Our client in Tonawanda, New York is looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join their growing team! Our partner is growing in the Aerospace and Defense field and is adding to staff due to their accelerated growth!
This is an on-site/full-time/direct-hire position.
Salary based on experience: $80k-$95k depending on experience
Position Summary
- The successful candidate will provide technical support, to a cross-functional team, in areas of dynamic energy management.
- The candidate will apply knowledge of mechanical and structural design elements with kinematic motion analysis to evaluate system solutions for isolated systems.
- Typical engineering activities include interpreting application requirements, analyzing system inputs and responses, choosing appropriate design elements and technologies, and designing custom solutions. Custom solutions consist of various unique components such as springs (mechanical and fluid), dampers, and isolators that require bottom-up detailed design for physical performance and strength of materials.
- The ideal candidate will be proficient in mechanical analysis and design of dynamic systems, specifically in the area of damped harmonic motion. This requires a sound knowledge of statics, kinematics, dynamics, strength of materials, and fluid dynamics. Proficiency with design software such as Solidworks is expected; experience with FEM such as MSCOne is a plus. A primary element of the position will be to interpret the application needs and to recommend solutions when an incomplete information set is often not available.
- Engineering work may also include specification preparation and review, support to bids and proposals, customer/supplier interface, documentation of designs/analyses/tests, and hands-on.
Essential Functions
- Key contributor to the development of complex and dynamic energy management systems.
- Interpersonal and effective communicator, able to work alone and as part of a team.
- Creative and analytical thinker.
- Design and documentation of safe, reliable, and cost-effective engineering solutions.
- Support to Aerospace and Defense, Structural and Industrial industries.
- Meeting with customers, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to assist with design, detailing, analysis,
- Budgeting, project development, and execution.
- CAD using Solidworks 3D.
- CAE using MSCOne suite of simulation software.
- ERP using Infor Syteline.
- Travel to support programs.
- This position requires access to information and hardware subject to U.S. export control.
Requirements
- Must have excellent communication and organizational skills.
- Minimum education: BS in engineering.
- Minimum software experience: 3D modeling; Preferred: Solidworks CAD
- Preferred experience: Broad background in mechanical design and analysis, strength of materials,
- Kinematics, dynamics, and fluid mechanics.
- Preferred analysis capability: Experience in FEA, FEM, and numerical modeling
- Minimum experience: College Graduate
- Preferred experience: 5+ years in a mechanical engineering-related field
Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S.
