About the role

As an experienced engineer, you will be able to lead by demonstrating engineering curiosity in customer/internal stakeholder requirements, creating work estimates, proposing improvements, conducting risk analysis and creating analysis and reviews to optimize solutions prior to design implementation. Additionally, you may be leading small teams of peer engineers, mentoring on best practices and following industry developments in the areas of CFD/FEA.

Technical tasks:

• Mechanical design - Produce requirements-driven modeled analyses/ solutions to be productized for customer use environments
• Physical analysis - Create FEA simulations based on requirements. Optimize structural design margins with FEA tools to ensure solutions are suitable for use, flexible and practical for manufacture
• Thermal design - Create CFD simulations based on requirements. Optimize mechanical designs considering thermal constraints for cabinet/wall-mounted equipment in wide ranging environments
• Participate in RF design - Design and simulate systems in accordance with Military Standards considering conducted/radiated emissions and susceptibility
• Test planning - based on requirements develop verification plans to evaluate lifecycle performance of equipment/systems
• Peer reviewing - Ensure work products effectively meet requirements, conform to standards and eliminate defects earlier in the design cycle
• Requirements reviews- Conduct reviews of internal customer/stakeholder requirements ensuring they are objective and have a clearly defined achievement metric
• Design specification authoring - Complete specifications detailing design rationale employed to effectively meet requirements
• Objective evidence - maintain simulation database to support design sell-off and support future reuse
• Risk analysis - Raise and assess risks/opportunities that may be realized during the development lifecycle

Responsibilities:

• Customer focus: Work to meet the needs of internal/external customers to deliver on requirements with analyses evidence. Seek clarity and flow down of priorities against timelines. Identify risk, likelihood and impacts to progress. Socialize/create mitigation strategies.
• Operational Excellence: Lead analysis estimates, studies, troubleshooting and reviews. Document comments to ensure stakeholders/customers are provided with concise results to support effective/timely decision making
• Continuous Improvement: Test opportunities to improve simulation tools development/options and analysis processes. Socialize analysis improvement initiatives for stakeholder feedback and implementation.
• Measuring/Tracking Progress: Mentor junior staff on tools use/best practices and estimates of work progress for tracking.

Adaptive Leadership: React to change by seeking, analyzing, testing and implementing solution alternatives collected by active team participation. Build individual and collective team credibility with a rigorous, qualitative and consistent delivery of output. Leadership style is consistently transactional but will take a broader business perspective when making decisions.
