Mechanical Engineer

Mechanical Engineer

Location: Decatur, IL

Duration: 12+ Months

Role and Overview: Responsible for the large mining trucks engine installation and cooling team and that we have got all of the connections between the engine and the cooling module on the truck. We don't design the engine, its not camshafts and cylinder bores. We would be figuring out how to mount the engine into the frame. So selecting isomounts and designing castings and then we would do all of the connection for any of the lines that would go into the engine. Elsewhere on the truck or to the cooling module.

Top Skills: Solid Modeling Experience (Creo preferred) Ability to read engineering drawings and schematics required. Knowledge of engineering processes, drawing standards and specifications required. Problem Solving

Education and Experience: Bachelors Degree in Engineering 5-7 years of experience Masters with 4 years of experience No Cap on experience

Why this Role? This position for a Mechanical Engineer is within the Engine Installation and Cooling team supporting Large Mining Trucks. This position applies general job duties listed above to a design scope which includes a high level of integration of various components and subsystems of engine and cooling installations (eg: air intake lines, cooling module structures, exhaust components, fuel lines etc.). The type of component-level design in scope includes tube and hose routings, simple and complex fabricated steel structures, component mounting systems and non-metallic components. The engineering disciplines applicable include fluid mechanics, kinematics, machine design, strength of materials, structural fatigue, noise/vibration/harshness (NVH) and heat transfer.

Typical task breakdown: Upon receipt of project, determine scope and necessary actions. Perform Creo 3D modeling and initiate signoff workflow. Collaborate with other system teams for space claim. Review field history and implement lessons learned. Coordinate updates to drawings and engineering notices. Work with cross-functional teams to schedule production implementation.

Interaction with team: Based in Decatur, IL with a local on-site team of 5-6 with interaction of extended team members in Arizona and India. Collaboration with other system teams (Electrical, Light Structures, etc.) and the Large Mining Truck Product Group.

Work environment: Office environment with visits to Proving Grounds facility as necessary.

Technical Skills: (Required) Ability to read engineering drawings and schematics required. Knowledge of engineering processes, drawing standards and specifications required. Proficiency in Creo (Pro/E) modeling and simulation tools (or equivalent). Knowledge and experience with problem solving analysis – determining root cause, troubleshooting, concept generation, etc. Product development experience including product design, validation test and/or simulation. Demonstrated ability to collaborate and work effectively with cross functional teams and deliver proven, high-quality, cost-effective designs within committed timelines. Mechanical aptitude with ability to develop product concepts. (Desired) Proficiency in TeamCenter or equivalent software (release workflow tool). Ability to perform Creo Simulate analysis (or equivalent). Participation in SAE competitions (Mini Baja, Formula, Supermileage, etc.)
