Mechanical Engineer II/III, Req. 2149
The Mechanical Engineer II or III - will work with assigned engineering teams to support the design and analysis of aircraft and related airframe modifications to ensure the integrity of the modified systems meet airworthiness requirements in both operational and crash load scenarios.
Essential Functions:
* Support the development of new design concepts utilizing information from customer requirements, existing airframe drawings, and on-site aircraft surveys as a team member or as mechanical lead.
* Use of mock-ups and / or 3D printed parts on bench top or on aircraft to verify fit or other functional requirements prior to committing to a final design.
* Convert design concepts and requirements into detailed designs for assemblies, sub-assemblies, and the supporting piece parts using 3D CAD software.
* Familiar with interpretation and utilization of GD&T (AMSE 14.5).
* Work intimately with the structural analysis group as well as manufacturing to ensure designs meet performance requirements as well as can be efficiently manufactured.
* Support aircraft modification development programs from initial aircraft site surveys, through design / analysis, manufacturing and aircraft integration support, to project completion
* Prepares, reviews, and evaluates documentation, specifications, test plans and procedures.
* Experienced with the development of briefing material for design review milestones (SRR, PDR, CDR) and supporting presentations to the customer.
* Possesses knowledge of industry practices, standards, and technology in the aviation / aerospace arena.
* Assists in definition, trade-off, and design activity. Reviews, evaluates, and analyzes design interfaces.
