The Design Integrity team is looking for a Principal Specialist Design Integrity Checker.

This position will be onsite in Huntsville, Alabama.

What You Will Do

(Please note they are flexible for people with a mechanical engineering or electrical engineering background but must meet the must have qualifications for one)

Mechanical Design Checker:

• Perform design verification and validation of traditional Mechanical 2D Drawings as well as “Model-Based” Design TDPs.
• Ensure that mechanical design documentation and models consist of both complex and simple machined parts, castings, and other fabricated items.
• Ensure that mechanical design drawings, documentation, and associated electronic data output files used for production and / or procurement will undergo a comprehensive verification and validation review for design producibility and data integrity, quality, and consistency.
• Confirm that mechanical traditional and Model Based Designs are checked for form, fit, and function to program unique requirements while conforming to specific Company and Industry Specifications & Standards.
• Confirm that the synchronization of design representation (drawings) with the design database models from which they were derived, is authenticated.
• Overall, ensuring that the design verification and validation follows ASME Y14.41 and MIL-STD-31000 standards.
   

OR

Electrical Design Checker:

• Providing a formal, systematic, design verification and validation of traditional Electrical 2D TDPs.
