Mechanical Engineer at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, PA
The Mechanical Systems Department under the Vehicles and Unmanned Systems Division within the Undersea Systems Office (USO) of the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Penn State University is seeking motivated and talented engineers whose primary tasking will be to design, analyze, build, and test hardware for undersea applications. Candidates must be able to demonstrate proficient and comprehensive knowledge of the principles and best practices of mechanical design. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Analyze requirements, identify problems, and develop innovative solution concepts Design structures, mechanisms, actuation systems, and bearing systems Work with drafting to create and approve drawings Develop assembly and test procedures Work with technicians to perform assembly and testing of systems and sub systems Support field testing Plan and perform technical tasks of a larger scope and lead specific tasks within the project scope Manage projects of small or moderate size and scope; plan, , conduct, or coordinate detailed phases of the work Mentor less experienced staff in the development of technical and project skills This job will be filled as a level 3, or level 4, depending upon the successful candidate's competencies, education, and experience. Minimally requires a Bachelor's degree in an Engineering or Science discipline plus five years' related experience for a level 3. Additional experience and/or education and competencies are required for higher level positions. A degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering is preferred. Additional responsibilities of a level 4 include:
Independently manage multiple and/or large Mechanical Systems projects Mentor and train assigned employees in the development of technical, project, and and business development skills Requirements include:
Design of complex machined components and subsystems 3D CAD design and engineering drawing development (Siemens NX preferred) Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T ANSI Y14.5) Proficiency in completing free body diagrams; using hand calculations to calculate forces and resultant stresses on structures Packaging of complex electromechanical assemblies Development of test plans and procedures Effective verbal and written communication and presentation skills Preferred experience includes:
Structural or thermal finite element analysis ARL at Penn State is an integral part of one of the leading research universities in the nation and serves as a University center of excellence in defense science, systems, and technologies with a focus in naval missions and related areas. Candidate selected will be subject to a government security investigation. An active security clearance is highly desired. You must be a U.S. Citizen to . Employment with ARL will require successful completion of a background check and a pre-employment drug screen. ARL is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion; we believe this is central to our success as a Department of Defense designated University Affiliated Research Center (UARC). We are at our best when we draw on the talents of all parts of society, and our greatest accomplishments are achieved when diverse perspectives are part of our workforce.
