Summary:

The Mechanical Engineering team at Aristotle Metal Works, or AMW, handles all products from conceptual design through production. Members of this team are responsible for machine design and testing as well as assisting all production manufacturing processes. Machine design responsibilities revolve around creating manufacturable solutions and demonstrating that those solutions fulfill the assigned design criteria. Manufacturing process responsibilities involve the continuous planning and implementation of process improvements, and designing various tooling and fixtures to increase the quality and reproducibility of goods produced. The team operates as a single entity, so members are expected to work well together and respect the standards put in place by AMW.

A Mechanical Engineer-II, or ME-2, at AMW is expected to perform without oversight or assistance. Candidates for this position must successfully demonstrate qualifications that mimic the key performance indicators required for an ME-1 at AMW to become an ME-2. Initially, an ME-2 will choose to focus on either the design or manufacturing role, with the option to add the other later.

Responsibilities:

Design Focus

• Translate design inputs into functional concepts, prototypes, and product solutions.
• Create and review 3D CAD models of concepts, prototypes, and products using SolidWorks, to AMW standards.
• Perform finite element analyses on concepts, prototypes, and products.
• Set up and run computational fluid dynamics simulations.
• Create and review manufacturing drawings for models created at AMW, to AMW standards.
• Create and review bills of materials for design projects.
• Research various standards, listings, and certifications to ensure product compliance.
• Create product specifications and vet vendors.
• Conduct validation testing on concepts, prototypes, and products designed at AMW.
• Create and review build instructions, operating manuals, and other supporting documentation for products designed at AMW.
• Perform DFMEA on proposed product solutions.

Manufacturing Focus

• Create and review manufacturing support materials for models and drawings supplied by customers, to AMW standards.
• Determine equipment and material needs for manufacturing, set up manufacturing processes, and enter parts and assemblies into the Enterprise Resource Planning [ERP] system.
• Oversee the manufacture of prototypes and assist with first article processes.
• Create tooling and fixtures, including any supporting documentation required for manufacture, for various manufacturing processes to improve productivity while increasing safety and quality.
• Create work instructions for manufacturing processes throughout the facility.
• Perform process studies and analyze the resulting data to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Collaborate with Quality to implement corrective actions.
• Perform PFMEA on proposed manufacturing process changes.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
• Working knowledge of electromagnetic radiation emission
• Knowledge of ISO 9001 regulations and maintaining certification
• Strong communication skills and a respectful attitude
• The following will be verified by test (to mimic ME-2 KPI Qualifications):
• Experience creating 3D CAD models used for manufacturing parts on programmable machinery (SolidWorks provided)
• Experience creating drawings for parts and assemblies in accordance with provided standards (AMW standards provided)
• Ability to set up FEA to produce accurate and precise results.
• Ability to set up CFD simulations to produce accurate and precise results.
• Knowledge of the capabilities and limitations of all equipment used for manufacturing in the facility.

Compensation:

• Compensation is competitive and will be based on the candidate's skills, experience, and qualifications.

Benefits

• Monthly Benefit Allowance awarded to all employees.
• Comprehensive Benefits Package
• 401(k) Match – 100% up to 5% match / fully vested immediately.
