Mechanical Engineer North Charleston, SC Posted

The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) Mechanical Engineer will apply knowledge of engineering methodologies and practices to solve a variety of component-level through system-of-systems-level technical problems. The Mechanical Engineer will lead research, design, development, test, deployment, and sustainment activities for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber-Defense, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Electronic Warfare (C6

ISR/EW) systems and capabilities for the Department of the Navy in support of the United States Marine Corps. The Mechanical Engineer will actively work with internal team members and customer/stakeholder entities to complete project goals.

• Translate functional requirements into technical specifications and solutions for mechanical systems and components.

• Develop architectures and system components consistent with technical specifications and best engineering practices.

• Develop inputs/products to support Systems Engineering Technical Reviews (SETR).

• Support the kick-off, execution, closeout, comment adjudication, and all facets associated with SETR events.

• Conduct, analyze, and recommend resolutions to problems and issues, and prepare and present reports to stakeholders.

• Build and maintain system-level 3D models of ACV components and systems using CAD software.

• Create and maintain 2D technical drawings from 3D models, adhering to relevant standards (e.g., ASME Y14.100).

• Analyze user needs and requirements to plan and conduct system development and improvement.

• Develop and collaborate on system designs to meet operational needs and environmental factors, considering vehicle integration best practices.

• Prepare, conduct, and manage System Engineering Technical Reviews (SETR) for the Program Management Office (PMO).

• Create and maintain Bills of Materials (BOMs) and kits for efficient manufacturing and integration of mechanical systems.

• Structure and develop Technical Data Packages (TDPs) and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) to implement design improvements.

• Oversee integration, repair, maintenance, and assist in the development or replacement of mechanical systems/equipment onboard the ACV.

• Effectively communicate orally and in writing with peers, subordinates, senior leadership (internally/externally) and customers/stakeholders.

• Interim Secret clearance required prior to starting, an active DoD Secret clearance is preferred.

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering or mechanical engineering technology or a related field and 8+ years of experience.

• Proficiency in creating 3D models and 2D drawings of singular components to complex multi-part assemblies, including sheet metal design and complex welded assemblies.

• Extensive knowledge of Solid Works, Creo, and AutoCAD.

• Familiarity with the creation of Technical Data Packages and associated standards such as MIL-STD-31000 and ASME Y14.100.

• Knowledge of configuration management practices, including developing engineering change notices, modifying, and/or updating engineering Bills of Materials, and creating problem reports.

• Ability to effectively communicate orally and in writing with peers, subordinates, senior leadership (internally/externally) and customers/stakeholders.

• Ability to plan, organize, and execute complex program-level/system-of-systems-level efforts.

• Ability to analyze and decompose requirements to ensure all aspects of a system/sub-system design meet the requirements.

• Ability to understand and adhere to rigorous configuration/ and change management processes and policies.

• Capability to read and understand technical documentation, cable assembly drawings, and schematics for complex or multi-system architecture.

• Knowledge of the composition…
