About The Position

This position is responsible for general mechanical engineering, electro-mechanical design, and structural and thermal analysis of power switchboards and circuit breakers for Navy-based electronic systems. Given the system complexity, the associated responsibilities and assignments require the exercise of considerable initiative, planning, and independent judgment. He/she shall demonstrate technical acuity which encompasses interpretation of specifications/requirements and resolution of complex mechanical and electro-mechanical design and analysis problems. Shall be able to lead mechanical engineering design efforts on a project.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with minimum 6 years of prior related experience; or Master of Science degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with minimum 4 years of prior relevant experience. Or in lieu of a degree, minimum of 10 years of prior related experience.
Experience with mechanical layout and packaging of such systems.
6+ years experience using 3-D CAD software tools in design function, SolidWorks, or equivalent solid modeling software experience required.
5+ years of experience in military and/or regulated industry specifications and standards pertaining to design, testing, hardware, material, and processes.
5+ years of experience in Commercial/Navy/Military Specifications for environmental qualification testing.
Experience with electro-mechanical systems design and analysis, including electro-mechanical calculations supporting mechanism design, component sizing, actuation, tolerance analysis, and system integration.

Nice To Haves

Experience working with Power Switchboard or similar low/medium-voltage/high-power type equipment.
Experience with bills of material, drawing release, and engineering change processes.
Experience with PLM systems and configuration-controlled design documentation.
Experience with structural analysis software ANSYS Workbench [preferred] or equivalent.
Demonstrated ability to lead and execute own tasks with minimal guidance.
Experience with additive manufacturing materials and techniques.
Ability to lead others in design team and execute tasks on-time and on-budget.
Excellent technical writing skills demonstrated through authorship of technical documentation such as design reports, test procedures, etc.

Responsibilities

Reviews and interprets specifications and requirements to determine structural, thermal, electro-mechanical, and safety-critical characteristics/considerations for the mechanical designs.
Prepares material and labor cost estimates for proposed designs and proposals.
Works directly with all engineering supporting disciplines from concept through final product design and production.
Responsible for project budget/schedule adherence for assigned tasks.
Will be responsible for all aspects of mechanical design and analysis. These efforts include electro-mechanical calculations, thermal analysis, structural analysis, electronics packaging, and mechanical concepts for new and updated products.
Performs electro-mechanical calculations and analyses to support design development, component selection, actuation/motion performance, tolerance evaluation, and product qualification.
Coordinates and reviews the work of the program design team, provides direction for design and analysis details, and supports the preparation of mechanical drawings.
Supports manufacturing build and qualification testing requirements, including troubleshooting, root cause analysis, and implementing design improvements.
Reviews and approves project documentation, change requests, etc. and ensures appropriate documentation on projects.
Processes and manages new/design changes on assigned projects using PLM system.
Interfaces with customers, vendors, and production to develop product requirements and solutions.
Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Security Clearance.
