Title Design Engineer 3 (Additive Manufacturing)

Responsibilities

• Aid in developing internal standards for additively manufactured parts, primarily using Laser Powder Bed Fusion, that meet aerospace quality requirements.
• Develop and execute plans to characterize AM material physical and mechanical properties, evaluate the quality of AM material, and test the quality of AM produced parts.
• Collaborate with the design team, other Triumph Group sites, external partners, and suppliers to adapt and optimize design models for the AM build process.
• Lead the development, improvement, and implementation of additive manufacturing processes into Triumph’s design and development efforts.
• Create mechanical drawings for additively manufactured components within each application.
• Perform engineering calculations to support design work, with knowledge of stress/strain, dynamics, kinematics, power transmission, etc.
• Timely preparation of initial drafts of associated engineering documentation including but not limited to Analysis Reports, Failure Investigation Reports, project deliverable documents, and Engineering Changes.
• Work with manufacturing and operations to ensure a smooth transition from design to fully manufacturable, high-quality parts.
• Exercise creativity, foresight, and judgment in conceiving, planning, developing, and delivering on designs of new products.
• Occasional travel is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or material science.
