Senior Mechanical Engineer

SUMMARY

Perform, direct, and coordinate activities involved in design, analysis, fabrication, operation, application, installation, and repair of mechanical or electromechanical products and systems.

Takes a lead engineering role in all engineering aspects of projects – design, analysis, testing, and hardware/system installation.

Review customer statement of work (SOW) documents, specifications, and manuals to ensure all requirements are met or exceeded for projects involving new product design, hardware modification, and engineering analyses.

Design components of mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, or heat transfer systems such as instruments, controls, robots, engines, machines, and structures.

Prepare or direct preparation of product or system layouts, detailed drawings, and schematics.

Perform engineering analyses of components and systems using finite element analysis (FEA), computational fluid dynamics (CFD), classical hand calculations, and other methods.

Analyze air flow of jet engine test facilities using CFD to determine acceptable performance characteristics versus specification requirements.

Provide training to engineering staff covering CFD and FEA theory, methodology, and data analysis.

Support marketing efforts to provide CFD and FEA services to outside customers.

Stay current on engineering software capabilities and techniques, as well as physical testing methods. Provide engineering training to engineering personnel on software and various engineering topics. Identify new engineering materials and implement them in designs.

Direct personnel in fabrication of test control apparatus and equipment, as well as the development of methods and procedures for testing products or systems. Actively participate in product testing.

Direct and coordinate fabrication and installation activities to ensure products and systems conform to required industry and government standards, as well as customer specifications.

Coordinate maintenance and repair activities.

Evaluate field installations and recommend design modifications to eliminate machine or system malfunctions, as well as improve system performance.

Work with Technical Publications Group to revise and create Technical Orders, Manuals, and other documentation.

Assist in developing quotes and technical proposals.

Work to stay within project budgets and schedules.

Extensive experience using 3-D Solid Modeling software (Solid Works), Structural FEA (ANSYS or Solid Works Simulation), CFD software (ANSYS CFX / FLUENT or Solid Works Flow Simulation), MATLAB, and Microsoft Office products.

Extended work hours and/or travel may occasionally be required.

Evaluate engineering, manufacturing, and business processes, making suggestions as appropriate to drive change and improve Atec’s operations.

Develop, mentor, and train Mechanical Engineering staff and actively check junior engineers’ designs, drawings, simulation models, engineering analyses, and reports. Take ownership of these designs and analyses to ensure they meet all requirements, including but not limited to the fit of mating structures, tolerances, manufacturability, product performance, and structural integrity.

Identify training needs of junior engineers and make recommendations to Mechanical Engineering Manager.

Acts as a positive role model for junior engineers.

Perform other related duties, as assigned, for the purpose of ensuring an efficient and effective work environment.

Ensure activities are conducted in accordance with Atec International Standards Organization (AS9100/ISO) policies and correct and report any deviations to appropriate area manager/supervisor.
