Tooling Engineers are the subject matter experts who design innovative fixturing, gages, assembly jigs, material handling devices, lifting fixtures, manufacturing aids, and machine design solutions. The use of these items provides a consistent, safe, ergonomic means to assemble, inspect, handle, and transport production hardware. Tool Engineers use computer aided design to generate 3-dimensional models and technical drawing packages. Tool Engineers are responsible for all aspects of design, documentation, procurement and integration of assembly Tooling into a highly complex manufacturing environment. Tool Engineers oversee projects from concept to implementation and strive to incorporate safe, ergonomic, error-proofed, and innovative solutions into the factory.The qualified candidate will provide mechanical engineering support for the McKinney Consolidated Manufacturing Center.  The supported products are electro-mechanical/electro-optical systems with primary focus on the design of Special Tooling to facilitate assembly and secondarily to support Test Equipment for the systems.  The tooling engineer will be responsible for new tooling product designs and implementation into the factory as well as improvements to existing tools.  The candidate will utilize their mechanical engineering expertise during design, development, and integration to create solutions that meet tool product requirements and incorporate robust design principles.  The candidate will provide leadership on designing, procuring and implementing special tools while collaborating with the factory support team to provide a complete build solution to the factory customer.What You Will DoDevelop complex 3-dimensional mechanical tooling solutions using CREOCapture and communicate tooling concepts with manufacturing and factory teams.Identify opportunities for improvement within our factories.Represent manufacturing as a mechanical engineering resource to support a variety of factory initiatives.Promote standardized fixturing concepts across programs to support a multi-product factory environment.Interpret and read mechanical engineering drawings including the usage of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.Provide stress analysis models and documents on below the hook lifting devices.Establish designs with significant consideration given to good error-proofing techniques.Integrate COTS components to increase design usability and cost effectiveness.Adjust designs as necessary to meet stakeholder needs.Optimize designs through proper selection of raw materials and finishes.Troubleshoot, diagnose and analyze design flaws and production issues.Assimilate details and requirements, and brainstorm potential tooling solutions.Follow and Support established guidelines regarding drawing layouts and release procedures.Qualifications You Must Have Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Technology and Aerospace Engineering or related fieldTwo (2) years of related experienceExperience with CAD modelingExperience with drawing interpretationThe ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance.
