Do you want to be part of an engineering team working on a variety of interesting aerospace mechanical hardware engineering projects? Do you want to get hands on experience with sophisticated electronic test equipment and further your career? If so, this may be the opportunity that you have been looking for.

Avionics Test Engineering offers an array of innovative test equipment solutions for Collins Aerospace products and programs. We serve internal customers, including our manufacturing and service centers, as well as external customers - domestic and international.

The primary responsibility for this position is to work with our mechanical engineering team in developing new solutions and helping to support ongoing process improvement initiatives for the Wilsonville, OR site. They will perform assignments requiring the use and application of moderate to complex mechanical engineering principles and techniques. They must be capable of performing mechanical design and analysis to meet system requirements with familiarity in electronics integration.

The engineer who fills this position must have strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills with the ability to reverse engineer components from their physical configuration. This position will heavily utilize development and debug skills for the development of mechanical interfaces and components used on multi-rack and optical automated test equipment.

What You Will Do:

• Develop designs, create and modify documentation, support production with mechanical analysis and troubleshooting

• Contribute to the success of a cross-functional team to develop solutions to production and field-testing problems. This could include initial design, prototyping, and environment testing solutions.

• Develop and review product designs and analyze development and design requirements

• Design of test fixtures, cables, interconnects with associated documentation

• Analyze and specify tolerance in assemblies of precision components

• Prepare and present project / technical information to peers, internal management and customers

• Plan and manage tasks effectively

• Facilitate documentation and drawings of mechanical designs from inception through release

• Specific tasks include enclosure structural design, optical hardware analysis, thermal, vibration, other environmental considerations, design verification, prototype build and production transition to the factory.

• A successful candidate will be responsible for the design and development of more complex modules and complete products.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Demonstrated experience interacting with various engineering teams comprised of other mechanical engineers, mechanical drafters, electrical engineers, software engineers and system engineers.

• Excellent working knowledge with Solidworks, NX Designer, AutoCAD, or similar design tools, and 3D printing

• Demonstrated practical experience with mechanical engineering design and analysis

• Ability to translate requirements into physical design constraints

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) unless prohibited by local laws/regulations and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience, an Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years of experience, or in absence of a degree, 9 years of relevant experience
