Job Details:
Purpose
The Signal and Information Sciences Laboratory (SISL) delivers capabilities to government customers for diverse applications, from embedded real-time tactical applications in ruggedized environments to hybrid mechanical systems for a variety of uses.
SISL is seeking a motivated individual to support advanced mechanical design of ruggedized systems in defense-related applications.
As a member of a team of engineers, you will be responsible for a variety of mechanical design functions to meet the end-user needs.
The selected applicant will become a significant member of a project team providing mechanical design and computer-aided design (CAD) support to major program offices, including Mechanical Load/Shock/Vibration Analysis, Thermal Analysis, Interconnects and Cabling, Equipment Access and Maintenance approaches, Installation approaches, and supporting data used in modular designs for integrated Naval systems computing infrastructure within the Signal and Information Systems Laboratory of ARL:UT. Provide mechanical design support involving both large scale and small sub-component designs for ruggedized modular systems. Design ruggedization solutions for COTS equipment to support military equipment needs.
Responsibilities
- Analyze requirements and perform trade-offs/assessments of design alternatives.
- Design, develop, and implement ruggedized designs of computing and display infrastructure components for military applications, using state-of-the-art Computer-Aided Design tools.
- Document designs in interface control drawings, technical data packages, and other documentation formats used by the Navy.
- Communicate with project team members, supervisors, and sponsors for timely implementation of project requirements.
- Other related functions as assigned.
Required Qualifications
- BS degree in an engineering, computer science, physics, or applied science field.
- Experience in mechanical design of ruggedized components.
- Extensive knowledge and expertise in ProE, Solidworks, and/or CREO CAD System Tools.
- Ability to develop 3D CAD designs from an initial set of requirements.
- Work within a team environment and with end-users.
- Ability to perform trade-offs and develop alternative solutions to meet the end-user needs, and be able to articulate design trade-offs between different solutions from a technical complexity, risk, cost, and integration standpoints. Ability to work independently with sensitive information, maintain a professional demeanor, effectively communicate with diverse groups, and respond quickly to user needs
US Citizen. Applicant selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information at the level appropriate to the project requirements of the position.
Preferred Qualifications
- Demonstrated experience implementing modular system designs in a CAD environment.
- Demonstrated capability to understand military requirements, ruggedization techniques, and COTS product packaging capabilities and limitations.
- Demonstrated ability to apply military specifications and industry standards, and use discipline in configuration management and documentation.
- Cumulative GPA of 3.0.
General Notes
An agency designated by the federal government handles the investigation as to the requirement for eligibility for access to classified information. Factors considered during this investigation include but are not limited to allegiance to the United States, foreign influence, foreign preference, criminal conduct, security violations, drug involvement, the likelihood of continuation of such conduct, etc.
