Mechanical Design Engineer (Associate or Mid-Level)

Overview Mechanical Design Engineer (Associate or Mid-Level) at Boeing. The role supports the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) engineering design team in Hazelwood, MO, supporting Boeing Phantom Works and Air Dominance Military Programs. The team creates a wide range of products to support military aircraft maintenance and ground operations, including aircraft slings, engine installation equipment, landing gear installation equipment, handling dollies, subsystems, protective covers and remove-before-flight gear. The position matures existing design concepts into deliverable products and may develop mechanical products from scratch. Occasional domestic travel to support fabrication, assembly and test may be required. Responsibilities Utilize NX and Teamcenter to mature existing conceptual mechanical equipment designs of simple to medium complexity into functional products. Provide input and recommendations for new 3-D engineering layouts, develop 3-D models, designs/drawings and 2-D drawing changes for a wide variety of mechanical ground support equipment. Make engineering design recommendations based on analysis, loads, material properties, configurations, safety factors, etc. Support design maturation by selecting and incorporating common mechanical components (fasteners, springs, spring pins, dowel pins, casters, turnbuckles, bushings, screw jacks, etc.) into designs. Participate in informal peer design reviews. Develop and apply knowledge of materials, material compatibility and corrosion prevention to improve product designs. Understand and apply model-based dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to new detail parts and assemblies in support of engineering package release. Evaluate supplier hardware non-conformances and material substitutions. Work under general supervision with advisement from more experienced engineers. Work with strength engineers to incorporate sizing updates (stiffness, deflection, stress, etc.) into CAD models. Responsibilities (continued) Lay out and develop new equipment design concepts for undeveloped need areas. Utilize NX and Teamcenter to mature existing conceptual mechanical equipment designs of medium to high complexity into functional products. Coordinate GSE attachment schemes and interfaces with other engineering groups (air vehicle and/or subsystems). Coordinate sizing and loads with air vehicle team for support equipment-to-air vehicle interfaces. Support internal, informal peer reviews and formal design reviews as needed. Apply knowledge of materials, material compatibility and corrosion prevention to improve product designs. Apply model-based dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to new detail parts and assemblies in support of engineering package release. Evaluate supplier hardware non-conformances and material substitutions. Supports proposal preparation and new business development efforts. Train and coach early career engineers. Work independently under minimal direction. Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience) Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited program in engineering, engineering technology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science. 2 or more years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience. Proficiency in advanced CAD modeling software (NX, Catia or SolidWorks). Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience) 3+ years of higher education and/or related work experience. Experience with mechanism design, mechanical tolerancing and product development. Willingness to work outside the office environment, supporting and incorporating feedback from machine shops, mechanics and assembly technicians. Experience interpreting 2D engineering drawings. Experience in cost-efficient prototyping and creating functional proof-of-concepts. Experience handling multiple projects at once. Experience with engineering materials and material properties (aluminum, steel, engineering plastics, fabrics, webbing). Experience with mechanical ground support equipment (engine dollies, aircraft jacks, cranes, etc.). Knowledge of detailing parts and assemblies requiring machining, welding, and post processing. Knowledge of incorporating mechanical hardware into designs (fasteners, bearings, screw jacks, gear boxes, springs, casters, etc.). Ability to communicate and work effectively in a team; technically minded with attention to detail.
