Mechanical Engineer Asc - Early Career

Standard Job Description

Join the outstanding and specialized field of Mass Properties Engineering and help ensure our spacecraft get payloads to the right orbit around our planet or around other objects in our solar system, help our missile systems intercept a threat and protect our troops, help deliver a payload with pinpoint accuracy, or help us develop smaller, lightweight directed energy weapons so they can be deployed on a variety of platforms.

As a Mass Properties Engineer, you will:

• Provide Mass Properties Engineering support to multiple satellite, missile or special programs

• Calculate mass properties and update and maintain mass properties database

• Perform basic trade studies and make presentations at program design reviews

• Support development of test procedures and perform mass properties measurements, then reduce and interpret measurement data into reports

• Support Mass Properties Control Boards and weight reduction teams

• Document and publish all types of analysis reports and support the mass properties effort on small or large programs

Researches, plans, designs and develops mechanical products and systems such as instruments, controls, robots, engines, machines and mechanical, thermal hydraulic or heat transfer systems for production, transmission, measurement, and use of energy. Applies research to the planning, design, development, and testing of mechanical and/or electromechanical systems, instruments, controls, engines, and/or machines.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Aerospace), Physics, Mathematics or related field.
