Mechanical (Hardware Design) - Prepare and maintain AutoCAD inventory files and perform mechanical designs of military “black boxes” using applicable DoD Technical Orders and industry best practices.
- Working with designs involving numerous part drawings and assembly drawings.
- Perform thermal and mechanical stress analysis for new and existing designs and identify potential obsolete parts issues prior to occurrence and provide recommended solutions.
- Access to the Government Industry Data Exchange Program’s Applications, Programs, and Indentures (GIDEP API), other Government databases, and specialized Diminishing Manufacturing.
- Identify potential obsolete parts issues prior to occurrence and provide recommended solutions.
- Use written guidance and local standard procedures to complete work requests, make recommendations for changes to facilities and equipment to improve production processes or to comply with regulatory requirements in support of various programs required of the organization.
- Research specifications, written guidance, and technical data such as drawings to make recommendations on modernization or maintenance of facilities and equipment.
- Perform reverse engineering of selected components, associated structures, and assemblies, as required to complete, or supplement system design and maintain precision tolerances where required.
- Perform all material, electrical and metallurgical evaluations using a structured process including issue identification studies, requirement definition, data development, technology insertion, verification, and production assistance.
- Repair 1970 – 2000 vintage manual and automatic test stations overcoming hardware failures and obsolescence within the equipment.
- Perform form-fit-function and programmable logic device design activities that will replace existing electronics using current technology electronics.
- Perform design, test, analysis, and consultation for all Radio Frequency (RF) projects including recommendations and specifications for appropriate equipment.
- Utilize design simulation software to validate designs prior to implementation.
