Machine Design - Senior Engineer
Amentum Technology Group is a performance unit of our Critical Mission Solutions (CMS) Line of Business. The Amentum Technology Group specializes in the design, construction, and operation of unique and complex research and development facilities, including, as examples, wind tunnels (aerospace, automotive, and motorsports), rocket test stands, climatic chambers, jet engine test cells, acoustic chambers, altitude test facilities, captive trajectory systems, and nuclear facilities. Our projects span the automotive, motorsports, defense, nuclear, and aerospace markets. Recent clients include Audi, Boeing, BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, Honda, General Motors, NASA, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Department of Energy, Volkswagen, and many others in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Most of your designs will be unique, and you will usually be working on several projects at one time in a dynamic, challenging, and even fun environment. Many designs are "blank sheet of paper," with few analogs or comparisons. This position will provide you with an exciting opportunity to lead and manage Machine Design projects as part of a multi-discipline team of professionals. We are looking for a Machine Design engineer who will work to ensure client satisfaction and deliver key Machine Design projects within scope, budget, and schedule. You should be a self-motivated professional with at least 15+ years of progressive Machine Design experience.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Projects are often complex and multi-discipline, and Senior Engineers in E&P have ownership of the technical, schedule, and budget performance of the work assigned to them, and are expected to operate with general instructions in an independent mode. The Senior Engineer:
Minimum Experience/Education:
B.S.M.E. from an accredited engineering school
Minimum of twenty (20) years' relevant and progressive Machine Design experience (see "Adjacent Industries" below)
Demonstrated experience leading other engineers and designer/drafters
Key Skills:
Design for small-scale fabrication & manufacturing (milling, turning, welding, laser-cutting, forming, etc.)
Design for assembly & installation
Demonstrated knowledge and experience of common machine design elements: gears, bearings, belts, machine screws, chains, cams, linkages, gearmotors, servomotors, etc.
Strong mechanical engineering analytical skills - kinematics, dynamics, stress/strain, power transmission, etc.
FEA - static stress-strain, natural frequency
Demonstrated experience and expertise in employing GD&T/ASTM Y14.5 in detailed design drawings; understanding of tolerance, fits, and stack-up analysis
Scope/Schedule/Budget management
Ability to successfully lead single discipline projects and teams of 3-10 people
Understanding of business development and capture of new work
Preferred Qualifications:
3D CAD experience, Inventor or Solidworks preferred
FEA - thermal, non-linear, forced mode dynamics and multi-physics analysis, Ansys preferred
Design experience with ASME B&PV Section VII, Div I & Div II
Fluid Power - employing pneumatic/hydraulic cylinders, valve stand design, P&IDs, etc.
Basic experience with machine instrumentation (proximity sensors, vision sensors, strain gauges, scales, etc.)
Installation Support and Supervision - guiding and answering suppliers, sub-contractors and other trades questions from the office and on-site
Design for fiber-composites manufacturing (fiberglass, carbon fiber)
Adjacent Industries
Aerospace & Defense Mechanical Design
Factory Automation (material handling, web handling, process automation, etc.)
