Desired:

• FEA Analysis and hand calculations of structural and mechanical components.
• Experience working on aerospace development programs, production lines, or field operations in both design and hands-on roles; experience on commercial development programs a plus.
• Experience with design specification, procurement, operation, and maintenance of GSE.
• Extremely customer focused with strong communication skills.
• A demonstrated ability to work cooperatively with teams of diverse skills across large geographic distances.
• Experience with multiple CAD packages, Catia, SolidWorks, etc.
• Hands on fabrication, assembly, or maintenance experience
• Familiarity with Industry Code Standards.

Responsibilities:

• Responsibilities will include conceptual design, cost estimating, schedule estimating, requirements definition, detailed design, procurement, vendor management, design reviews, analysis, commissioning, and production floor support.
• The work will be performed in a multi-functional team role with manufacturing engineering, facilities engineering, and project management functions.
• Design and manage tooling through development and build life cycle to support production.
• Perform analysis (Hand Calculations & FEA) to support tooling design
• Create Statement of Works ( SOW) for tooling to be designed and built by external vendors.
• Be responsible Engineer for induvial tooling projects.
• Coordinate directly with manufacturing, operations, and product development personnel to understand operational requirements and develop GSE to meet those requirements.
• Design of Concept CAD models using PTC Creo.
• Review and approve drawings for drawing standards and manufacturability.
• Develop and approve design specifications, performance specifications, fabrication specifications, acceptance test procedures, and maintenance plans, for development of GSE.
• Manage external design and fabrication partners through complete project lifecycle (requirements gathering through delivery and acceptance) to ensure GSE is functionally correct and meets requirements set forth in specifications.
• Represent GSE considerations in manufacturing, operational, and program technical reviews
• Oversee equipment fabrication, assembly, and installation.
• Active involvement in functional checkouts and commissioning of equipment.
• Maintain and report on activity schedule, budget and technical status.
• Participate in continuous training and skills development.
