Mechanical Design Engineer (Multiple Tracks: Core Tech, Lethality, & DFM/DFA) is a role focused on designing, testing, and scaling mission-critical hardware for autonomous air, sea, ground, and strike platforms. Depending on the specific track, engineers will perform tasks ranging from blank-sheet mechanical packaging and electro-mechanical integration to warhead design involving energetic material packaging or optimizing high-rate manufacturability through tooling strategies. The role involves owning components from requirements through volume manufacturing, creating 3D models and 2D drawings following ASME Y14.5 (GD&T) standards. Candidates will utilize tools like NX, SolidWorks, or Creo within PLM/PDM environments to perform FEA and hand calculations for structural, thermal, and vibration analysis. The work addresses complex engineering challenges in defense technology, including dense PCBA packaging, RF shielding, and manufacturing optimization across processes like CNC machining, injection molding, and composite layups.
