Mechanical Engineer

• Designing and developing vehicle subsystems (primary and secondary structures, flight control surface and actuation systems, landing gear, and/or thermal management systems), from system architecture through integration
• Properly utilizing static and dynamic first principles analysis tools, finite element simulation tools, trade studies, historical data, and best engineering practices to ensure components, mechanisms, and assembly designs meet load, weight, and safety requirements for flight
• Understanding program objectives and requirements to conduct trade studies and define architectures, requirements, and interfaces between subsystems
• Developing subsystem and component requirements compatible with safety, performance, and business objectives
• Managing functional and physical interfaces between the vehicle subsystems and the vehicle
• Performing analysis and test, including supporting the design and build of test fixtures, to verify subsystems and components meet performance and safety requirements
• Selecting and managing suppliers/partners to ensure components are within budget, schedule, and specification
• Preparing and presenting at gated design reviews to demonstrate the adequacy of a design
