Mechanical Engineer III

Role Overview

• Applies engineering techniques to design, install, modify, analyze, repair and test tools, engines, machines and other mechanically functioning equipment
• Be a part of a design team focused on the development of the next generation UAV systems and their subsystems
• 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 design
• Reads and interprets blueprints, technical drawings, schematics, and computer-generated reports
• Assists project managers with the planning and scheduling of engineering work
• Confers with engineers and other personnel to implement operating procedures, resolve system malfunctions, and provide technical information
• Develop manufacturing drawings and bills of materials for components and assemblies using industry drafting standards
• Researches and analyzes customer design proposals, specifications, manuals, and other data to evaluate the feasibility, cost, and maintenance requirements of designs or applications
• Supports design reviews, assist project managers with the planning and scheduling of engineering work, and support manufacturing & suppliers with the production of components & assemblies
• Resolves a wide range of issues in creative ways while applying company policies and procedures
• Completes assigned tasks within project schedule and budget
• Demonstrates full understanding of the specialization of the role and can research/re-engineer to propose alternate solutions to fairly complex issues
• Works on problems of diverse scope where analysis of data requires evaluation of identifiable factors
• Makes decisions that have some impact on project costs and schedule
• Provides articulate, accurate instructions and guidance to lower-level Engineers as well as team members outside the department
