Responsibilities

Develop efficient, cost-effective, and functional mechanical designs using tools such as SolidWorks and SolidWorks Simulation.
Develop complex hydraulic fluid systems designs that would consist of the following: design and integration, schematics, flow paths, pressure/flow analysis, theory of operation, troubleshooting, and design verification, including piping design and pressure/stress calculations in accordance with ASME Standards (B31.3, etc.)
Tubing and piping design, sizing, routing, fittings, bend requirements, supports, and installation.
Selection and integration of valves, manifolds, regulators, filters, pumps, HPUs, instrumentation, quick-disconnects, and fittings.
Design and integration of hydraulic test equipment, test procedures, system interfaces, safety, maintainability, and operator considerations.
Create FEA-based structural, Piping, thermal, and flow analyses to validate mechanical and electromechanical designs.
Generation of engineering reports to support engineering analysis to include finite element analyses for structural, CFD, thermal, vibration, and multi-physics models.
Develop, up to and including, Level III technical data packages for novel mechanical and/or electromechanical designs.
Provide mechanical engineering support in potential re-engineering tasks and support modification work orders and/or engineering change proposals.
Support the complete production process by collaborating closely with project engineers, fabricators, technical writers, and program managers to ensure successful fielding of systems.
