This position requires that the candidate be a US citizen with or capable of receiving a secret level security clearance.

Responsibilities

• Participating in the detailed design of structural components.
• Being a member of a team responsible for the development and design integration of mechanical components and systems.
• Creation of Technical Data Packages that include 3D drawings, specifications and materials lists for component and assemblies of mechanical and electro-mechanical applications.
• Preparing and directing high quality mechanical and electro-mechanical detail and assembly drawings
• Transitioning product design to production and test.
• Writing technical and proposal documents.
• Creating detailed design reports and presentations to summarize design/analysis results.

Qualifications

• The candidate should be comfortable as a designer of mechanical components and systems subjected to extreme hypersonic flight conditions. The activities include packaging design of electronics systems and interconnects, the development of interface control documents, and understanding of designing for manufacturing and assembly techniques. The candidate should be well versed in CAD design utilizing 3D digital product development tools and understand geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) per ASME Y14.5.
• Demonstrated participation in a mechanical and structure design team activities leading to a qualified aeroshell design capable of reacting high loading and thermal gradient conditions.
• Experience designing high temperature parts, allowing for thermal strain in tightly tolerance pressurized parts and familiar with various material types and joining methods. High temperature conditions would also include high external operating pressures and accelerations.
• Skilled utilization of 3D digital manufacturing information to influence design definition options (preferably Siemens solutions) allowing manufacturable detailed assemblies and material schedules subject to configuration management. 
• Ability to generate product performance specifications, mass property summary reports, and detailed design summary technical reports. Demonstrated Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) skills a plus.
