Mechanical Engineer

Apogee has an exciting new opportunity for a Mechanical Engineer to support Government aircraft programs by providing technical expertise in the design development integration and analysis of military aircraft mechanical systems including hydraulic/pneumatic systems flight controls mass properties and structural systems. This role participates across the full lifecycle from trade studies and design reviews through certification support testing and sustainment while contributing to airworthiness processes and integrity programs.

• Provide technical leadership and guidance to solve complex engineering problems involving aircraft hydraulic/pneumatic/mechanical systems flight controls mass properties and structures.
• Perform across all phases of hardware design development integration/implementation and analysis.
• Conduct feasibility studies and tradeoff analyses for design improvements and advanced technology insertion.
• Support airworthiness activities including development or tailoring of certification criteria (e.g. TACC/MACC) and participation in configuration governance.
• Support investigations quality evaluations deficiency reports and field/depot assistance requests.
• Participate in program events and reviews including TIMs PDRs CDRs PCAs FCAs FATs and CCB/AW activities.
• Develop structural and corrosion repairs; contribute to corrosion prevention and control efforts.
• Analyze program progress identify issues recommend solutions and evaluate results.
• Support acquisition and sustainment processes and integrity programs including OSS&E MECSIP AVIP ASIP and Corrosion Prevention & Control.
• Support test planning/execution and review of associated documentation.
  Coordinate with IPTs (radar communications logistics integration/test) to ensure aircraft subsystems meet requirements.
• Assist with DMSMS management activities as required.
