Job description

SUMMARY

Intergalactic is a team of engineers, technologists, designers, mathematicians, and problem solvers committed to a
singular idea: reviving the no-boundaries mentality in aerospace. We are a team of the nation's best, regardless of
where we live.

The Mechanical Design Engineer plays a pivotal role in coordinating resources and activities to support new product designs, design reviews, detailed analyses, and the development of work instructions. This position ensures the delivery of high-quality products that meet customer specifications. Experience with rotating machinery is required.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own design activities through the life of development programs (from concept through detailed design to
  production release).
• Develop CAD 3D models and associated drawings and other documentation.
  
• Design high-speed rotating assemblies including shafts, housings, bearing cooling flow paths, seals, etc.
  
• Support high-speed bearing selection and design.
  
• Support strategic new business opportunities and IR&D efforts, including rapid iterations to at least a
  preliminary machine cross-section
  
• Support the structural analysis team in generating deliverables such as rotor dynamics analysis and
  containment analysis.
  
• Work closely with the Systems Engineer, performance engineers, aerodynamicists, and structural engineers,
  and program team to ensure designs meet technical and program requirements.
  
• Develop and maintain standard engineering methods and tools used to develop new designs.
  
• Manage the development and implementation of new designs through design analysis, risk mitigation,
  review of safety factors & stack-ups, reliability tools, schedules, and design reviews.
  
• Verify designs have adequate Safety Factors before releasing to production.
• Work with the customer/redesign if required to obtain producible designs.
  
• Collaborate closely with customers to ensure product performance and integration into the end platform.
  
• Review and approve documentation for transition from prototype to production.
  
• Provide engineering support to troubleshoot and diagnose a non-performing product.
  
• When assigned, oversee the failure analysis process, providing support and final review of all reports.
  
• Perform other duties as assigned.
  

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
