Summary

In this role, you will collaborate with other engineers to design mechanical components for prototyping or parts for experimental rigs. To accomplish the given tasks, you must be familiar with mechanical design using CAD (preferably SolidWorks) and applying engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of the designed components. You should have an excellent understanding of the engineering design process, leading proof-of-concept ideas towards validated solutions. Communication and documentation are critical as you will often need to prepare slides (or other documents) to present to the team, whether it is to describe detailed designs or to discuss project progress.

Responsibilities:

• Reports to Engineering Manager or senior Mechanical Engineers
• Prepare drawings to manufacture prototypes or components of an experimental setup
• Participate in brainstorming sessions to develop new ideas
• Validate new designs and technologies through benchtop or larger-scale testing
• Design and assembly of in-house equipment to test products and product concepts
• Perform 1D calculations and/or conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations
• Prepare presentations and slides to communicate ideas and/or progress on projects
• Design using 3D CAD and develop design from proof-of-concept to final manufacturable component
• Organize and/or attending meetings with team to discuss project tasks and schedule

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship / Ability to pass background investigation & drug screening
• Ability to work well in a team environment and coordinate between various teams and disciplines
• Proficient with 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred)
• Excellent communication and documentation skills
• Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA off a 4.0 scale without rounding
• Skilled with Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel and PowerPoint
• Must be independent and self-motivated, demonstrating strong analytical skills and creative thinking
• Strong understanding of engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks
• Attending a full-time matriculated and national accredited BS, BE, or MS program in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or related field

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and performing simulations in ANSYS Mechanical
• Experience with experimental setups and equipment in a hands-on environment
• Strong understanding of compressible flow
• Knowledge of Additive Manufacturing (AM), specifically DMLS, and DFAM techniques
• Knowledge of GD&T and application to engineering drawings

Benefits

Pay rates for this position begin at $20/hour and increase for each undergraduate year completed. Relocation support and housing assistance is available for those who relocate to a new city.
