• Upload and manage parts lists, drawings, and models to product lifecycle management tool (Teamcenter)
• Perform thermal, mechanical, fatigue, and structural analyses
• Ensure standards for key product development processes are defined and followed for engineering, design, analysis and testing. Ensure these standard processes are uniformly adhered to and followed
• Skilled at DFx (design for cost, design for manufacturing, design for test). Ensure designs include a balanced approach to optimize performance, assembly, integration, and test
• Prepare and present external design reviews with management and customers
• Support environmental tests (thermal, vibration, and pyroshock) for both unit qualification and production
• Accept responsibility and accountability for project tasks and milestone achievement commensurate with spacecraft program needs
• Mentor and lead more junior engineers in product design heritage, methodology, and test philosophies
