The Mechanical Engineer III applies engineering techniques to design, install, modify, analyze, repair, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanically functioning equipment. This individual will be a part of a design team focused on the development of the next generation UAV systems and their subsystems. This includes all levels and facets of design from conceptual clear through the detailed design and will include building and testing of these systems.
Position Responsibilities Designs structural components, electro-mechanical design, payload mechanical design, ground equipment mechanical design, launching systems, flight control actuators integration, thermal analysis, prototype hardware development, tooling, and fixtures designReads and interprets blueprints, technical drawings, schematics, and computer-generated reports. Assists project managers with the planning and scheduling of engineering workConfers with engineers and other personnel to implement operating procedures, resolve system malfunctions, and provide technical informationDevelop manufacturing drawings and bills of materials for components and assemblies using industry drafting standardsResearches and analyzes customer design proposals, specifications, manuals, and other data to evaluate the feasibility, cost, and maintenance requirements of designs or applicationsSupport design reviews, assist project managers with the planning and scheduling of engineering work, and support manufacturing & suppliers with the production of components & assembliesResolves a wide range of issues in creative ways while applying company policies and procedures. Completes assigned tasks within the project schedule and budgetDemonstrates full understanding of the specialization of the role and can research/re-engineer to propose alternate solutions to fairly complex issuesWorks on problems of diverse scope where the analysis of data requires the evaluation of identifiable factors. Makes decisions that have some impact on project costs and schedule.
