Responsible for end-to-end ownership of system integration for the Wright electric drive train and propulsion system. Perform system-level thermal analysis and collaborate cross-functionally to define project requirements and clearly communicate limitations. Use first principles for feasibility and initial scoping. Develop mechanical and electrical integration approach for the Integrated Electric Propulsion System (IEPS). Drive component requirements, design selection and test plans including the propulsion drive stand. Perform design optimization and early performance evaluation. Develop and execute product validation. Drive mechanical reliability and testing requirements (bench-top and in-vehicle). Define control system requirements to manage mechanical stress and dynamics factors.
Requirements: Bachelor degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering or related and typically 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. PhD, Master+3 years' related work experience). Academic background, internship or work experience to include: Mechanical design and analysis tools; CAD (Catia or SolidWorks); Design of Experiments; Numerical analysis; Reliability testing of mechanical components; Programming in MATLAB; and stress evaluation and testing. Successful completion of reference and background checks is required.
Requirements for this position include:
- Minimum 5 years of professional experience
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Aircraft Propulsion Engineering is required; Master of Science is preferred
- Must be proficient in SolidWorks
- Familiar with thermal analysis tools (eg. Thermal desktop).
- Familiar performing propulsion system testing
- Propulsion system design and analysis experience are required; preference for Design and Analysis focused on electronics industry components, or at the system-level
- Should be knowledgeable of common manufacturing practices and processes
- Should be familiar with propulsion drive stand development and testing
- Should be familiar with the full product-life cycle and be able to independently work toward project goals and deadlines
- Will work directly with Sr. Engineers on assigned projects and coordinate with production leaders
- Will contribute to government proposals for NASA, ARPA-e and other government agencies
- Contribute to QA / QC
- Full-time, permanent, direct-hire position.
This position requires the ability to obtain access to National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of Defense (DoD) and other government facilities. Access to the facilities requires a background investigation by the U.S. Government.
This is an urgent need and we will be able to interview and hire during COVID-19.
Relocation:
This position is located in Albany, NY. Preference will be given to applicants in the Albany area or willing to relocate. Due to COVID-19, Wright will consider remote work for the present time.
