About The Position

The Hardware Design Integrity department at RTX ensures the integrity, compliance, security, and process efficiency of technical data, designs, and systems. The Design Integrity team is seeking a Principal Specialist Design Integrity Checker to work onsite in Huntsville, Alabama. Candidates may have a mechanical or electrical engineering background but must meet the required qualifications for at least one discipline. For mechanical design checking, the role verifies and validates traditional mechanical 2D drawings and model-based Design Technical Data Packages (TDPs), including documentation and models for machined parts, castings, and other fabricated items. Reviews assess producibility, data integrity, quality, consistency, form, fit, and function against program requirements and company and industry standards. The checker also authenticates synchronization between design representations and their source database models, following ASME Y14.41 and MIL-STD-31000. For electrical design checking, the role formally and systematically verifies and validates traditional electrical 2D TDPs, including circuit card or flexible circuit assemblies, printed wiring boards, schematic representations, electronic Bills of Material, and CAD-based design models. The work includes using electrical design applications and may include supporting reviews of software documents against program requirements. The role also verifies model-based TDPs and authenticates synchronization between design representations and their source database models in accordance with ASME Y14.41 and MIL-STD-31000. With training, the selected candidate may also verify and validate TDPs in the other discipline. The position is onsite and may be eligible for relocation. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and hold an active DoD Secret clearance after the first day of employment.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field and 5 years of relevant experience, or an advanced degree in a related field and at least 3 years of experience, or 9 years of relevant experience in the absence of a degree.
At least 5 years of experience designing, drafting, and/or verifying or validating detailed Technical Data Packages (TDPs).
Experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD) design or drafting.
Mechanical checker qualification: experience with at least one of PTC Creo Suite, Creo/ProE, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Raster, Canvas, GTXImage, or Myriad; alternatively, electrical checker qualification requires experience with electrical software packages such as Mentor Boardstation, EXPEDITION-DxDESIGNER, or related software.
U.S. citizenship and an active, existing DoD Secret clearance required after day one; ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance.

Nice To Haves

Industry Model-Based Engineering (MBE) experience, including 3D PDF design representation, and familiarity with ASME, military, and industry standards.
Configuration and Data Management (CM/DM) knowledge and aptitude for developing advanced TDP record-set management techniques in PDM.
Ability to collaborate with engineering disciplines and leadership levels and negotiate solutions that meet program needs and design or drafting requirements.
Electrical CAD design or drafting experience, including MentorGraphics applications such as DxDesigner and Valor, DownStream Technologies BluePrint-PCB, other electrical change-comparison software, electrical MBE concepts, and electronic Bills of Material.
Problem-solving and process-development or improvement skills, with ability to adapt to evolving technologies, processes, procedures, and best practices.
Mechanical CAD design or drafting experience, including Creo/ProE and other mechanical drafting applications.

Responsibilities

Verify and validate traditional mechanical 2D drawings and model-based mechanical Design TDPs, or traditional electrical 2D TDPs and related design data.
Review design documentation, models, drawings, and electronic data files for producibility, data integrity, quality, and consistency.
Check designs for form, fit, and function against program-specific requirements and applicable company and industry standards.
Authenticate synchronization between design representations and the design database models from which they were derived.
For electrical design checks, review circuit card or flexible circuit assemblies, printed wiring boards, schematic representations, electronic Bills of Material, and CAD-generated design models.
Support reviews of software documents against program requirements.
Ensure design verification and validation complies with ASME Y14.41 and MIL-STD-31000.
With training, potentially perform verification and validation work for the opposing mechanical or electrical discipline.
