Hydraulic System Design Engineer; NX, No

This role will focus on Hydraulics and Fuel.

This Auxiliary Systems Mechanical Engineering role will design and release mechanical and fluid components and subsystems for ground vehicles. This includes the application of engineering principles to generate designs to solve complex problems and provide support for the build, test, and production of the designs. The system level areas of focus may include hydraulic actuation and pneumatics, automatic fire suppression, fuel, camera cleaning, LRU cooling distribution, winch and fairlead.

Other possible assignments for general mechanical may include shock/vibration isolation and mounting of devices, stowage equipment integration, seating and crew accommodations, battery enclosures, and driver controls.

• Mechanical & Auxiliary design engineering of fluid and distributed systems including fuel, automatic fire suppression, camera cleaning, LRU cooling, and hydraulic and pneumatics to meet customer requirements and specifications.
• Develops and integrates components into vehicle platforms to meet vehicle performance requirements including human factors, safety, environmental, ballistic and mine blast requirements.
• Conducts design, integration and analysis of mechanical components, mechanisms, and shock attenuation systems for mounting devices.
• Applies the mechanics of materials, material selection, welding, and fabrication principles for mechanical components and complex welded brackets, mounting provisions.
• Supports various projects by performing analysis & design, drawing/model mark-ups, tolerance stacks along with generating source data for engineering changes.
• Responsible for writing material requests and shop work requests, track delivery and stock of parts, participate in integration reviews, fit checks, and author reports.
• Provides support to prototype, production, and sustainment vehicle efforts and follow-up, technical corrective action formulation, troubleshooting and redesign activities.
• Present design concepts and program status to functional and program management in a clear, concise manner and in the context of risk management.
• Direct and oversee CAD model and drawing development.
• Conduct failure analysis, produce required corrective action, and troubleshoot and redesign activities and necessary.
• Will work on customer needs for the vehicle, formulate the subsystem and component requirements and meet contract expectations.
• May occasionally be responsible for technical presentations to other engineering groups, the customer and/or leadership.
• May work with different engineering functions of the organization on various programs.
• Performs other duties as assigned.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering. Electrical Engineering with experience and desire to work Mechanical systems.
• Focus on Fluid or Distributed Systems is a plus.
• 5 to 7 years in a related role is desired.
• Demonstrated understanding of mechanical engineering principles.
• Experience supporting prototype and/or production build activities.
• Demonstrated experience developing fluid system functional architecture, schematics, and analytical models and troubleshooting.
• Experience with root cause and corrective activities.
• Solid modeling experience with NX and/or Creo desired.
• Experience with Teamcenter and Vis Mockup a plus.
