• Support operation of GSE engineering products or systems by supporting engineering staff in the analysis, investigation, and resolution of engineering problems of moderate scope and complexity.
• Conceptualize and develop GSE product designs to meet a stipulated set of requirements, utilizing 3D CAD systems such as Siemens NX and/or Creo Parametric as required.
• Structurally analyze GSE products, utilizing finite element analysis methods in the preferred CAD system Ansys, to ensure fitness for the required design loads.
• Perform detail design and analysis functions such as:  load derivation, tolerance analysis, tipping analysis, buckling analysis, connection design (fasteners, pins, welds), galvanic compatibility analysis, etc.
• Generate (in whole or in part) formal engineering documentation (drawings, memos, specifications, test procedures, trade studies, reports, engineering change packages, etc.) in accordance with the AS9100-compliant Mechanical Engineering Design Controls process, relevant Engineering Work Instructions, and/or program direction as required.
• Understand core Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) principles and utilize on drawings when it most effectively captures design intent for practical manufacture and inspection.
• Develop and maintain mechanical engineering project planning artifacts (task lists, engineering labor estimates, Gantt charts, etc.) and periodically report progress and issues.
• May direct the activities of designers/drafters and the activities of less experienced professional staff.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Quality, Safety and Flight Operations Facilities representatives on design/documentation of parts/assys/equipment.
• Support Manufacturing, Test & Quality groups regarding questions/issues related to the engineer’s part/assy throughout the manufacturing, test and acceptance processes.
• Support customer milestone events related to delivered GSE products/systems, including but not limited to:  fit checks, logistical demonstrations, and trans-mobility testing.
• Support the development and approval of operational procedures, maintenance manuals, and associated reports generated by the Product Support Engineering (PSE) group for use by the customer. Generate and document intended operational characteristics and procedures for GSE usage and disseminate to other functional engineering groups through the use of engineering memos, interface control drawings, detailed design specifications, etc.
• Troubleshoot, analyze, and recommend methods of rework/repair of GSE products/systems by utilizing sound engineering and scientific principles.
• Support design reviews and source inspections for GSE products custom-designed to GA-ASI specifications by a subcontractor at their location (occasional short-duration travel may be required).
• Generate requirements and recommendations on the acquisition and use of equipment, systems, or other capital expenditures.
• Occasionally travel to GA-ASI’s flight operations facilities in Gray Butte, Adelanto & El Mirage (high desert in CA) or Yuma, AZ or other locations as required to support product development/testing.

• Maintain the strict confidentiality of sensitive information.
• Observe and follow all laws, regulations, and other applicable obligations wherever and whenever business is conducted on behalf of the Company.
• Work in a safe manner in accordance with established operating procedures and practices.
• Define individual accountability and milestones to meet project objectives.
• Conduct oneself in a courteous, respectful, and professional manner at all times.
• Perform all other duties as assigned.

• Typically requires a bachelors or masters degree in engineering or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution and two or more years of engineering experience with a bachelors degree. May substitute equivalent engineering experience in lieu of education.
• Must have a general understanding of engineering concepts, principles, and theory with technical experience demonstrating the application of those concepts while ensuring safety and regulatory compliance.
• Must possess the ability to understand new concepts quickly and apply them accurately throughout an evolving environment and organize work assignments to meet established timetables.
• Must have good communication, computer, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills, as well as the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
• Must be able to work extended hours as required.
• An EIT (Engineer in Training) certificate is desirable.
• An active Department of Defense clearance, or willingness to obtain one, is desirable.
• Ability to obtain and maintain DoD security clearance is required.
