality, on-time math release of assigned components and subsystems.
Identify new learning areas and participate in ongoing training and skill-development opportunities.
