This Mechanical Systems Design position is required in support of a contract award to Boeing, Dallas, Texas. The program is an advanced technologies program that will design, manufacture, integrate, test, and deliver, both hardware and software. Provides oversight and direction to develop, integrate and document complex mechanical system requirements to establish the system design. Leads development, modification, and maintenance of mechanical/mechanism system and component designs, using 3-D Computer Aided Design tools and/or other design methods. Provides product definition to other engineering groups, production operations, suppliers and external customers throughout the product lifecycle. Familiarity with Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) and the requirements for demonstration of technical maturity preferred. Leads performance, integration and analysis of tests to validate and verify systems and components meet requirements and specifications. Prioritizes, delegates and tracks performance and documentation of analyses of mechanisms/components and systems selecting appropriate methods to validate or assess the design. Manages supplier development, test and production activities and coordinates with the supplier to optimize the design and achieve program goals. Develops new design/analysis processes and tools to improve the effectiveness, quality and efficiency of the development effort. Investigates emerging technologies to develop concepts for future product designs to meet projected requirements. Works under minimal direction.

Competencies



General


Collaboration
Works effectively and cooperatively with fellow employees, peers from other teams and/or parts of the organization and occasionally external customers; establishes and maintains good working relationships by actively involving others and helping them feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions.

Decision Making
Recognizes a wide range of potentially difficult issues, problems, or opportunities in own work group, across the organization and occasionally with external customers; determines whether action is needed. Identifies the need for and collects information to better understand difficult issues, problems, and opportunities. Integrates information from a wide variety of sources; detects trends, associations, and cause-effect relationships; creates relevant options for addressing difficult problems/opportunities and achieving desired outcomes. Formulates and/or makes recommendations for decision criteria based on issue complexity; evaluates options by considering implications and consequences; chooses an effective option. Implements decisions or initiates action within a reasonable time. Includes fellow work group members, employees across the organization, and occasionally external customers in the decision-making process as warranted to obtain good information, make the most appropriate decisions, and ensure buy-in and understanding of the resulting decisions.

Systems Thinking
Evaluates job tasks and processes on how well they help meet team objective(s); identifies non-value-adding components and barriers. Formulates change strategies; seeks input from others to evaluate options for change and encourage buy-in. Makes appropriate changes to job/role structures and processes by communicating effectively and focusing on new skill development. Uses accurate measurement systems to monitor the implementation.
