As a Senior Mechanical Engineer, You Will

• Analyze and interpret design specifications, drawings, documentation, models, and test results to ensure technical designs comply with applicable engineering standards, military specifications, and product requirements.
• Serve as an Engineering Support point of contact for all programs and components manufactured in Louisville.
• Work with production support to create Problem Reports detailing engineering related issues with items in production.
• Develop timely, complex and non‑complex solutions to problems and coordinate effective fixes through Problem Reports, Variances, standard and non‑standard repairs, and configuration notes.
• Communicate and collaborate with EPS, Integrated Program Teams (IPT), and Program members to drive issues to closure.
• Maintain the Variance control process for production‑related variations from the technical data package (TDP), including obtaining internal and customer approval for subject Variances.
• Assist in assigned special projects and/or process improvement teams to improve work effectiveness and relationships between Design and Production, such as improving configuration management of TDP and re‑manufacturing drawings, and developing and implementing design‑change workflow processes within configuration management and engineering data management systems.
• Recommend design enhancements for the system, subsystem, or component design to the design engineering group.
• Use CAD tools and basic measuring equipment to define current characteristics that enable timely solutions to production issues.
• Perform daily coordination with onsite Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain teams.
• Maintain a safe work environment and ensure compliance with safety objectives, policies, and rules.
• Regularly work in a manufacturing or fabrication environment, safely navigating production areas that may require climbing, kneeling, stooping, and working in confined spaces, and complying with all personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements.
