## Job description

Department Focus The Original Equipment (OE) group supports business needs and continuous improvement efforts through proper technical product and engineering design support as well as appropriate development of employees and management.  The OE group is a business unit that encompasses quoting, engineering, quality, project management, production planning and procurement.

Job Description and Duties: Due to Federal Contract requirements, US Citizenship is required for this position.

Principle Duties:

Provides a high level of non-supervisory engineering work on broad project assignments though all phases of new unit design, development, manufacture, test, and commissioning.  Takes ownership of and drives assignments, with limited guidance or intervention required to progress work. Works with Lead Engineers and Project managers to understand and prioritize assigned work. Provides technical expertise and work direction to colleagues who are working together on assigned project tasks.

Principal duties performed in collaboration with the Lead Unit Design Engineer or Engineering Manager consist of, but are not limited to:

- Translate contract design specifications and code requirements into the requisite product design of components, subassemblies, and assemblies. Assist Lead Unit Design Engineer in providing technical oversight to ensure Code and contract requirements are met.
- Engaged as primary engineering analyst utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software to support the needs of the OE group. The analyses may include but are not limited to stress/structural analyses, frequency analyses, seismic analysis, and thermal analyses.
- Produce reports to summarize and present results of calculations and FEA simulations. Provide recommendations to optimize or improve designs based on results of simulations.
- Support all aspects of unit design as assigned by the Lead Unit Design Engineer or Engineering Manager, including, but not limited to, initial planning, concepting, mechanical design, material selection, calculations, and test plan creation. Collaborate with the Lead Unit Design Engineer and Engineering Manager to recommend appropriate design strategy for conceptual and product development. Identify pros, cons, and risks of design choices, both during and downstream from the design phase.
- Author, check, and approve most types of contract documents and drawings at the senior level as needed to support OE contracts. These may include design calculations, analysis, drawings, test reports, design code required items, quality program documents, bills of material, and more.
- Execute against established schedules, producing progress reports as required. Identify tasks and priorities and assist the Lead Unit Design Engineer with setting hours estimates and adhering to targets/deadlines.
- Interface with customers and vendors as required in the performance of design activities.
