NOMAD GCS DOES NOT SUPPORT THE H1B VISA FOR THIS POSITION.

Position: Mechanical Design Engineer

Division: Innovative Solutions Group

Department: Innovative Solutions Group

Schedule : Full-Time - Exempt

Reports To: Directly to Chief Innovative Strategist; indirectly to Mechanical Design Engineer Lead

Overview: Nomad Global Communication Solutions is a leading provider of communication and response products, serving a variety of customers. Our purpose is to be the solution when every minute matters and we are seeking an internal candidate for a Mechanical Design Engineer position.

The Mechanical Design Engineer’s (MDE) work is a critical stage in the Engineering process. They are responsible for taking designs from concept through production by creating parts and assemblies and compiling them into complete Production-ready 3D models and 2D drawings. Accuracy and completeness must be maintained through all levels of design in order to provide complete part and assembly Bill of Materials (BOMs) for Purchasing and 2D drawings for the Production teams. All steps within the MDE’s construction must meet or exceed Nomad Global Communication Solutions’ standards of excellence.

This position will work with the Innovative Solutions Group (ISG). The ISG Department is Nomad’s R&D arm that works to standardize, create a roadmap for, and develop more efficient ways of manufacturing Nomad’s products. Individuals who are self-starters will excel within ISG.

Essential Functions/Responsibility:

• Create standard designs, 3D models, layouts, and/or schematics for Nomad’s specialty vehicle products incorporating modularity and scalability based on internal and external customer feedback, specifications, and industry and mechanical design and manufacturing best practices. This will include top levels assemblies, sub-assemblies, and parts as needed:

• All assigned properties for use within analyses.

• Complete and accurate BOMs.

• Accurate and manufacturing-ready drawings, and design with optimized cost, strength and manufacturability.

• Communication with Electrical Engineers (EEs) to identify and resolve differences between electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, and client requirements.

• Use FEA to analyze parts, perform stress calculations, create tests to verify results, document analysis, and change parts as needed to optimize the design.

• Research, read, and understand outside standards such as MIL-SPEC, RVIA code, SAE, etc.

• Create, implement, supervise, and document tests verifying designs meet Nomad’s internal requirements.

• Complete all analyses, documentation, and drawings required for Production within established timeframes.

• Ensure that the correct documents are available to the correct teams in the company.

• Communicate and collaborate with Engineering Technician(s), Engineers, Project Managers, Production Leads, Technicians, and others to identify and implement improvement opportunities at the project level, as well as a company level.

• Communicate with vendors and clients to troubleshoot designs, get information on new designs, and obtain specifications/drawings/models of components.

• Analyze proposed product revisions and communicate their assessment of the proposed Change Orders:

• Affect upon the Project’s original design parameters.

• Affect upon the Project’s timeline and budget.

• Estimated engineering time for completion of the change.

• Feasibility given the Project’s parameters as well as other Project demands upon Engineering.

• Propagate any downstream revisions to analyses, documentation, and drawings in a timely manner.

• Learn to use nesting software to create nest files for cutting parts on CNC equipment.

• Knowledge of and familiarity with the operation of tooling used throughout Production (including CNC equipment) to manufacture Nomad products to aid in product and assembly design optimization (for tooling).

• Assist in streamlining engineering and production design and manufacturing processes.

• Track and record work hours for each specific project on a daily basis.

• Be willing to travel as needed by Management.

• Help build, revise, and test physical prototypes of standard modules prior to rollout to Operations.

• Understand the significance of the Nomad Core Values and display a demonstrated willingness to apply them.

• Complete other duties as assigned by Management.

  Basic Knowledge Desired:

• Practical application of engineering science and technology, including applying principles, techniques, procedures, and equipment to the design and production of various goods and services.

• Knowledge gained from experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD) and/or SolidWorks.

• Knowledge raw material, production processes (welding, machining, grinding/cutting), quality control, costs, and other techniques for maximizing the effective manufacture and distribution of goods.

• Knowledge and prediction of physical principles, laws, their interrelationships, and applications to understanding fluid, material, and atmospheric dynamics, and mechanical, electrical, electromagnetic, atomic and sub-atomic structures and processes.

• Must be comfortable using and knowledgeable about Microsoft Office.

  Physical Demands:

• While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to use hands and arms to finger, handle, feel, reach, or operate objects, tools, or controls.

• The employee is frequently required to stand, walk, climb, balance, stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl, talk, hear, and is occasionally required to sit.

• The employee may occasionally lift and/or carry up to 25 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds. Anything heavier than 50 pounds will require two people to lift / carry.

• Specific vision abilities required by this job including close vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to distinguish individual colors.

  Working Environment:

• The work environment is a partially environmentally controlled indoor environment. Depending upon the time of year, temperatures can fluctuate between 60F and 100F but is typically around 70F. There are times when working outside will be required.

• The employee may be subjected to noise levels, ranging from low volume to loud and will be required to wear provided safety hearing devices from time to time.

• The employee will be exposed to a variety of household/commercial chemicals that will require the employee to follow company rules/regulations outlined by MSDS.

• All Team Members must wear OSHA-approved safety glasses and closed-toed shoes at all times on the production floor.

  Qualifications & Experience:

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering or Engineering Technology from an ABET accredited program.

• Minimum 2 years of verifiable work history as a Mechanical Engineer in a manufacturing environment.

• Experience with SolidWorks modeling, drawings, and file management.

• An equivalent combination of education and experience which provides proficiency in the areas of responsibility listed may be substituted for the above requirements.
