Responsibilities

Serve as the mechanical engineer to support documentation, mechanical, environmental, structural, and thermal aspects of different stack configurations.
Contribute to a small team of mechanical production REAs supporting mechanical production and development efforts, ensuring technical excellence and alignment with program objectives.
Oversee and manage all mechanical, slice and stack TDP configuration changes, ensuring updates address producibility improvements, yield optimization, and design enhancements.
Lead efforts to analyze and incorporate producibility updates into designs to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce production defects.
Support failure investigations, conducting root cause analyses and implementing corrective actions to resolve systemic mechanical issues.
Provide technical guidance on mechanical design, analysis, and integration challenges, ensuring compliance with program requirements and performance specifications.
Drive design for manufacturability (DFM) practices and lead efforts to identify and implement cost-saving opportunities in mechanical assemblies.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including systems engineering, quality, and supply chain, to resolve mechanical engineering challenges and ensure seamless integration of stack configurations.
Provide oversight and review of hardware performance during environmental testing, including structural and thermal analysis, to ensure compliance with design requirements.
Maintain and update mechanical TDPs, processing engineering change requests such as IRs, CNs, SRs, and variances to ensure accurate and current documentation.
Positive attitude toward being mentored by experienced technical team members and subject matter experts within Raytheon.
