Design Engineer II

Job Description

The employee is part of the Design Engineering Team and shall serve as a stress analysis and mechanical design resource for higher level Design Engineers and Project Engineers. Our client's product line is primarily high pressure, high temperature pneumatic and fluid lines for aerospace applications. Markets served include domestic and foreign commercial, military, and space.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Detailed component design – conceptual sketches (physical or CAD) which are fed to the drafting team. Significant application of concepts such as design to specification, design for manufacturing, design for inspection, and design for cost.
• FEA based stress analysis – heavy emphasis on structural dynamics, fatigue, and nonlinear solutions. Tasks range from simple geometry creation and meshing to final analysis report.
• Works with a diverse cross‑functional team of engineers designing and analyzing metallic parts that are produced using a variety of manufacturing methods.
• All work goes through review process to higher levels; 50% work unsupervised.
• This role will be delivering final designs and results.
• Common methods: forming and welding of sheet metal, machining, additive manufacturing, and casting.
• Regular interaction with internal teams of Project Engineers, Drafters, Manufacturing Engineers, Quality Engineers, Test Lab Personnel, Contracts, and Sales.
• Tasks involve a full range of product life cycle including new product development, legacy product support, research and development, and failure analysis.
• Often necessary to create custom design and task automation tools in Excel (VBA), MATLAB, Python, and the API of applicable calculation software.
• Internal flow calculations and external insulation calculations are common using in‑house tools.
• Travel required is
