Senior/Principal - Product Design Engineer - Design Engineer, Onsite

About the role

We are seeking a highly motivated Product Design Engineer (PDE) with a passion for product design and development of mechanical components. On any given day, you may be called on to:

• Create, modify, and evaluate complex component and system definition by implementing and integrating advanced design solutions.
• Lead teams in the design of three-dimensional models and detailed drawings of complex objects and systems.
• Present designs to clients.
• Independently determine and gather product requirements and apply new concepts and options to product design.
• Utilize three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) software to develop and propose mechanical designs and perform complex analysis and review various designs and applications.
• Analyze product performance and results to improve designs and develop new methods and concepts.

Responsibilities

Due to the nature of work, successful applicants will be required to work onsite.

Applicants on this requisition may be interviewed by multiple organizations at Sandia National Laboratories.

Qualifications

• A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and five (5) years of directly relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of directly relevant education and engineering or scientific experience that demonstrates the knowledge, skills, and ability to perform independent research and development.
• Experience using CAD software for 3D solid modeling and mechanical drawing generation.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DOE Q security clearance.

• Experience using PTC-Creo software for mechanical engineering and design.
• Demonstrates the ability in applying mechanical engineering design principles to formulate design concepts and meet product requirements.
• Independently apply principles of tolerance analysis and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) based on experience, training, or certification such as ASME GDTP technologist level.
• Demonstrates the ability to perform analysis and calculations (stress, thermal, material properties, etc.) to ensure that requirements are met and to optimize designs.
• Experience using a product data management system to manage CAD files.
• Experience with manufacturing methods for mechanical hardware.
• Experience with Design for Manufacturing and Assembly principles.
• Demonstrates successful teamwork, excellent communication skills (oral and written), and consistent demonstration of good behaviors.
• Knowledge and understanding of the Nuclear Weapons engineering systems and the NNSA product realization process.
• Demonstrates the ability to work independently and in a diverse team environment.
• Experience in a lead designer role (individually or as a team leader).
• Proven ability to mentor and develop staff and develop effective working relationships with peers.
• Complete tolerance analysis using CETOL (or equivalent) software for 3D tolerance analysis.
• Experience with model-based definition and design practices.
