The person in this position will be involved in electronics packaging design and production support for Airborne Radar Subsystems including AESA Antenna, Receiver, Exciter, Processor and Power Supply subsystems. Tasks will include mechanical engineering support throughout the hardware life cycle, including concept development, preliminary and detail design, selection of precision machining techniques, transition to production, production support and installation. Typical technologies include electronic enclosures, heat exchangers (coldwalls), machined components, RF microwave assemblies, and power converter units, often with challenging size, weight, power, and cost requirements. Early emphasis will be on production support of radar assembly and integration. This will include resolving production assembly issues on the lab floor, working with suppliers on manufacturing issues, documenting changes to the technical data package (TDP), and more. What You Will Do * Provide technical support on major airborne radar programs and interface with Lead Mechanical Engineers, Manufacturing Engineers and Chief Engineers to support design objectives. * Resolve issues with subsystems found during assembly and integration. Also resolve issues with suppliers making subsystem parts. * Update the technical data package (TDP) to document any needed changes discovered during issue resolution. Prepare documentation for Engineering Review Board (ERB) and Change Control Board (CCB). Make approved changes to TDP using Computer Aided Design tools * Process Supplier Change Request Notifications (SCRNs) to determine if changes requested by supplier do not alter design intent of parts being manufactured., Please ensure the role type defined below is appropriate for your needs before applying to this role. This position is classified as: * Onsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite.
