As a Propulsion Build Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the development of high rate manufacturing processes for vehicle fluid systems.
This position demands close interaction with both design and build teams across the program, including participation in physical builds and installation of propulsion systems.
Responsibilities
* Develop Manufacturing Processes: Create efficient and effective techniques and tools to enable high rate manufacturing.
* Simplify Vehicle Fluid Systems: Collaborate with the design engineering team to drive simplicity into the vehicle fluids systems at every level.
* Guide a Team: Lead a team of technicians, welders, and fabricators in building high quality and functional fluid systems hardware.
* Coordinate Development: Execute development, qualification, and acceptance testing of systems and tooling needed to meet hardware deadlines.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:
* Bachelor's or advanced degree in aerospace engineering, manufacturing engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, or other engineering discipline.
* Hands-on project experience with fluid and/or mechanical systems.
* 1+ years of manufacturing design experience (internship and academic experience is applicable).
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
* 2+ years of experience with GD&T concepts.
* Experience with fluid mechanics, incompressible and compressible flow, and heat transfer.
* Experience with pressurized components (valves, regulators, tubes, pipes, etc.).
* Experience with mechanical design, including basic structures and fluids calculations and design considerations.
* Process development, facility and line layouts, error-proofing.
* Experience with Unigraphics NX and Teamcenter CAD and PLM systems.
* Detailed knowledge of Siemens NX or similar CAD and PLM packages.
* Prior experience with developing, maintaining, and improving welding processes.
* Experience with automated and manual welding processes for piping and structural applications.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:
* Ability to perform job duties that require standing, kneeling, crouching, twisting upper body, working in cramped positions in small openings and climbing hand over hand.
* Typically exposed to work in extreme outdoor environments - heat, cold, rain.
* Work performed in an environment requiring exposure to fumes, odors, and noise.
* Schedule varies depending on site operational needs; flexibility required.
* Flexibility to travel to remote build sites, up to 10%.
