Hartzell Propeller
Mechanical Engineer
Hartzell Propeller, Piqua, Ohio, United States,
Hartzell Propeller Inc.Hartzell Propeller Inc. is a world class engineering and manufacturing company offering the broadest range of propeller systems in the aviation industry. We design, develop, test, manufacture, and support constant-speed aluminum and composite propeller systems for all categories of aircraft, ranging from general aviation to military applications.The company traces its history to 1914, where a relationship between Orville Wright and Robert Hartzell led to the manufacture of the first Hartzell propeller in 1917. The company was founded on the principle of "Built on Honor" – a clear and abiding value in our business.
Job SummaryThe Mechanical Engineer is responsible for the design and direct installation of mechanical, hydro-mechanical and or electro-mechanical products for propellers. The primary product line of responsibility will be aviation propellers and/or propeller components and propeller certification. These engineer position responsibilities will include: 3D modeling in SoildWorks, preliminary structural analysis, failure analysis, writing test plans, oversee testing, document and interpret test results and project planning. In addition, the mechanical engineer will interface with sales, manufacturing and the customer to implement new designs from inception to use in the field.
The job may require periodic domestic and / or foreign travel.
Key Deliverables:1) Define the propeller configurations using 3D modeling (SolidWorks) software2) Write engineering test plans and reports3) Perform preliminary structural analysis4) Perform geometric dimension and tolerance assessments5) Master engineering changes in ERP/MRP/PDM systems6) Develop an understanding of the applicable FAA regulations, with a goal of becoming an ODA Unit Member.7) Designing rotating structural parts8) Manage project assignments
First Year Success Factors1. Develop a working understanding of the function of Hartzell's different propeller systems2. Develop a working relationship with manufacturing and the sales group in order to support our products and customers3. Develop a working understanding of metal manufacturing processes (i.e.; machining, forging, casting)4. Manage engineering changes in Hartzell's ERP,MRP, PDM software systems.5. Manage a number of concurrent project assignments using Microsoft Project and Access data bases.6. Become proficient with 3D modeling software – Solidworks7. Write engineering test plans and successfully coordinate testing with the engineering test lab.
Education/ExperienceBS in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent degree. Experience with SolidWorks modeling software desired.
Flying experience or interest in flying is a plus.
Technical Competencies1) Excellent verbal and written communication skills2) Proficient Computer Skills (MS-Office, solid modeling software (SolidWorks preferred)3) Knowledge of rotating structural analysis4) Knowledge of aerospace materials5) Knowledge of assessing propeller/component life using applicable material fatigue capabilities and environmental effects.6) Engineering drawing standards (ANSI 14.5Y)7) Knowledge of project management methods (Microsoft Project)
