Job description

Bell - College Work Experience Program - Technical

The UTA Bell College Work Experience Program (CWEP), which allows undergraduate students the opportunity to gain real-world work skills and abilities relevant to their academic and career goals, is one of numerous UTA initiatives designed to increase meaningful engagement between the University and the corporate community. It aligns with UTA’s Maverick Advantage program, which prepares students for careers through experiential, hands‑on learning opportunities. As a UTA Student Worker at Bell you will have the opportunity to combine your passion and knowledge to solve some of the world’s most difficult challenges required to bring rotorcraft products to market. You will get to work with great people who share your passion to introduce new ideas, improve on the past, and leave your mark on the future.

CWEPs can work up to 25 hours per week (12 hours min.) during spring and fall semesters, and up to 40 hours per week during Spring, Summer, and Winter Breaks with Supervisor approval. The CWEP is a paid opportunity for students.

Roles for Mechanical Engineering Majors could include:

Designer Role

• Initiate, design and document engineering change for part revisions.
• Create model‑based definition, which includes 2D and 3D annotations, for detail, assembly, and installation of aircraft components and engineering bill of materials.

Analysis Role

• Perform detailed analyses to satisfy strength, stability, stiffness, fatigue, weight, manufacturing, and other requirements for advanced vertical lift system components using both classical and finite element methods (FEM).
• Review detailed part or assembly definition prior to production release.
• Examine structural or material discrepancies and create associated inspection and repair procedures at production phase.

Roles for Electrical Engineering Majors could include:

• Taking part in the organization, planning, and management of new aircraft avionics and mission systems within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) to meet program and customer defined requirements.
• Build, interface, and test multiple computer systems in a modular architecture to meet MOSA, Safety, Security, Environmental, EMI and performance requirements while working in an Agile framework.
• Support the development and validation of system requirements.
• System development and software testing in a systems integration lab.

Roles for Aerospace Engineering Majors could include:

Flight Test

• Support experimental testing with flight test team.

R&M Role

• Perform Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA) adhering to Military Standards for both hardware and software at multiple indenture levels.
• Formulate reliability analyses and predictions (including development of failure rate estimates based on handbook techniques and historical data) using Relyence or equivalent software.
• Collect, analyze, and score Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) data. Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Engineering Investigations (EI), and Correction Action Plans (CAP) for failed aircraft components including participation in Reliability Review scoring boards.

Systems Role

• Support development of requirements and specifications for subsystems, components, parts, and assemblies.
• End-to-end aircraft architecture modeling and requirements definition.
• System-of-system modeling of aircraft fleets in operational environments.
• Collaboration with an extensive team of aircraft designers to build cutting‑edge vertical lift aircraft.
• Utilize Model Base Systems Engineering (MBSE) to realize/describe/analyze complex systems in SysML.
• Promote, mature, and grow the application and use of MBSE for assigned design teams, program, and enterprise.
