Sr. Mechanical Engineer

Teledyne Technologies•Orem, UT

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. The Sr. Mechanical Engineer role is for someone with experience in small, efficient, and low mass design. You work efficiently and thrive on difficult challenges, often doing the impossible by finding novel solutions. You want to be in an environment where continuous learning is not only encouraged – but also expected. You want to be a top-level contributor who will take ownership of their role and projects. You are passionate about quality – but more importantly the customer experience and ensuring this is the best it can be. This position will be responsible for design, test, and release of highly reliable, light weight structural designs and mechanisms for drone vehicles, payloads, and ground station components.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering required.
6+ years of professional experience in mechanical design of weight and size sensitive assemblies and components.
Strong part and assembly design experience showing optimization for stiffness and low mass.
Demonstrated strong record of technical innovation, research, and development of complex mechanical systems.
Strong analytical skills with demonstrated experience in technologies that can be successfully applied to drone developments.
Experience with PDM tools and understanding of configuration control practices.
Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, legal permanent resident, asylee, refugee or must be eligible to apply for and obtain the appropriate export control license from the U.S. Departments of State or Commerce.

Responsibilities

Utilize your experience with lightweight structural design and materials to design key components and structures for our current generation unmanned systems. Optimize for aerodynamic profiles and efficiencies.
Utilize Finite Element Analysis (FEA), experiments, and rapid prototyping to design products for durability, performance, and manufacturing quality.
Develop and conduct tests to validate design across full operational capability envelope and environment.
Deliver market leading designs with Design for Manufacturing (DFM)/Design for Assembly (DFA) methods and techniques.
Demonstrate strong communication skills; active collaboration with team leads, management, and other team members is expected. The Sr. Mechanical Engineer takes broad, high-level requirements and feedback to generate specific design tasks and outcomes; owns and drives meetings as applicable.
Take strong ownership of assigned systems, programs, customers, etc. Actively curate subsystem requirements, performance, and timeline.
Require very little direction from management in moving projects forward against agreed upon timelines.
Coordinate with suppliers during development and production.
