The Mechanical Engineering department in the Shipboard Effectors Department is currently searching for an experienced Senior Mechanical Engineer to work on a multi-discipline team to support Shipboard Effectors products and subsystems located in Huntsville, AL.  

This is an on-site role.

Tasking may range throughout the product life cycle, depending on current local demands.  This may include concept development and proposal support, detailed mechanical design, transition-to-production, or sustainment work.   This position requires versatility to navigate various program phases, and strong communication skills to collaborate across Operations, Supply Chain, Quality, and other Engineering disciplines to resolve issues. 

Responsibilities may include ownership of complex hardware or small subsystem, working closely with Integrated Product Team Leads/Program Managers to ensure that engineering requirements are defined, risks are managed, and schedules/budgets are met.

The candidate will ensure Technical Data Packages are maintained and updated as necessary. Decisions must be data driven in nature and require preparing technical justification analysis reports as well as presenting to a variety of Engineering Review Boards.  Expect to have basic skillset to grow into leading small project/team as opportunities arise.

What You Will Do 

• Contribute to one or more of our contract-funded and independent research efforts, each of which is at a different phase of development (proposal, design, and integration/test). Engineers are generally assigned to one effort at a time but may make multiple efforts over the course of several years.

• Communicate with cross-disciplined, diverse engineering team members and suppliers to analyze, model, and document the design technical data package (TDP) and its capabilities and compliance with requirements.

• Work under limited supervision and act as the responsible engineer over designated hardware, with the ability to self-manage needs for the hardware to ensure technical rigor is maintained, while balancing schedule and budget needs.

• Perform mechanical design, development, and documentation of components and sub-assemblies, and major end items for defense system equipment in accordance with system requirements.

• Collaborating across multiple disciplines with Structural and Thermal analyst, Materials Engineering, Quality, Safety, Supply Chain.

• Lead a small project with limited supervision and meet commitments for assigned schedule, financial, and technical goals.

• Support suppliers with product integration

• Understanding of Thermal, Structural, Dynamic, and Reliability analysis to provide input and support. Incorporate results and findings into mechanical design.

• Perform and review tolerance analysis to ensure form, fit, and function are as intended by design for the use-application.

• Improve new and existing designs using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and Design for Producibility principles.

• Apply knowledge and experience in technical problem solving and hardware development in a fast paced, team environment.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience

• Experience in CREO (or equivalent CAD tool)

• Experience in Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) per ANSI Y14.5

• Experience with mechanical components or subsystems
