mooresville, United States MSI Defense Solutions Full time

Scope of Work

MSI Defense Solutions is actively seeking a Design Engineer, with preferred experience in the automotive field to join a dynamic and growing engineering team at our facilities located in Mooresville, NC. As a member of the Engineering Team, the selected candidate will develop system level designs using their knowledge from previous roles in one or more of the following disciplines (automotive, motorsports, ground-based defense vehicles or similar industries) to develop products in a dynamic and collaborative team environment. While reporting to the Chief Design Engineer, the selected candidate will work with Project Managers and Senior Design Engineers to execute project design requirements to produce the best possible solution for the customer.


The Design Engineer’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to; review project design requirements, provide input for potential additional requirements, develop, and execute the design of ideas for the product, review and justify designs during preliminary and critical project design reviews. The Design Engineer will create CAD models using MSI’s parametric skeleton strategy, fully defining bill of materials of the system. The Design Engineer will also manage the development of the drawing package used to convey the system requirement to the production team. The Design Engineer will ensure designs meet the goals and requirements outlined for the project and will report the design’s status to the Project Manager to ensure it remains in line with the master project schedule. The Design Engineer will work with the Engineering Team to continuously promote professional self-growth and design knowledge.


Responsibilities

  • Must demonstrate understanding of the function and purpose of vehicle sub-systems including, but not limited to chassis, suspension, drive train, brakes, exterior and interior systems, payload capacity, electrical, HVAC, fluid cooling systems. General hands-on experience with automotive or vehicle systems is a plus.
  • Develop and manage vehicle components and assemblies in CAD. Use experience/knowledge to generate new design ideas. Work with Project Managers to provide continual schedule updates towards the progress of the overall project.  MSI’s design goals are to develop superior products by utilizing sound engineering principles and creative thinking. Our manufacturing goals are to minimize lead time and cost while building a high-quality component. The Design Engineer shall have experience with the application of GD&T techniques and ASME Y14.5 practices.
  • Modeling at MSI is performed using PTC Creo 7.0.  MSI has proven itself to be a leader with an “unmatched speed to market” approach by utilizing skeleton top-down parametric modeling. The Design Engineer shall understand the relationships that are built throughout the model using “external copy geometry” through assembly skeletons. A Senior Design Engineer will provide guidance of the model tree’s parent and child structure relationships for each project. Design Engineers execute the design structure in the CAD system throughout the products developmental lifecycle process.
  • The Design Engineer will perform structural FEA or mathematical analyses of a design within their capabilities. Experience with Ansys software is a plus. When necessary, the Design Engineer will work with outside FEA partners to manage and support the analysis effort by providing necessary information to these outside partners so they can provide MSI with a complete and through analysis summary that either confirms or directs modification of the design(s). The Design Engineer will also provide guidance to the Project Manager on when FEA should be used to validate a design. This will allow the Project Manager to plan and budget for the requested resources.    
  • The Design Engineer will work with the production team and vendor base to produce the prototypes. The Design Engineer will be expected to support manufacturing in the development of the prototypes to ensure that the required changes for manufacturing are reported and implemented back to the CAD system. The Design Engineer is required to have a strong understanding of standard prototyping manufacturing methods.
  • Contribute to developing and maintaining thorough and complete BOM’s and production of accurate drawings for use in manufacturing processes and configuration management. Produce reports detailing analysis and design changes when necessary.
  • Be able to develop a clear understanding of MSI’s ERP system and how the other departments of the company function throughout the product life cycle.



Skills Required

  • Minimum 5 years in appropriate automotive, motorsports or defense vehicle related field
  • Experience with sheet metal, weldments, and machined parts is a plus
  • Minimum 3 years as high-level CAD user (CREO Preferred)
  • Minimum of 1 years of PDM experience (Windchill Preferred)
  • Experience in FEA (Ansys) is a plus
