Mechanical Engineer II

The Company

Galvion designs, develops, and manufactures ballistic helmets and dynamic power and data management solutions for the modern battlefield. We are a passionate, global, and fast-paced team collaborating with several strategic partners and are committed to enhancing the overall agility and survivability of the modern warfighter and tactical operator.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Mechanical Engineer II is part of the team responsible for creating a wide range of solutions for the company’s product line; from component level to system level solutions. The Mechanical Engineer II will participate in the development of design concepts using CAD tools, mock-ups, and prototypes, and will participate in the validation of designs through analysis, testing, and trials. They will be a key member of the design and engineering teams and will participate in new product development and product improvement efforts. They will work alongside other departments to establish the design brief, including the concept, performance, and production constraints and criteria to ensure manufacturability, durability, and performance of the products. The Mechanical Engineer II will liaise with process and tool engineering, supply chain, and operations to ensure the transition of designs into mass production. Within the Design Engineering team, they will be the Subject Matter Expert regarding technical documentation and specifications, drafting standards, and GD&T. They will be mentored by senior mechanical engineers to develop their capabilities, expertise, and mastery of engineering best practices.

What You Will Be Doing

1. Liaise with other departments and suppliers during product development.
2. Establish design briefs, including concepts, assumptions, performance, and production constraints.
3. Perform or outsource analytic work such as static and dynamic stress analysis.
4. Select components, technologies, materials, and manufacturing processes suited for the application.
5. Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis and support fact-based decision making.
6. Track engineering budgets and optimize for size, weight, and material conditions.
7. Create 3D models and 2D drawings of parts and assemblies.
8. Validate designs through testing and trials.
9. Document mechanical specifications for manufacturing.
10. Manage and control configuration of technical data.
11. Create and update bills of material (BOM).
12. Manage technical data within an ERP system.
13. Perform other duties as assigned.
