Tooling Design Engineer

Who YOU are and what YOU can become

Tooling Design Engineers are the bridge between the design team and the production floor. In this role you will work with project focused manufacturing engineers, quality, operations, and suppliers to develop, define, and fabricate the tooling required to build, assemble, transport, and inspect the structures being manufactured at ST Engineering MRAS.

Who WE are and where WE are going

At ST Engineering MRAS, our employees have amazing opportunities to work on advanced technologies and systems that support thousands of customers and millions of people worldwide every day. From the first flight across the Pacific Ocean to developing highly complex structures for the most popular aircraft in the world, we have come a long way always with a can-do approach to problem solving while delighting customers with our high say-do ratio.

We are looking for people with innovative ideas and the drive to help us grow into the future.

A pioneer in the production and assembly of complex aerostructures including aircraft and rocket components, engine nacelle systems, thrust reversers and advanced composite products, we apply the latest digital technologies and automation in composite design and manufacturing that are second to none. At ST Engineering MRAS, we are also rapidly augmenting our maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities leveraging the company's expanded aircraft nacelle portfolio as well as it's materials and processing expertise.

What YOU will do

* Work with other process engineers, quality, and operations to define design requirements, production methodology, and tooling concepts.

* Design a wide variety of tooling to support composite bonding, trimming, assembly, inspection, and transport.

* Create and maintain detailed models (3D) and drawings (2D) that fully document the tool design using Catia V5.

* Support in-house and external vendors during tooling manufacturing, design reviews, and final buy off.

* Ensure tooling complies with engineering specifications, industry standards, and best practices.

* Support new product design reviews to ensure DFM and DFA and provide technical insight.

Skills:

* Design - develops products from concept to reality, preferrable in tool and/or manufacturing equipment design.

* Strong CATIA V5 background - ability to work with complex surface geometries, large assemblies, to design in context, and create clear and effective drawings that fully describe the geometry, materials, and other requirements.

* Detail oriented - Submits a well thought-out, clearly documented, and robustly modeled product.

* Perform engineering calculations, tolerance stack-ups, define GD&T, material selection

* Preferred experience working with composite material processes (lay-up, bagging, trimming).

* Critical Thinking:

* Troubleshoot engineering issues that are affecting part quality, cost and/or function.

* Balance requirements, cost, and schedule to meet goals.

* Perform tradeoff studies to select an optimum approach.

* Communication:

* Effectively liaison with other functional groups with potentially conflicting priorities

* Create clear engineering documentation in support of manufacturing activities

* Hands-on/mechanical aptitude - willingness to step away from the desk and work with operators to fully understand situations or support engineering development work.

What YOU must bring to Succeed

* Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or a relevant engineering discipline or relevant work experience, training, and skills in lieu of degree.

* 5+ years of engineering experience in manufacturing and/or product design.

* Experience working with composite material processes (lay-up, bagging, trimming) is preferred.

* This position involves access to export-controlled technology which requires U.S. Person status or government authorization. A 'U.S. Person,' as defined by 22 C.F.R. §120.62, includes U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, individuals lawfully admitted for permanent residence (green card holders), and individuals granted asylum or refugee status in the United States.
