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

Global Engineering & Technology, Inc. (GET) • Panhandle, TX

2d • $147,500 - $165,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Global Engineering & Technology (GET) is hiring 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 role requires expertise in Creo 3D CAD, hardware design and fabrication, GD&T, and engineering concepts. Engineers may guide multidisciplinary teams through design iterations to address potential engineering defects, lead technical work on complex or unique problems, and mentor junior staff on model-based definition (MBD) and GD&T. Completed work is expected to meet expert standards with little direction.

The position is 100% onsite at LANL in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Long-term travel arrangements and per diem are available, subject to LANL travel guidelines. Candidates must be U.S. citizens and able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance; an existing Top Secret or DOE Q clearance is highly sought after. Nuclear, SSP, and NNSA experience are highly regarded.

The stated compensation range is $115,000–$130,000 per year, depending on qualifications. GET offers full-time employees benefits effective on the first day of employment, with spouse/family coverage available at a company-subsidized rate.

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.
• Must be a U.S. citizen.
• Must be able to obtain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance.
• 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 model-based definition.
• Experience conducting tolerance and stack analyses and applying current design standards.
• Mechanical design experience ensuring product definition meets requirements and supports producibility.
• Experience with Creo 3D CAD software, PDMLink PLM, GD&T, and tolerance stack-up analysis software.
• Familiarity with ASME Y14 standards, particularly Y14.5-2009 and Y14.41 MBD.
• Experience with weapon-system configuration-management workflows for product-definition materials.
• Ability to work on multiple tasks for varied customers.
• Demonstrated effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to develop constructive, cooperative working relationships and support multidisciplinary teams.
