Jobs

• Mechanical and Conceptual Design- turning research ideas into technical models and plans using Solidworks

• Creating and maintaining 3D models and assemblies using Solidworks modelling software

• Designing structures to accurately represent the pilot-vehicle interface.

• Designing LED or lamp illuminated panels and bezels that is evenly illuminated, light balanced and that accurately replica the look of the real aircraft panel

• Designing LCD display backlight illumination assemblies that incorporates CFL, LEDs, NVIS LEDs, reflectors, light guides and turning films to meet customer’s brightness requirements

• Knowledge of engineering, fabrication, design and materials as it relates to aerospace and training products

• Performing FEA (finite element analysis) on critical design elements

• Analyzing FEA data and modifying the design to meet requires

• Communicating and implementing GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) into designs to ensure accuracy, reduce cost and improve overall quality

• Reverse engineering of real flight instruments

• Scanning OE devices and manipulating models to create replica designs

• Creating part and assembly documentation packages, as well as work instructions.

• Developing unique and novel design, product and systems approaches to support training requirements on the absence of customer’s specifications

• Developing complex electromechanical designs that accurately emulate aircraft instrument control mechanisms (grips, pedals, seats, engine controls)

• Collaborating in teams to solve unique design problems.

• Interfacing with customers to help define requirements for new simulated instruments and systems

• Researching and selecting mechanical components such as solenoids, dampers, and stepper motors.

• Researching and selecting electrical components such as LCDs, LEDs, encoders, switches, and potentiometers.

• Researching and selecting motion/servo-controlled components to support various simulator flight dynamics for controls and motion bases

• Researching and selecting visual systems solutions that includes: video generators, terrain

databases, monitors, projections systems and domes for out the window systems that tie into our training simulators.

• Designing training solutions that seamlessly integrates complex tactical/real aircraft/OEM equipment into our training simulators

• Interfacing directly with fabricators and vendors to come up with cutting-edge, cost-effective components.

• Supporting procurement in finding alternate mechanical and electrical components.

• Developing and testing prototypes of devices your design

• Overseeing the first article/first fit assembly of the device they design

• Performing ‘as built’ investigation and analysis on simulators, build to print packages and customer furnished models

• Researching and developing manufacturing and serviceability approaches for products and systems

• Providing customer technical support

• Managing design to cost targets

• Following SGB’s phase gated design project and managing projects to a timely completion
