The Shipboard Effectors Department is currently searching for an experienced Principal Mechanical Engineer to support Standard Missile products and subsystems.

This Principal Mechanical Engineering position performs in alignment to expectations in the design, development and production support areas associated with mechanical designs, validation principals, qualification processes, procurement, and production processes across a design life cycle. Work may include requirements understanding, concept development, DFMAs, PFMEAs, margin analysis, technical data package (TDP) development, application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing principals, engineering test principals, preparation of technical analysis reports, and design review presentation.

This is an onsite role and located in Tucson, AZ.

What You Will Do:

Contribute to one or more of our contract-funded and independent research efforts, each of which is at a different phase of development (proposal, design, and integration/test). Engineers are generally assigned to one effort at a time but may work multiple efforts over the course of several years.

Communicate with cross-disciplined, engineering team members and suppliers to analyze, model, and document the design technical data package (TDP) and its capabilities and compliance to requirements.

Work under limited supervision and act as the responsible engineer often in a project management role over entire subsystems within an effort. This often requires the ability to direct, delegate and review the work of others

Lead a team(s) with limited supervision and meet commitments for assigned schedule, financial, and technical goals.

Work thru engineering problems associated with large structures, welded assemblies, component integration, mechanisms, electronic assemblies

Support suppliers with product integration

Strong understanding of Thermal, Structural, Dynamic, and Reliability analysis to provide inputs and support. Incorporate results and findings into mechanical design.

Perform and review tolerance analyses to ensure form, fit, and function are as intended by design for the use-application.

Improve new and existing designs using Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) and Design for Producibility principles.

Apply knowledge and experience in technical problem solving and hardware development in a fast paced, team environment.

Qualifications You Must Have:
Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience or An Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 5 years experience.

Experience with CREO (or equivalent CAD tool)

Experience developing and executing a plan to develop a mechanical component or subsystem

Understanding of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T), basic tolerance analyses, and drawing practices and interpretation for…
