Position Summary

The Sr. Mechanical Engineer analyzes, researches, designs, and tests component parts, processes, or systems to develop new and/or improve core products related to Electromechanical Actuation (EMA). Designs EMA products or systems of diverse/difficult scope and complexity using engineering principles . Develop and recommend solutions to a variety of complex engineering requirements to ensure that design objectives are met, including required program scope, cost and schedule constraints. Projects at this level are assigned to develop in-depth knowledge and skills and to build knowledge of the organization, processes and customers. This role does not have direct reports.

Essential Functions

• Develops complex conceptual and detailed design specifications by analyzing product performance and customer requirements. Investigates design factors such as function, materials, performance, interchangeability, non-recurring and recurring cost, operational efficiency, and contractual requirements. Performs diverse and complex product development, modification, and evaluation of Electromechanical components, subsystems, and systems by applying engineering principles and developing new or unique analysis tools as required.

• Applies scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure the outcome and consequence of design alternatives. Interprets and validates test results for accuracy and precision. Oversee and monitor product acceptance procedures and parameters to achieve customer and product reliability and safety standards (e.g. failure analysis). Utilizes and interprets models to simulate and verify design concepts.

• Completes technical project elements (e.g. preparation of product or system layout; defining system architecture; creating software development plans, etc.) as assigned. Develops critical data analysis necessary to present technical and/or system proposals to customers.

• Contributes to the completion milestones associated with specific projects (e.g. create functional diagrams and system layouts; review detailed drawings and schematics; define data structure, interfaces and programming lotic; analyze material requirements; research customer data item requirements). Maintain efforts within defined cost and schedule constraints, including statusing and root cause/corrective action of associated variances. May act as Control Account Manager for projects applying Earned Value Management.

• Reviews product specification and/or modifications to ensure clarity, completeness, form, fit, function, and conformity to standards and procedures. Troubleshoots design errors, omissions, and other deficiencies, and recommends revisions, engineering change orders, and improvements to engineering management or the project team.
