💰 $76,500 - $103,500 per year
About the role
- Mature existing conceptual mechanical equipment designs of simple to medium complexity into functional products using NX and Teamcenter
- Provide input and recommendations for new 3-D engineering layouts
- Develop 3-D models, designs/drawings and 2-D drawing changes for a wide variety of mechanical ground support equipment
- Make engineering design recommendations based on analysis, loads, material properties, configurations, safety factors, etc.
- Select and incorporate common mechanical components (fasteners, springs, spring pins, dowel pins, casters, turnbuckles, bushings, screw jacks, etc.) into designs
- Participate in informal peer design reviews
- Develop and apply knowledge of materials, material compatibility and corrosion prevention to improve product designs
- Understand and apply model-based dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to new detail parts and assemblies in support of engineering package release
- Evaluate supplier hardware non-conformances and material substitutions
- Work under general supervision with advisement from more experienced engineers
- Work with strength engineers to incorporate sizing updates (stiffness, deflection, stress, etc.) into CAD models
- Support fabrication, assembly and test of new products; occasional domestic travel may be required
- Mature design concepts into deliverable products and develop mechanical products from scratch
- Collocated office environment working with other mechanical design engineers supporting Boeing Phantom Works and Air Dominance Military Programs
