MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER

Duties And Responsibilities

• Participate in the development of new pressure and temperature sensors from concept through qualification and production release.
• Review customer and industry requirements to define project input and create compliance matrices for traceability.
• Communicate with customers to clarify requirements or request deviations while considering the voice of the customer.
• Design the mechanical elements of the product including material selection, process selection, strength and fatigue analysis, FEA, and tolerance stack up analysis.
• Work closely with electrical engineers to produce electromechanical interfaces, address thermal considerations, and maximize product performance.
• Generate the design record (engineering drawings, models, schematics, and work instructions).
• Collaborate on technical documentation deliverables including but not limited to: ATP, QTP, QAR, QSAR, QTR, FMECA, DDP, PFD, DFMEA, and PFMEA.
• Guide component level manufacturing and procurement, prototype builds, and tooling fabrication.
• Participate in qualification testing and any other related design validation activities.
• Ensure designs meet performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost objectives for production readiness and design maturity.
• Support RCCA efforts for product related non-conformances.
• Support PPAP and related cross departmental APQP activities.
• Troubleshoot issues on the production floor and implement continuous improvements.

Requirements

• 2+ years of mechanical design engineering experience in aerospace or related field.
• Bachelor’s degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering required.
• MS in engineering or related field preferred.
• Experience designing or developing pressure, temperature, or similar sensing devices preferred.
• Demonstrable knowledge of aerospace design practices and AS9100 procedures.
• Familiarity with applicable industry design and testing standards, notably RTCA DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, and RTCA DO-254.
• Strong understanding of materials, physics, manufacturing and testing methods.
• Proficient with reading engineering drawings/blueprints and interpreting GD&T.
• Functional understanding of analog and digital electronics and ability to read electrical schematics strongly preferred.
• Proficient with FEA, including stress-strain, thermal, and resonant frequency analysis.
• Proficient with SolidWorks, Microsoft Office and basic data analysis tools.
• Strong oral, written and presentation communication skills.
• Ability to work independently or collaboratively in a fast-paced test environment.
