Mechanical Engineer

Position Description

This role is responsible for providing engineering production support for transition of new design to production and resolution of issues encountered in the build process for production designs. Generates new designs and solutions to meet technical, cost and schedule constraints. Design efficient interface components for integration of new products. Investigate root-cause analysis of design issues arising during production and develops the associated change documentation to resolve design issues. Work closely with a team of engineers and other specialty engineers to resolve issues that span the structures, ballistics, mechanical and logistics disciplines. Prepare presentations and variance documentation in response to production non-compliance issues to support vehicle sales. Perform trade studies or tolerance stack analyses during investigation support. Analyze and interpret design specifications, drawings, documentation, models, and test results to ensure technical designs comply with applicable engineering standards, military specifications, and product requirements. Create and edit CAD models in PTC Creo and ensure systems are designed for producibility. Design and analyze welded and bolted joints. Use finite element analysis tools and apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). Provide input to project leaders for development of project plans, shcedules, and budges and ensure tasks meet cost, quality, schedule, and performance requirements. Prepare and deliver technical reports, papers, and presentations. Troubleshoot and diagnose testing issues with components, document test issues, and maintain an organized data log. Work with suppliers to facilitate cost and quality improvements. Acquire and maintain up-to-date knowledge of relevant engineering disciplines, industry practices, trends and applications. May require daily perieods of on-floor support, walking between many locations throughout the day, and climbing in / on vehicles to assess issues.

Skills Required

Must be organized and have excellent communication skills, demonstrated ability to perform technical presentations. Must be a self-starter that takes ownership of tasks and drives them to completion.
