Mechanical Engineer Asc

About the Role

Join the specialized field of Mass Properties Engineering, supporting satellite, missile, or special programs. This role is crucial for ensuring payloads reach their correct orbits, missile systems intercept threats, payloads are delivered with pinpoint accuracy, and for developing lightweight directed energy weapons.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide Mass Properties Engineering support to multiple satellite, missile, or special programs.
• Calculate mass properties and update/maintain the mass properties database.
• Perform basic trade studies and make presentations at program design reviews.
• Support the development of test procedures, perform mass properties measurements, and reduce/interpret measurement data into reports.
• Support Mass Properties Control Boards and weight reduction teams.
• Document and publish analysis reports.
• Support mass properties efforts on small or large programs.
• Research, plan, design, and develop mechanical products and systems (e.g., instruments, controls, engines, machines, thermal hydraulic systems) for production, transmission, measurement, and use of energy.
• Apply research to the planning, design, development, and testing of mechanical and/or electromechanical systems, instruments, controls, engines, and/or machines.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.
• Demonstrated ability in calculating mass properties (mass, 3-axis centers of gravity, moments, and products of inertia) of components.
• Demonstrated ability in performing summation calculations into assemblies.
• Ability to use and understand the concepts behind simple software tools for calculations.
• Microsoft Word, Excel, and Power Point.
• Solid modeling applications (e.g., IDEAS, Pro-E, or CREO).
• Mathcad and/or MATLAB.
• Other software tools.
• Ability to write Mass Properties procedures, practices, and/or specifications.
• Familiarity with manufacturing and assembly techniques & processes.
• Familiarity with developing test procedures.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong social skills and ability to build solid relationships with team members.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace), Physics, Mathematics, or related field.
• Desired: Active Secret clearance.
