TL;DR · Manager Mechanical Engineer

Manager Mechanical Engineer leads the Environmental Analysis Team within the Mechanical Engineering department to support the design, qualification, production, and sustainment of ruggedized electronic and electro-mechanical hardware. This role involves managing a team of analysts, translating functional goals into operating plans, and providing technical direction for thermal, structural, vibration, shock, fatigue, and environmental analyses. The manager ensures high-quality documentation, drives correlation between analysis and field performance data, and collaborates with cross-functional teams to resolve design issues while balancing cost and manufacturability. Key responsibilities include mentoring staff, improving standard work processes, and supporting proposal development. Required skills include expertise in FEA and thermal modeling using commercial tools, as well as experience with qualification testing for temperature, altitude, humidity, and dust. The role addresses the technical challenges of ensuring product reliability in high-reliability environments.

What you'll do

  • Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team of mechanical and environmental analysts.
  • Manage resource allocation across proposals, development efforts, qualification programs, and production support based on business priorities.
  • Provide technical direction for thermal, structural, vibration, shock, and fatigue analyses to ensure rigorous documentation.
  • Drive correlation between analysis, test, and field performance data to improve model accuracy and product reliability.
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to resolve design issues while balancing performance, cost, and manufacturing requirements.
  • Establish and improve standard work for analysis planning, peer reviews, and report quality.
  • Support proposal development, including basis-of-estimate creation and technical risk assessments for customer presentations.
  • Champion continuous improvement through root-cause problem solving, method enhancement, and automation to reduce cycle times.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field with 9 years of experience, or a graduate degree with 7 years of experience.
  • Experience in engineering leadership including people management, workload planning, performance evaluation, and coaching.
  • Strong background in thermal and structural analysis for mechanical or electro-mechanical hardware.
  • Experience with vibration, shock, and environmental qualification methods.
  • Proficiency using commercial tools for FEA and thermal modeling.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Department of Defense security clearance.
  • Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (preferred).
  • U.S. citizens.
