Advanced Mechanical Design Engineer - Wheel and Brakes Structure
About The Position
As a Mechanical Design Engineer II - Wheel and Brakes Structures at Honeywell Aerospace, you will work on a team designing aircraft wheels and brakes for the commercial and military aerospace industries. You will perform structural analysis on aircraft wheels and brake assemblies throughout all phases of the IPDS process and interact with engineering representatives in South Bend, Indiana, and at other sites, including China, India, and Mexico. The role also involves helping improve engineering processes by eliminating non-value-added tasks and introducing automation through Python and other methods. The job description includes people-leader expectations related to building and supporting employees, developing talent and successors, improving retention and engagement, and fostering an inclusive culture. The position requires a relevant bachelor's degree and at least two years of experience or relevant coursework in at least two specified analysis, modeling, or mechanical design areas. A relevant master's degree may substitute for the two years of experience. Honeywell values additional aerospace, testing, programming, and independent-work experience.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
- At least two years of experience or relevant coursework in at least two of the following areas: static analysis, including nonlinear and elevated-temperature material behavior; structural dynamics; fatigue analysis for crack initiation; damage tolerance analysis for crack growth using NASGRO; creep analysis; finite element modeling using ANSYS, ABAQUS, and/or NASTRAN; or mechanical design using Siemens NX, Catia, or a similar CAD package.
- A relevant master's degree is acceptable in lieu of two years of experience.
- Must be a U.S. person, defined as a U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident, or a person with protected status in the U.S. under asylum or refugee status.
