Mechanical Design Engineer
Jacobs, Huntsville, AL, United States
Job Description - Mechanical Design Engineer (ADV000CNS)
Position Description Our Structural & Mechanical Design and Analysis team is a high performing group executing challenging tasks for the insight, design, and analysis of the Space Launch System (SLS) ranging from large structural elements to payload attachment hardware. Our team provides support for various other space related missions including the Human Landing Systems (HLS) and more, supporting the mission of sending humans to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Primary Responsibilities Provide structural and mechanical design support for flight hardware including adapters and secondary structures, secondary payload support, thermal protection system, electrical interfaces, and isolation hardware between vehicle compartments.
Model large assemblies and subassemblies in support of the Space Launch System program as well as other spaceflight programs.
Manage large CAD files using Product Data Management (PDM) systems.
Support development, review, and implementation of changes in SLS program documentation by gathering pertinent information and presenting to governing bodies.
Participate in reviews, meetings, technical interchange meetings, boards, working groups, and trade studies related to hardware design and development.
Qualifications A degree in Engineering or related field is required (ABET-accredited university preferred). Typically, the educational requirements are the equivalent of a minimum of a Master’s degree with at least 3 years of experience, or a Bachelor’s degree with at least 5 years of experience.
Familiarity with launch vehicle systems
Experience with structural design methods, test methodology, material behavior, and fabrication methods
Experience interpreting engineering drawings and design tolerances
Ability to use PTC Creo 9.0 or newer to create detailed drawings per ASME Y14.100-2000 and/or Global Drawing Reference Manual
Ability to apply best CAD practices for robust development of PTC Creo 9.0 or newer drawings, assemblies, and models
Ability to use product design definition created with digital product definition/model-based design practices as described in ASME Y14.41
Familiarity with engineering drawing and model review and release processes
Fluency with Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing per ASME Y14.5 for drawing development including tolerance stack-up analysis
Experience with PTC Windchill PLM/PDM software to manage and control models and drawings is preferred
Capable of functioning in a multi-disciplinary team of engineers with expertise in aerosciences, manufacturing and producibility, structural test equipment, and test hardware
Capable of working with external teams including main propulsion systems, reaction control systems, quality control, ground support systems, safety, and system engineering and integration
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, Outlook) is required
Essential Functions General office environment. Requires clear, concise, accurate, and timely communication both verbally and in writing.
