ENGINEER - RESEARCH ENGINEER - Mechanical Design

18-01538

Who We Are:

The Mechanical Fabrication Center consists of two distinct areas of craft technicians. The Machine Shop creates precision machined components utilizing the equipment available. The Fabrication Shop is an accredited ASME Pressure Vessel production operations that engages structural and piping efforts.

Objectives of this Role:

• This is a unique opportunity for Engineers with a strong interest in welding technologies and fabrication to meet the most stringent requirements; ASME PVHO, NAVSEA 9290, American Bureau of Shipping and NQA-1.
• Work within a highly collaborative team to support the design, analysis, fabrication, and testing of unique, large article pressure vessels used in a variety of subsea or surface applications.
• Utilize CAD software (Creo and/or Solidworks) to support mechanical designs, visualize component fitments within assemblies, and generate fabrication drawings.
• Develop knowledge of fabrication methods, assembly, and geometric dimensioning & tolerance (GD&T) to ensure components are designed in a way that can be manufactured and assembled. Develop methods for data collection and the preparation of weld procedures.
• Communicate ideas, results, and other information to coworkers as well as commercial and government clients.
• Incorporate various design code, industry, and/or customer specifications to ensure compliance and performance requirements are met.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Generate CAD models used for design evaluations, communicate design input to support FEA analysis, to create fabrication drawings, and communicate conceptual ideas to internal / external customers.
• Generate clear, concise reports, presentations, and other supporting documentation related to design and fabrication methods.
• Interface with project managers and team members to identify, plan, and execute project objectives. Regularly communicate status and schedule of ongoing activities.
• Execute quality program objectives both internal and project-specific, that may include drawing reviews, ECO execution/revision processes, or other documentation review and retention requirements.
• Provide input or generate test plans to verify proper function and/or application of loads during physical testing (i.e. Factory Acceptance Test procedures).

Requirements:

• Requires a Bachelors in Welding Engineering or Mechanical Engineering and must present a focused course of study, exposure and interest in expanding their career in the field of Welding Technologies.
• 0 - 4 years: Use of CAD software to generate detailed fabrication drawings and willingness to learn Creo (Pro-Engineer) if not already proficient.
• 0 - 4 years: Mechanical design for manufacturing or fabrication.
• 0 - 5 years: Exposure to welding, or welding technologies.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.

Special Requirements:

Applicant selected will be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Applicant must be a U.S. citizen.
