The Precision Control Actuation System (PCAS) department is seeking a mechanical engineer to lead the development, build, and verification of control actuation systems. What You Will Do
* At this grade level, you will be expected to work autonomously, have expert or mastery level knowledge of the Systems Engineering domain, exercise strategic vision to influence functional and organizational strategies of the PCAS organization beyond assigned program work, and coach and review the work of other professionals.

* Support may include but is not limited to detailed systems design, test design and execution, systems engineering, proposals and estimates, or earned value management.
* In this position, the candidate will be responsible for developing technical solutions for a wide range of high performance actuation system and motion control challenges, such as aerodynamic steering, thrust vectoring, attitude and divert maneuvering, pointing, and stabilizing of missile systems & subsystems. Responsibility extends across the entire life cycle of the product, from conceptualizing and design, to prototyping and manufacturing, integration and verification testing, through production support.

You will be expected to apply sound systems engineering principles to define and solve complex system problems while teaming with a cross-discipline team including electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, control systems engineering, software and firmware engineering, manufacturing engineering, supply chain and others.

* The position will lead requirements development for actuation systems, sub-units, modules and software/firmware; define and develop systems tools and processes for actuation systems; champion the development of Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) standards; lead Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) development for actuation systems; develop standardized actuation system architectures with modularity, scalability and adaptability; institutional standardized verification methods and approaches for Design Verification Testing, Qualification Testing and Acceptance Test;

champion re-usable and scalable design and development documents to maximize cross-program efficiency. The candidate working with the multi-disciplinary actuation team will implement these systems engineering practices on program applications and implement continuous improvement methodologies to increase efficiency and eliminate systemic issues.

* Day-to-day activities are highly collaborative, both internally across disciplines as well as externally with suppliers, partners and customers. Hands-on opportunity is plentiful, as great emphasis is put on exposing designers to the hardware through participation in prototype building and verification testing, thus enabling firsthand knowledge of system performance.

* Assigned responsibilities could grow to include a team leadership role of a major hardware subsystem on a specific program or across several programs. In this role, accountability for technical success across disciplines (systems, mechanical, electrical, controls systems, software, integration, etc.), risk management, system integration into the overall final assembly, and adherence to cost and schedule commitments would be required.
What you will Learn
* The PCAS organization provides a strong technical learning environment with a dedicated technology pyramid comprised of engineering fellows. PCAS engineers are provided the opportunity for direct access to these subject matter experts, fostering accelerated technical growth. Qualifications You Must Have
* Typically requires a University Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience

* A minimum of 10 years of engineering experience or 7 years related experience with an advanced degree

* The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

* Experience with electromagnetic or electrohydraulic control actuation systems…
