Your impact will happen in these and other ways:

• Utilizes mechanical engineering principles and practices to determine structural performance of components and systems in order to provide improvement recommendations.
• Determines the validity of the mechanical design to meet user requirements and provides design recommendation as needed.
• Obtains input and negotiate with Design, Thermal Sciences, Materials and Product Validation and deliver key structural performance parameters like motion, load, natural frequencies, stress, design margin, life, and sound power to Design and Product Validation. Makes technical decisions in the area of structural design, such as materials and their processing as well as geometry, that impact structural performance of mechanical components and systems.
• Applies computer modeling processes including Matlab, Python, APDLANSYS, FORTRAN, Excel or C programming, Windows/Linux operating systems and high performance computing hardware systems for complex technical problem solving and decision making.
• Utilizes mechanical engineering tools and methods including ANSYS, FE-Safe, GT-Suite and AVL Excite required to provide guidance for processes that enable high quality decision making regarding structure.
• Applies Principles of Fatigue and Durability to determine life of mechanical components and systems via numerical modeling and physical measurements and evaluates component temperatures, natural frequencies, mode shapes, displacements, strains/stresses, wear and fatigue life to draw conclusions that influence design decisions.
• Utilizes the Principles of Noise and Acoustics and the Principles of Dynamics and Vibration to evaluate both air and structure borne noise, sound power levels, sound quality, rigid and flexible body motion, velocities, accelerations, friction, and wear. Impact mechanical product design decisions to best meet stakeholder’s requirements through the utilization and interpretation of numerical tools and methods that predict the performance of a mechanical component or system.
• Solves complex product problems using a process that protects the user, determines the assignable cause, implements data-based solutions, identifies systemic root causes, and recommends actions to prevent problem reoccurrence.
• Identifies representation of a system or system element by using suitable analytical tools and techniques including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) in order to derive knowledge about the real system.
• Defines the strategy for modeling, simulation, and analysis of mechanical systems and mechanical system elements by considering specifics of a given situation or nature of the system of interest in order to derive insights for making quality decisions.
• Creates CAD models in Creo, Solidworks with PDM management in Windchill, Solidworks PDM in support of FEA. Manage individual part life cycle including design, procurement, validation, production and retirement.

Skills and Experience Required:
