Mechanical Engineer III

This is a permanent full time role-must have strong Mechanical Engineering experience along with Thermal Analysis methods. Experience with Solidworks is preferred. Must be able to work hybrid a few days per week on site in the greater Middletown, Ct area.

Education and Experience

• BS degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field w/ 8+ years’ experience or MA/MS degree w/5-6+ years’ experience
• Experience with Solidworks Simulation & Solidworks Flow Simulation (CFD)
• Background in Structural Analysis & Thermal Analysis
• Experience using FEM for stress/deflection, vibration, and performing LCF, HCF, Fracture Mechanics or Kinematics analyses
• Experience with performing test-model correlation and test based characterization of critical modelling input parameters
• Proficient knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes
• Active user/experience with engineering software including SolidWorks®, AutoCAD® or equivalent

Duties:

• Provide analytical support for preliminary & detailed designs, through development, validation, certification, manufacturing and operational service
• Use FEA and classical methods for strength, stress/deflection, vibration, fatigue life, kinematic and optimization analyses to meet design requirements
• Use simulations and classical methods to predict temperatures, heat transfer, and fluid characteristics as needed to meet design requirements
• Perform test-model correlation testing to validate analytical predictions
• Work closely with environmental test engineers to support the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions
• Prepare technical reports to present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers
• Stay current with advancements in thermal analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards
• Create and document the Structural and Thermal analytical methods
• Provide oversight and technical guidance for less experienced engineers
• Collaborate with other departments such as Manufacturing Engineering, Test Engineering, Electrical Engineering and QA to be able to solve problems related to Engineering issues
