Mechanical Design Engineer

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Preferred Master’s or PhD degree in Engineering or Physics
• 5 +years Electromechanical enclosures for Harsh Environments
• Design for cost, design for manufacturing, design for test within the Bus Electronics Design developing the CCA (circuit card assembly) layout and packaging mechanical design, thermal and structural analyses
• CAD | PTC Creo Parametric
• Thermal and structural analysis tools (e.g. FEMAP, PATRAN, Thermal Desktop)
• Familiarity with applicable aerospace, drafting, and PWB design standards (e.g. Military standards, ASME Y14.5, IPC standards)
• Ability to perform trade studies to optimize technical performance, mass, power, thermal, cost, schedule, and risks to meet product and programmatic needs

Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, and qualify complex, highly reliable spacecraft power and avionics electrical units
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams (electrical, CAD, reliability) on developing the CCA (circuit card assembly) layout and packaging
• Upload and manage parts lists, drawings, and models to product lifecycle management tool (Teamcenter)
• Perform thermal, mechanical, fatigue, and structural analyses
• Ensure standards for key product development processes are defined and followed for engineering, design, analysis and testing. Ensure these standard processes are uniformly adhered to and followed
• Skilled at DFx (design for cost, design for manufacturing, design for test). Ensure designs include a balanced approach to optimize performance, assembly, integration, and test
• Prepare and present external design reviews with management and customers
• Support environmental tests (thermal, vibration, and pyroshock) for both unit qualification and production
