About The Position

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research. We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins. This role researches, plans, designs, and analyzes mechanical and electromechanical products and systems, and directs and coordinates activities involved in fabrication, operation, application, installation, and repair of mechanical or electromechanical products and systems used in industrial applications. The position will at times be required to lead small engineering teams (3-5 engineers), providing technical leadership, oversight, and direction, and will be the primary interface to the Program Manager and/or lead project engineer. The role applies knowledge of engineering principles to design products such as automated industrial systems and equipment, engines, instruments, controls, robots, machines, mechanisms, pressure vessels, process piping systems, and gloveboxes. Proficiency with 3D modeling software like SolidWorks, preparing hand calculations, and performing thermal, stress, and structural analyses using FEA tools like ANSYS or equivalent is required. Performing kinematic and kinetic analyses using multibody dynamics simulation software such as Adams Hexagon is a strong plus. The role is required to prepare or oversee the preparation of designs for manufacture (DFM). Works on complex issues where analysis of situations or data requires an in-depth evaluation of variable factors, relying on extensive experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals.
