Mechanical Engineer

MAG Aerospace•Atlanta, GA

4d•$140,000•Onsite

About The Position

The Mechanical Engineer is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) who specifies, designs, and seals mechanical drawings for government facilities, including secure and sensitive facilities, and designs mechanical, thermal, and integration systems for mobile platforms, in support of MAG Aerospace's U.S. Government defense programs. The role carries the design from requirements and specification through sealed, construction-ready drawings and construction support. Reporting to program leadership, it applies across a portfolio of programs rather than any single effort. The position designs facility mechanical systems, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, environmental control, and mechanical infrastructure, and platform mechanical systems, including enclosures, equipment mounting, thermal management, and vehicle integration; produces and seals the facility drawings; and supports the design through construction and integration. The role is open at the mid-career and senior levels and requires an active PE license and the ability to seal drawings. Must Be US Citizen

Requirements

Facility mechanical design, including HVAC, environmental control, ventilation, cooling-load calculations, ductwork and piping, and equipment sizing, to ASHRAE standards and the applicable mechanical code.
Demonstrated experience producing and sealing stamped mechanical drawings for construction, and interfacing with the authority having jurisdiction.
Department of Defense project experience and familiarity with Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC).
Secure and sensitive facility mechanical design, including acoustic, pressurization, and penetration-treatment measures.
Experience with fire protection, plumbing, and equipment-cooling systems for mission-critical facilities.
Mechanical design experience for platforms or vehicles, including enclosures, equipment mounting, structural load paths, and thermal management (MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-1472 as applicable).
Proficiency in mechanical CAD and drawing production (SolidWorks, Revit, AutoCAD, or equivalent) and engineering drawing to ASME Y14.5.
An active Professional Engineer (PE) license in mechanical engineering, with the ability to seal drawings.
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
Mid level: a minimum of 5 years of mechanical engineering design experience.
Senior level: 10 or more years, including lead design responsibility for facility and mission-critical mechanical systems.
Must hold, or be able to obtain and maintain, a U.S. Department of Defense Top Secret security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information access (TS/SCI).
U.S. citizenship is required.

Nice To Haves

Prior U.S. military service, or direct experience supporting U.S. military operations.
An active or current Top Secret/SCI (TS/SCI) clearance.
ICD 705 and secure-facility accreditation experience.
PE licensure in multiple states, or an NCEES record for expedited comity licensure.
Experience with thermal analysis, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), or mechanical commissioning.
Master's degree preferred.
Department of Defense, secure-facility, ICD 705, HVAC, and platform or vehicle integration experience is strongly desired.

Responsibilities

Serve as the licensed mechanical engineer of record: specify, design, and seal mechanical drawings for government facilities, including secure and sensitive facilities.
Design facility HVAC and environmental-control systems, including heating, ventilation, air conditioning, cooling, and humidity control, with load calculations, equipment sizing, and ductwork and piping design, to ASHRAE standards, the applicable mechanical code, and Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC).
Design ventilation, filtration, exhaust, pressurization, and equipment-cooling systems for mission-critical and secure facilities.
Design mechanical systems for secure and sensitive facilities, including the acoustic isolation, pressurization, and mechanical penetration treatments such facilities require, in coordination with security engineering.
Design fire protection and suppression and plumbing systems for facilities, to applicable NFPA and plumbing codes.
Design platform mechanical and integration systems: modular enclosures and mission bays, equipment mounting and structural load paths, thermal management, and integration into ground vehicles, all within size, weight, and power constraints, in support of the platform team.
Produce, review, and configuration-control the mechanical drawing set, and support the design through construction, installation, inspection, and authority-having-jurisdiction review.
