Mechanical Engineer

Description:

HII Unmanned Systems is searching for a candidate to complement our talented mechanical engineering team! We are looking for an individual to contribute in providing advanced design solutions for integration into our autonomous systems. System and subsystem designs include but are not limited to military and commercially available oceanography products. As a mechanical engineer you will be responsible for the completion of product life cycle analysis and the development of technical data packages on new and existing designs. Working in a cross functional design team the candidate will be responsible for contributing to bringing designs through first article, test, integration and delivery to manufacturing. Applying principles and techniques of mechanical engineering to research, develop, design, and test verified design solutions. Providing support to both engineering and manufacturing in all design phases.

Responsibilities and duties include:

• Support both new development and manufacturing efforts in mechanical design and implementations.
• Demonstrate proficiency in material selection for underwater applications with corrosion considerations, structural analysis (finite element desired), electronic packing, CAD and solid work modeling (SolidWorks).
• Communicate designs and issues to each corresponding department.
• Research, develop, plan designs mechanical and electromechanical products for underwater applications.
• Coordinate activities involved in fabrication, operation, application, installation, and repair of mechanical or electromechanical products and systems
• Provide documentation for manufacturing support and design.
• Estimate labor and cost of materials for designs and applications.
• Build prototypes and tests fixtures for new design or to update existing designs and products.
• Experience with Aerospace Industry Standards is a plus.
• Travel to offsite locations as assigned.
• Communicate and support the efforts for each department with mechanical designs and implementations.
• Other duties as assigned.
