Mechanical System Design & Analysis Engineer 1\2
This is an engineering position (entry level to a few years experience) at the Boeing C-17 Long Beach, CA facility. Primary assignment will be working closely with engineers in the application of engineering principles to the C-17's Aircraft Systems, including Environmental, Pneumatic, Fuel, Mechanical Control, Landing Gear, Hydraulic, Fire Protection, Fuel Tank Inerting, and Oxygen in support of production and in-service aircraft and system design integrity. Areas of engineering support will include component and system requirements and design, troubleshooting / root cause analysis, and corrective action formulation to resolve production and in-service problems with the system and/or components.
The selected candidate will perform as a team member of the Mechanical & Fluid Systems organization and will require a close working relationship with C-17 customers, teaming partners, other engineers, field service representatives, production personnel, suppliers and subcontractors. Activities will be performed per organization and program standards and procedures, under the supervision of experienced engineers and management, but with relative freedom to learn and innovate.
The selected candidate will be tasked to develop solutions to technical problems of limited scope and impact; and to apply basic engineering and scientific principles. The selected candidate may be tasked to research, analyze, and verify product designs for adequacy, conformance and compliance to published requirements, and document results. Candidate will interface with other members of project and program teams, management and technical staff. This challenging engineering position is primarily organized to expose the successful candidate to the work structure of the Air Vehicle - Systems organization and its responsibilities to the C-17 program.
A successful candidate will possess technical and engineering skills developed and learned while attaining a Bachelor of Science degree in an engineering discipline (BSME preferred) and the ability to analyze and develop solutions to technical problems while assisting more experienced engineers. Excellent communication skills (written and verbal) and the ability to work in a team oriented environment and interact professionally with Customer, supplier, field and production representatives is a must. The candidate is expected to be dependable, innovative, and possess good problem solving skills (previous project management skills is a plus). The candidate should have demonstrated ""hands on"" capabilities in class projects and/or previous work experience or hobbies. The candidate should have demonstrated through past experience, his or her capability to work independently and possess perseverance to be able to eliminate roadblocks, to ""find a way.""
Competencies
General• Communication
Makes an effort to clarify purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Tries to keep the audience engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. With guidance from others frames messages in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; tries to use terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Occasionally seeks input from audience; checks understanding; tries to present message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used. Interprets messages from others and responds appropriately; at times requires guidance from others on how to respond.
• Decision Making
Generally recognizes routine issues, problems, or opportunities in own work area and determines whether action is needed; generally identifies the need for and collects information to better understand issues, problems, and opportunities; tries to integrate information from different sources; detects trends, associations, and cause-effect relationships; generally creates relevant options for addressing problems/opportunities and achieving desired outcomes; develops an understanding of decision criteria; evaluates options by considering implications and consequences; chooses an effective option; generally implements decisions or initiates action within a reasonable time; gains experience in including fellow work group members in the decision-making process as warranted to obtain good information, makes appropriate decisions, and ensures buy-in and understanding of the resulting decisions.
• Initiating Action
Seeks advice from direct supervisor when confronted with a non-routine problem or when made aware of a situation in own work area. Occasionally assists in implementing new ideas or potential solutions without prompting; does not wait for others to take action or to request action. Volunteers to take action that goes beyond job requirements in order to achieve work group objectives.
• Innovation
Seeks alternative ways to view or define problems. Tries to combine ideas in unique ways or makes connections between disparate ideas; explores different lines of thought; views situations from multiple perspectives; participates in brainstorming approaches/solutions. Focuses on areas for innovation and suggests solutions that address meaningful issues in own work area.
• Systems Thinking
Gains understanding of job tasks and processes and how they contribute to meeting work group objective(s). Identifies non-value-adding tasks and alerts more experienced employees for possible improvements. Participates in changes to job/role structures and processes as directed by supervisor.
Technical• Analysis and Corrective Action
Basic - Basic knowledge of root cause analysis and corrective action of non-conformances to reduce scrap, minimize rework, reduce cost and improve quality to meet all requirements. Knowledge of the process for producing product definition data including emergent design changes.
Preferred - General knowledge of root cause analysis and corrective action of non-conformances to reduce scrap, minimize rework, reduce cost and improve quality to meet all requirements. Develops, reviews and approves product definition data including emergent design changes.
