Job Information -

Looking for a Mass Properties Engineer to support our Mechanical and Energetics department. As a member of the mass properties group, you will be in a fast-paced environment working with many diverse groups to model the mass properties of various launch vehicles. Your work ensures every mission is successful by meeting critical performance and weight requirements, directly impacting national security and helping to advance land and space based scientific exploration. This early-career role offers hands-on experience with advanced aerospace systems, collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, and opportunities to innovate in a fast-paced environment. 

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain Mass Properties Models for launch vehicles and subsystems.
• Perform weight and balance analysis, including estimating and optimizing mass properties for launch systems.
• Establish design target weights and track compliance throughout the project lifecycle.
• Maintain mass properties accounting systems and provide trend analysis for program leadership.
• Support proposal evaluations, design reviews, and operational documentation.
• Conduct component weighing and verification to improve accuracy of estimates.
• Present findings in technical and program reviews.
• Regular and close interaction with other groups and departments to gather needed information and communicate status.

As a Process Engineer your responsibilities will include design, engineering, commissioning, new product introduction, testing, troubleshooting, continuous improvement, and technical support for industrial facility systems, process equipment, machinery, and various processes for an industry-leading Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul organization for gas turbine engines and components.

• Manage the planning, design, engineering, procurement, cost, scheduling, construction, commissioning and troubleshooting activities of multiple projects by coordinating effort with various internal departments, project teams, outside contractors and consultants.
• Manage engineering projects requiring mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, structural, and chemical considerations. Prepares technical reports for internal use and for submission to local technical authorities for approval.
• Deploy turn-key preventative maintenance plans, visual aids, operating instructions, and troubleshooting instructions for equipment where applicable.
• Provide technical support and engineering ownership for various facility systems, machinery, and process equipment to support effective MRO processes. Including facilitation of failure modes and effects analysis or root cause analysis initiatives to prevent or resolve challenges.
• Develop detailed cost benefits analysis and technical justification for project proposals
• Manages budgets and timelines to ensure delivery of projects within proposed requirements.
• Identifies and establishes improvement programs through  root cause analysis (i.e., repair instructions, proper sequencing, inspection criteria, gauges, fixtures, machines, etc.), analysis of turn times, work in process, non-conformance tags (NCTS), material review board (MRBs), process interruptions, other line stoppages, warranty failure modes, field reliability of repairs, investigation of repair related field problems, line build problems, and subcontractor's repair performance.
• Develops repairs (non-standard in conjunction with OEM, in-house engineers, and outside services as required). Refines existing repair schemes to eliminate the frequent need for in-process rejects and MRBs.
• Owns, generates, maintains, and updates process instructions; prepares production routings and detailed repair instructions based on approved data.
• Provides support and consultation services to business unit personnel and to the repair development facilities wit regard to the development and implementation of new repairs and processes or repair development projects.
• Originates, revises & interprets technical drawings.
• Responsible for observing all applicable safety requirements and reporting immediately any unsafe practices or conditions.
• Carry out special duties as assigned.

Electrical engineers will design, develop, test, certify, deploy and improve cutting edge products and services. These cover a very wide range from advanced mission payloads and electronic systems through highly integrated aircraft to orbital and space exploration systems. You'll conceptualize and design new products and processes throughout the product lifecycle from analog and digital electronic circuit card assemblies to fully integrated systems. 

• Design, develop, and implement testing methods and equipment
• Troubleshoot and support RF and digital hardware
• Support First Time Through Test Yield (FTTTY) and hardware deliveries
• Analyze test data and identify early trends
• Compile data and define changes required in testing equipment, testing procedures, manufacturing processes, or new testing requirements
• Collaborate with design engineering to develop and implement hardware improvements and solutions
• Support technicians through troubleshooting and training
• Monitor product yields and aggressively work to maintain program yield targets
• Support program meetings in developing root cause and corrective actions
• Attend program meetings to report yield issues, yield detractor investigation finding, and corrective actions
• Interface with manufacturing management, test technicians, production engineers, design engineers, system engineers, program management and program support teams
• The successful candidate will have a working knowledge of RF theory and power concepts, and a working knowledge of digital circuit design.
• They will have analytical skills to review requirements, test plans, and test scenarios; and the ability to effectively communicate across teams.
• They should be self-directed, organized, team oriented and have previous experience with MS Office tools.
• A DoD Secret level security clearance is required for this position.
