Mechanical Design Engineer / Creo, GD&T, ASME Y14

Global Engineering & Technology, Inc. (GET) • Santa Fe, NM

2d • $115,000 - $135,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Global Engineering & Technology (GET) is hiring multiple Mechanical Design Engineers to support national security work at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), checking design definition for the first new weapon system program in over 30 years. The position is 100% onsite in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Long-term travel arrangements and per diem are available subject to LANL travel guidelines.

The role applies expertise in Creo 3D CAD, hardware design and fabrication, GD&T, and engineering concepts. The engineer checks models and drawings, supports product definition and models-based definition (MBD), conducts tolerance and stack analyses, and helps ensure designs meet requirements and are producible. Work involves complex or unique technical problems and requires ingenuity, creativity, and independence. Completed work is expected to meet expert standards without appreciable direction. The engineer may guide teams through design iterations to address potential engineering defects and may mentor junior staff in MBD and GD&T.

The position requires a U.S. citizen who can obtain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance. A current Top Secret or DOE Q clearance is highly sought after but is not required. Compensation is $115,000–$135,000 per year, depending on qualifications.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Science, Math, or a related field from an accredited institution, plus 8 years of directly related experience; or an equivalent combination of education and directly related mechanical design experience.
• Advanced understanding of mechanical CAD and Creo.
• Experience with mechanical CAD, manufacturing, inspection, assembly, and testing.
• Experience checking Creo models and drawings for form, fit, and function and with models-based definition (MBD).
• Experience conducting tolerance and stack analyses and applying current design standards.
• Mechanical design experience ensuring product definition meets requirements and producibility goals while reducing rejected products.
• Experience with Creo 3D CAD software, PDMLink Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), GD&T, and tolerance stack-up analysis software.
• Familiarity with ASME Y14 standards, particularly Y14.5-2009 and Y14.41 MBD.
• Experience developing and interpreting 3D CAD model standards, practices, and procedures for communicating design intent.
• Knowledge of hardware fabrication, inspection, and assembly processes.
• Experience with weapon-system configuration management workflows for product-definition authorization, review, release, and distribution.
• Ability to work on multiple tasks for a variety of customers.
• Experience leading design, manufacture, assembly, and test reviews.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and ability to develop constructive, cooperative working relationships and support multidisciplinary teams.
• U.S. citizenship.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Current Top Secret or DOE Q security clearance.
• Nuclear, SSP, or NNSA experience.

Responsibilities

• Check Creo models and drawings for form, fit, and function, including models-based definition.
• Conduct tolerance and stack analyses and ensure compliance with current design standards.
• Ensure product definition meets requirements, supports design intent and producibility, and helps reduce rejected products.
• Recommend MBD best practices and methods for improvement while maintaining compliance with NNSA, LANL, and industry standards.
• Apply and interpret 3D CAD model standards, practices, and procedures for communicating design intent within and across Nuclear Security Enterprise organizations.
• Work with hardware fabrication, inspection, and assembly processes.
• Use weapon-system configuration management workflows for authorization, review, release, and distribution of models, drawings, specifications, and related product definition.
• Work on multiple tasks for varied customers to ensure product definition meets requirements and design intent.
• Lead reviews for design, manufacture, assembly, and tests.
• Guide teams through design iterations to address potential engineering defects.
• Mentor junior staff on models-based definition and GD&T, as needed.
• Support teams of engineers, physicists, scientists, technologists, and technicians in product development.

Benefits

• Medical plan options with UnitedHealthcare; spouse/family coverage is available at a company-subsidized rate.
• Dental insurance.
• Long-term and short-term disability insurance.
• Life insurance.
• AD&D insurance.
• Generous 401(k) match.
