The candidate will be required to design ground and/or flight hardware mechanical/structural components and subsystems compliant with customer requirements and LMSSC best practices (CIPS) in activities related to developing, revising, and releasing engineering drawings. Proven capability to design using CREO; to develop and release engineering designs including CAD objects using Engineering Product Data Management (EPDM) processes (or equivalent). Will coordinate engineering design packages with program PMP, stress, systems engineering, checking, manufacturing, product assurance, and configuration and data management as a minimum; specify engineering approvers; change task development in EPDM would be a plus but not necessary. Will implement strict CAD modeling standards; utilize "model-check" tools and resolve design conflicts to meet modeling standards. Will design components and subsystems using interfaces from a master CAD model. Will develop, integrate component and subsystem designs as part of the single master target CAD model. In addition, candidate will be expected to incorporate redlines, complete drawing and model changes, federate parts and materials, and coordinate changes for release in EPDM. The candidate will also be expected to handle aspects of product acceptance reviews, Engineering Material Review Board (EMRB), and Responsible Engineer (Certified Principal Engineer or equivalent) functions. Some travel may be required.
