Virginia Beach VA 23451 US
Mechanical Engineer II
Headquarters Virginia Beach, Va 23451 Global Technical Systems (GTS) provides innovative, cost-effective, high-tech engineering products and product-based services encompassing latest generation software and hardware solutions and engineering services for defense, homeland security, and other critical Government interests. GTS products and services span a spectrum that includes mission-critical combat systems processors; C4ISR; technology development including threat detection, biometric identification systems, and composite applications for munitions, armor and energy storage; avionics test systems; and lifecycle logistics support and repair. Our Headquarters office in Virginia Beach, VA is searching for a Mechanical Engineer II How your expertise will fit into GTS’ world: General Description: Provides technical support and original design inputs for complex systems, specifically mechanical systems and subsystems. Applies system, hardware, and software knowledge, as applicable, to the development of new products from concept through production, and the redesign / modification of existing systems. Performs analyses and trade studies and provides technical input to specifications that support system and module design and enhancement. Evaluates and recommends options and alternatives for system and module level components. Relies on experience and judgment to plan and accomplish goals. Principal Duties and Responsibilities: • Provides original design inputs to the development of complex mechanical engineering projects. • Supports investigations and engineering evaluations of highly complex projects and products. • Evaluates vendor capabilities for providing the required level of performance of products and / or services. • Works with team members, including other engineering disciplines and program management, to transfer ideas into core product processes, facilitate / implement design ideas, and improve existing products. • Interacts with customers, vendors, engineers, production personnel and program management to successfully complete projects. • Provides technical consultation to the engineering team. • Provides contributions to both system level and module definition. • Prepares requirements documents and detailed specifications, as required, to define and allocate requirements to systems and system components. • Works with teams of highly skilled professionals to research, design and develop new and complex systems and architectures. • Considers approaches and techniques for rapid prototyping, full scale (production) development and test. • Participates in technical discussions to develop product ideas and resolve problems. • Conducts technical research to understand alternate approaches to a problem and / or technical issues. Provides justification and support of the merits of a proposed solution to senior staff members. • Originates design documents and concept papers consistent with project efforts for review by senior members of the technical staff. • Performs engineering calculations, analyses and simulations as required. Utilizes Computer-Aided Design tools to capture, document, and validate design artifacts where applicable. • Review’s drawings and technical papers for compliance with project / program requirements. • Creates and manages Bill of Materials (BOMs). • Manages multiple projects simultaneously. Functions as a contributor to cross-functional teams. Reports project status as needed to management and takes necessary steps to maintain project design schedules. • Provides tutoring / mentoring to junior members of the technical staff. Work Experience Requirements:
3-7 years relevant engineering experience in a mechanical engineering discipline. Educational Requirements:
Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Working Conditions:
This work is typically performed in an office environment, which requires normal safety precautions; work may require some physical effort in the handling of light materials, boxes, or equipment. Request for reasonable accommodations will be considered to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions of the job. Physical demands include ability to lift and/or move 10-25 pounds.
Essential Skills/Experience: • Ability to prepare and present technical information. • Experience and proficiency using Computer-Aided Design tools (e.g., Solidworks, Inventor, AutoCAD) and Finite Element Analysis software (e.g., ANSYS) as applicable. • Experience working with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. (e.g., Costpoint) • Strong organizational skills: demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities. • Good understanding of mechanical engineering in area of expertise, and capability to support other mechanical engineering related disciplines. • Ability to work both independently and in highly collaborative teams. • Ability to accurately articulate concepts, theories and system design attributes to technical team members. • Ability to acquire and maintain a DoD security clearance Beneficial Skills/Experience: • Experience with government programs and defense systems • Working knowledge of Microsoft Office products GTS offers a stimulating and exciting work atmosphere with competitive salary and benefits package. Pursuant to our contracts with the federal government, U.S. citizenship is required for this position. GTS is ISO 9001:2015 certified. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer, making decisions without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, veteran status, disability or any other protected class.
