Mechanical Systems Design & Analysis Engineer 3/4

This ECS/Thermal Systems Design position is required in support of a contract awarded to Boeing, Dallas, Texas. The program is an advanced technologies program that will design, manufacture, integrate, test, and deliver, both hardware and software. Establishes and documents environmental/thermal engineering and system level design requirements (e.g. performance, environment, functionality, life, envelope, integration). Evaluates requirements for completeness and feasibility. Performs and documents analyses of environmental/thermal components and systems using models and tools to validate or assess the design. Analyses include performance, root cause, sensitivity, thermal and icing. Prepares technical documents for systems to facilitate knowledge retention for future use per applicable requirements. Tasks include: test reports, analyses, presentations, design decision memoranda, lessons learned, design data documents. Develops and executes plans and procedures to verify and validate that environmental, icing protection, and thermal control systems and technologies were designed, built and operate in accordance with requirements, by analysis and/or test to support certification and compliance with regulations and internal/external requirements and document results. Defines verification approach to a wide range of complex systems and components. Investigates emerging technologies to develop concepts for future product designs to meet projected requirements. Works under general 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. Places higher priority on team and/or organization goals than on own goals. Offers to provide help and/or leadership to other teams and/or employees and occasionally external customers when they need assistance.

Customer Focus
Makes customers and their needs a primary focus of one's actions; develops and sustains productive customer relationships; uses information to understand customers' circumstances, problems, expectations, and needs; periodically becomes involved in sharing information with customers to build their understanding of issues and capabilities; considers how actions or plans will affect customers; responds quickly to meet customer needs and resolve problems; assists higher graded employees and/or project team leaders in implementing ways to monitor and evaluate customer concerns, issues, and satisfaction and to anticipate customer needs.

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.
