Component Design Engineer

Job Description:

DPP is seeking a Component Design Engineer for an opportunity in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Work arrangement:

Onsite in Indianapolis, IN
W2 position; 12 months

Position summary:

The Component Design Engineer is responsible for the on-time delivery and quality of component design definition artefacts, i.e., documents, models, definitions that meet system level and sub-system requirements.
The Component Design Engineer will participate within an IPT described by Product Lifecycle System (PLS) and operate in accordance with applicable Client policies and processes.
The Component Design Engineer is responsible for sub-system integration of the technical activities for their design solutions and enabling lifecycle profitability through the Supply Chain Design.

Must-haves:

Must have a BS or MS (mechanical or aerospace, NOT computer engineering)
5 years of relevant gas turbine experience with Bachelor’s degree
Automotive or aerospace experience would be acceptable as well

Key responsibilities:

Deliver design solutions for component(s), complex assemblies and whole engines in consideration of safety, manufacturing capability, product physical and functional robustness. Design solutions also should address Unit Cost, Lifecycle Cost, Weight, Maintainability, Repair.
Deliver definition to appropriate stakeholder groups’ requirements (e.g. manufacturing (domestic/external), project customers, airframers and partners, analysis team, etc.) in accordance with associated agreed policies via conventional and future state approaches (Model Based Definition in association with the Model Based Environment).
Create and use automated and integrated tool sets. When repeat design is anticipated, create automated workflows to enable the design of the component utilizing house style, standard features, and standard assessments to define the optimum design as part of automated MBD, manufacture and measurement definitions.
Elimination of Non-Conformance/Zero Defects/Delivery of Producibility within a Manufacturing Environment. This will be through analyzing customer and program requirements, incorporation of manufacturing and measurement process capability into the design solution rationale and associated manufacturing definition. Establish and adoption of lean principles like standardization/house style to achieve deterministic solutions and producible components in a repeatable fashion. Improvements to design methods, rules and tools to achieve robustness. Application of Robust Design, Systems Engineering, Risk Management (XFMEA) and Design in Context to ensure right first time can be achieved.
Quality Assurance through checking design documents, models, drawings in accordance with the Client’s technical requirements and proactive Zero Defects approaches.
Carry out analyses using formula-based calculations and/or automated workflows for dimensioning of parts and components (e.g., stability, stiffness, profiles, balance point, weights) and where appropriate, using analytical rules, tools and methods to underwrite the design solution against requirements.
Note that in Nuclear, the CAD team are not responsible for carrying out analyses.
Create technical documents to comply with process, knowledge management, information and data policies.
Enable through life Supply Chain Design and Lifecycle profitability for mature product fleets through the application and possibly creation of various mechanisms (non-conformance management, drawing alteration requests, repair instructions, engine manual limits and technical variants (TV)).
Plan, manage and execute external designs via orders placed at design service providers or suppliers with design and production authorization for complete devices (Design only / Design and Make Package) leading to approval of the designs and all documents.
Manage product configuration and assure data integrity.
Execute sub-system integration process including the appropriate use of Systems Engineering and Robust Design tools to ensure that the technical attributes of the Sub-system design meet the agreed requirements.

Required knowledge, skills, and abilities:

Bachelor&39;s degree or Master&39;s in Engineering or regional equivalent qualification, or equivalent experience
Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and have an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts which include but are not limited to manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, thermal and mechanical analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking on a range of technical problems and make balanced decisions across technical and business parameters
Knowledge and experience of product integrity / liability and certification frameworks
Membership in a relevant professional body appropriate to region. In the UK - attained/ working towards Chartered status is preferred (and equivalent regional variations)
Good communication and presentation skills at all levels of the organization
