## Description

As a Design Engineer, you'll be responsible for the creation of design definitions that meet system requirements and product attributes for new product designs. You'll exhibit technical knowledge in design with an understanding of manufacturing engineering and product definition. In this role, you'll review design definition concepts, complete design reviews, and work with Manufacturing and Supply Chain to deliver products.
What you'll be doing:
This role aims to introduce you to the New Product Design team and the other sub-capabilities within Mechanical Systems. You'll help us to deliver our current commitments which largely focus on improving access to our specialist knowledge, including methods, tools, processes, and technical data. There will be opportunities to work hands-on and participate in the Design Gated Review process. You'll also have exposure to several design and engineering analysis software tools related to component development and mechanical integrity.
You'll have experience with Statics, Dynamics and Mechanics of Materials and the ability to exhibit the following behaviors:

 + Delivering design solutions for components that address component requirements
 + Performing engineering activities that include the following: mechanical design, analysis, hand calculations, tolerance stacks, presenting technical data and participating in technical discussions with manufacturing engineering and suppliers
 + Executing validation plans and showing component compliance to requirements
 + Supporting the creation of detailed component definition (drawings) and supporting manufacturing to produce conforming hardware and/or disposition non-conforming hardware
