Job Description
This Senior Mechanical Design Engineer position is responsible for designing and coordinating engineering aspects associated with the combat vehicle chassis and turret structures. Structure Design products include the vehicle hull structures and all structural interfaces (i.e. machining, mounting provisions, welded on brackets, and stiffeners), doors, hatches, access panels, lifting/towing/tie-down provisions, and intake/exhaust grilles. The structures engineer will work with system integrated product team members (IPT’s) to document and integrate their mechanical interfaces (mounting provisions) onto the vehicle structureÂ
Provides Engineering Production Support (EPS) for transition of new design to production and resolving issues encountered in the build process. This will be the primary starting role.
Investigates root-cause analysis of design issues arising during production and develops the associated change documentation to resolve design issue.Â
Works closely with a team of design engineers and other specialty engineers to resolve design issues that span such areas as structures, ballistics, mechanical, and logistics.Â
Prepares presentations and variance documentation in response to production issues to support vehicle sales.Â
May require daily periods of on-floor support, walking between many locations throughout the day, and climbing in/on the vehicles to assessÂ
Perform Trade Studies or Tolerance Stack Analyses in design or investigation support.Â
Analyze and interpret design specifications, drawings, documents, models, and test results to ensure technical designs comply with applicable engineering standards, military specifications, and product requirementsÂ
Create and edit CAD models in PTC Creo and ensure systems are designed for producibilityÂ
Design and analyze welded and bolted jointsÂ
Conduct root cause and impact analysis when issues arise to determine the optimal solution given cost, schedule and priority constraints while factoring in feedback from all key stakeholdersÂ
Use finite element analysis tools and apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)Â Â Â
Required
Ability to solve moderately complex technical design and development problems that require a professional level of engineering knowledgeÂ
Must be organized and have excellent communication skills, demonstrated ability to perform technical presentations.Â
Must be a self-starter that takes ownership of tasks and drives them to completionÂ
Good engineering analytical skills with experience doing root-cause-corrective-actionÂ
Knowledge of finite element analysis tools and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T)Â
Ability to obtain a security clearance up to Secret Level
Experience creating moderately complex solid models and mechanical designs using CAD systems, preferable PTC Pro-E or CREO or SolidWorks.  Â
B.S. degree in a relevant technical discipline (typically mechanical or aerospace engineering) plus 4 years relevant experience; or a Master’s degree and 2 years relevant experience.
Preferred
Familiarity with relevant military and commercial design standards.Â
Experience with standard approaches to tolerance stack up analysis
Considerable knowledge with PTC’s CREO CAD and CREO View computer tools, Windchill / EPDM.Â
Extensive knowledge/experience with drawings, models, and GD&T standards and application.Â
Experience with tolerance analysis, trade studies, FEA AnalysisÂ
Experience with engineering structures design, prototyping, production and test environments with relevant ground vehicle applications in the defense environment.Â
Experience communicating with internal and external customers.Â
Experience with military standards and good manufacturing practicesÂ
Cost account managing experience  Â
