Job Summary:

Rheinmetall Mobility Engineers are focused on the movement of military vehicles and equipment. Effective and sustained vehicle mobility across varied terrain in the toughest environmental conditions is our number one consideration in vehicle development. Confidence in the safety, mobility and functionality of their vehicle allows soldiers and Marines to complete their mission duties and make it home safely.

Mobility subsystems include suspension (tracked or wheeled), engine, transmission, drivetrain, electrical generator, cooling system, exhaust, and air induction. A mobility engineer must use elements of their multi-domain engineering coursework to understand these individual vehicle systems and their interactions. The overall vehicle and relationships between subsystems must be understood to provide complementary architectural decisions and design solutions.

As a new graduate entering the field of mobility, a significant amount of your initial job (approximately 75%) will be using your mechanical, electrical and computing school experience to learn specific mobility technologies. Candidates are expected to use ARV resources, supplier/partner interactions and academic materials (e.g. textbooks, specifications, internet) to become competent in their field and subsystems. An associate engineer will be developed over a period of 6-12 months to obtain the skills and knowledge needed to be the primary point of contact between ARV and the subsystem suppliers/partners.

As your engineering knowledge grows, you will be ARVs ambassador to government counterparts and agencies. Subcontractor management will grow to include managing the cost and schedules of their engineering activities and hosting meetings. You will also support integration and test activities for these subsystems as vehicle development progresses

We are looking for a Associate Mechanical Engineer to work for our Sterling Heights, MI office.
