A global leader in power management, providing energy-efficient solutions for various industries.
The engineer develops, designs, and modifies aerospace conveyance products to meet defined customer and industry requirements, performing analysis to ensure compliance. Complex assignments often involve creating new or improved products, processes, or techniques.
Staying abreast of state‑of‑the‑art design tools, the engineer supports implementation of design changes aimed at improving quality, performance, cost, and standardization. Responsibilities include managing CAD activities, the product data‑management system, document numbering, drawing files, and change‑management documentation. All designs are completed following established change‑management procedures and utilize tools related to that process.
The role involves collaboration on DFMEAs, customer returns, and development projects to gain familiarity with design, development, and failure analysis. Compliance with Quality and Environmental Management Systems is required, and the engineer works under guidance to deepen fundamental engineering knowledge. Technical support includes analysis, corrective‑action recommendations, and reporting to internal and external customers.
The engineer designs and develops prototype hardware that satisfies customer and industry standards, using existing, modified, or new designs. They direct and support global design resources to ensure timely project completion and participate in internal, supplier, and customer design reviews. Building constructive relationships with cross‑functional teams enables efficient program execution according to schedule.
Advanced GD&T principles are applied to detailed drawings, employing geometric tolerance and statistical analysis tools. Understanding of manufacturing processes is leveraged to improve new and existing designs, and the engineer responds to customer inquiries about product function and design. Leadership includes driving changes to design standards, procedures, and data control practices.
A bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited institution is required, along with at least three months of engineering or manufacturing CAD experience. Candidates must be U.S. citizens, reside within 50 mi of Jackson, MI (military personnel exempt), and sponsorship is not available. No relocation assistance is provided.
Preferred qualifications include a master's degree, CATIA V5 expertise (especially surface modeling), and proficiency with GD&T per ASME Y14.5‑2009, ENOVIA, and Microsoft Office. Additional skills valued are FEA, additive manufacturing design, Six Sigma (DFSS Green Belt), and knowledge of fluid‑conveyance products such as hydraulic hoses, tubes, and fittings. The ability to manage multiple priorities, communicate clearly, and apply reliability and tolerance analysis techniques is essential.
