Mechanical Designer (2) Open Positions Hourly rates $60-$75 per hour Contract 6 months 40 hours weekly onsite 100% You must be a US Citizen QUALIFICATIONS: · 15-20 years of relevant professional experience is preferred · Experience with instrumentation and support systems for large scale scientific instrumentation is preferred · Advanced knowledge of the following Solidworks: o Standard toolset o Sheet metal toolset o Simulation toolset o Topology optimization toolset o Weldment toolset o DimXpert toolset o Drawing toolset · Training certification for ASME ANSI Y14.5-2009 · Demonstrated ability to self-manage design and documentation delivery against project need-by dates. · Working knowledge of MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint · Ability to troubleshoot DUTIES: Provides technical expertise in the design and preparation of drawings for mechanical, electro-mechanical, and electrical components and assemblies for unique and/or experimental science instruments that are at, or intended to extend, state of the art. This would include the preparation of original layouts, computations, and engineering documentation for varied design features of mechanical and opto-mechanical assemblies, sub-assemblies and component parts of scientific instruments. Translates concepts provided by engineers and/or project scientists into functional designs resulting in associated layout and detail drawings. Conceptual inputs will be in the form of rough sketches, design studies, verbal descriptions, and computer-generated models. Selects effective methods and procedures, adapts available designs and/or develops new designs according to the requirements of each assignment. Interprets and employs conventional engineering principles, practices, guidelines, and precedents in considering design requirements including contamination, structural integrity, corrosion resistance, ground environments, coefficients of thermal expansion, machinability, weldability, formability, etc. as applicable to the design of scientific equipment and components. Performs calculations, studies, and analyses to support designs such as geometric and dimensional tolerance studies, trigonometric calculations, mass property calculations and potential manufacturing, and assembly techniques. Provides engineering staff with calculation results-in either written or tabular form-such as mass properties data derived from computer generated models and tolerance studies Notes: Melinda does NOT want ANY past Submissions sent again Use Mike Nackel, last hired as a benchmark Not his Electro Optic ExperiencesParking will cost $192 per month. This is paid via check or cash.
