This position supports the Design Engineering organization. Able to work independently and to give guidance to others to provide the complete development of complex servo actuator components and systems. This includes initial concept, design, analysis, prototype testing, and supporting component development through product qualification and final production- cradle to grave.
Responsible for the detailed component design of various servo actuator systems from concept through final customer delivery. These components include electric motors, precision gear trains, structures, and actuator thermal management packaging. Commonly required to work with peers and to guide the work of other engineers. Responsibilities also include designing Special Test Equipment, writing test procedures, verifying and validating designs, and preparing design review material for presentations to customers and peers. This includes understanding the performance requirements, designing and releasing Special Test Equipment for design and performance validation.
Works with limited supervision to provide technical oversight for various programs from concept through final customer delivery, typically within a cross-functional integrated product team.
Essential Mechanical Engineering Duties and Responsibilities:
•Strong focus on conceptual mechanical design.
•Lead mechanical engineering tasks related to component design (stress and thermal analysis, material selection, sizing, etc.), manufacturing process definition, and final testing.
•Ability to formulate concepts from basic requirements and efficiently package concepts within scenarios containing multiple constraints.
•Provide guidance or direct the work of other engineers.
•Perform to the program schedules established by project engineers and program managers.
•Perform mathematical calculations, FEA modeling, and complex tolerance analyses.
•Direct investigations or tests of varying degrees of complexity pertaining to the development of new designs, methods, materials, or processes.
•Obtain, correlate, and analyze technical information needed to accomplish assigned tasks.
Other Duties and Responsibilities:
Activities may include interacting with government and commercial customers on technical matters, requiring excellent technical presentation skills. Participate in peer reviews, and problem solving meetings. Prepare and present technical material for design reviews.
Required Experience:
•5-8 years + of relevant experience (Aerospace/Defense/ANSYS/ProE expertise)
•Strong understanding of conceptual design- Windchill/CREO, GD&T principals, motor architecture, gear and gear train design, bolted joint design.
•Analysis- Ansys workbench, FEA fundamentals, stress analysis (linear & non-linear), thermal analysis, materials.
