Job Description

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.

Boeing Global Services (BGS) is currently seeking an Associate Mechanical Design Engineer to join the Mechanical Ground Support Equipment (GSE) engineering design team in Hazelwood, MO supporting Boeing Phantom Works and Air Dominance Military Programs.

This team is responsible for creating a wide range of products to support military aircraft maintenance activity and ground operations. Basic Ground Support Equipment product examples include aircraft slings, engine installation equipment, landing gear installation equipment, handling dollies, and a variety of subsystems component installation equipment. Additional GSE products include protective covers and remove before flight gear. Mechanical Ground Support Equipment Design is a niche within the aerospace industry that offers mechanical engineers countless opportunities to learn about and work with most aircraft systems without being tied to one specific area for years at a time. Candidates proficient and interested in pure mechanical device creation and development should apply.

The candidate selected for this position will mature existing design concepts into deliverable products and have opportunities to develop mechanical products from scratch. The work environment is an office setting, collocated with other mechanical design engineers. Occasional domestic travel to support fabrication, assembly and test of new products may be required.

Position Responsibilities P2

• Utilize NX and Teamcenter to mature existing conceptual mechanical equipment designs of simple to medium complexity into functional products.
• Provide input and recommendations for new 3-D engineering layouts, Develops 3-D models, designs / drawings and 2-D drawing changes for a wide variety of mechanical ground support equipment.
• Make engineering design recommendations based on analysis, loads, material properties, configurations, safety factors, etc.
• Support design maturation by selecting and incorporating common mechanical components (fasteners, springs, spring pins, dowel pins, casters, turnbuckles, bushings, screw jacks, etc.) into designs.
• Participate in informal peer design reviews.
• Develop and apply knowledge of materials, material compatibility and corrosion prevention to improve product designs.
• Understand and apply model-based dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) to new detail parts and assemblies in support of engineering package release.
• Evaluate supplier hardware non-conformances and material substitutions.
• Work under general supervision with advisement from more experienced engineers.
• Work with strength engineers to incorporate sizing updates (stiffness, deflection, stress, etc.) into cad models.
