Mechanical Design Engineer (Associate or Mid-Level)

Boeing • Saint Louis, MO

134d • $76,500 - $128,800 • Onsite

About The Position

Boeing Global Services (BGS) is currently seeking an Associate or Mid-Level Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) engineering design team in Hazelwood, MO supporting Boeing Phantom Works and Air Dominance Military Programs. This team is responsible for creating a wide range of products to support military aircraft maintenance activity and ground operations. Basic Ground Support Equipment product examples include aircraft slings, engine installation equipment, landing gear installation equipment, handling dollies, and a variety of subsystems component installation equipment. Additional GSE products include protective covers and remove before flight gear. Mechanical Ground Support Equipment Design is a niche within the aerospace industry that offers mechanical engineers countless opportunities to learn about and work with most aircraft systems without being tied to one specific area. Candidates proficient and interested in mechanical device creation and development should apply. The candidate selected for this position will mature existing design concepts into deliverable products and have opportunities to develop mechanical products from scratch. The work environment is an office setting, collocated with other mechanical design engineers. Occasional domestic travel to support fabrication, assembly and test of new products may be required.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science.
• 2 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience.
• Proficiency in advanced CAD modeling software (NX, Catia or Solidworks).

Nice To Haves

• 3 + years of higher education and/or related work experience.
• Experience with mechanism design, mechanical tolerancing and product development.
• Willingness to work outside the office environment supporting and incorporating feedback from machine shops, mechanics and assembly technicians.
• Experience interpreting 2 dimensional engineering drawings.
• Experience in cost efficient prototyping and creating functional proof of concepts.
• Experience handling multiple projects at once.
• Experience with engineering materials and material properties.
• Experience with mechanical ground support equipment.
• Working knowledge and experience creating engineering definition of detail parts and assemblies requiring machining, welding, and post processing.
• Ability to communicate with others and work on a team.
• Technically minded with a high value placed on attention to detail.

Responsibilities

• Utilize NX and Teamcenter to mature existing conceptual mechanical equipment designs of simple to medium complexity into functional products.
• Provide input and recommendations for new 3-D engineering layouts.
• Develop 3-D models, designs / drawings and 2-D drawing changes for a wide variety of mechanical ground support equipment.
• Make engineering design recommendations based on analysis, loads, material properties, configurations, safety factors, etc.
• Support design maturation by selecting and incorporating common mechanical components into designs.
• Participate in informal peer design reviews.
• Develop and apply knowledge of materials, material compatibility and corrosion prevention to improve product designs.
• Understand and apply model-based dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to new detail parts and assemblies.
• Evaluate supplier hardware non-conformances and material substitutions.
• Work under general supervision with advisement from more experienced engineers.
• Work with strength engineers to incorporate sizing updates into CAD models.
• Lay out and develop new equipment design concepts for undeveloped need areas.
• Coordinate GSE attachment schemes and interfaces with other engineering groups.
• Support internal, informal peer reviews and formal design reviews as needed.
• Train and coach early career engineers.
• Work independently under minimal direction.

Benefits

• Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities.
• Health insurance.
• Flexible spending accounts.
• Health savings accounts.
• Retirement savings plans.
• Life and disability insurance programs.
• Programs that provide for both paid and unpaid time away from work.
