TL;DR · Mechanical Design Engineer

The Mechanical Design Engineer joins a multi-disciplinary team to support the development of advanced systems and hardware for communication systems and antenna systems. This role involves full-lifecycle engineering, where you will design robust electromechanical systems, create 3D CAD models and manufacturing documentation, perform tolerance analyses, and conduct material selections. You will build and evaluate prototypes, execute comprehensive test plans including environmental and vibration testing, and troubleshoot system-level issues in high-priority scenarios. The position requires hands-on experience with fabrication, assembly, and precision measurement equipment while utilizing SolidWorks 3D CAD/CAM software. Key technical competencies include a deep understanding of machining processes like CNC machining and additive manufacturing, as well as proficiency in creating detailed engineering drawings. You will manage the integration and maintenance of both legacy and new mechanical systems within complex infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Design and develop robust mechanical and electromechanical systems, assemblies, and components based on specific requirements.
  • Create 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and manufacturing documentation for various hardware projects.
  • Perform tolerance analysis, material selection, and design-for-manufacturability assessments during the development phase.
  • Build, assemble, and evaluate prototypes to validate performance requirements and system functionality.
  • Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve mechanical issues in high-priority scenarios using root cause analysis.
  • Execute comprehensive test plans including environmental, vibration, thermal, and functional testing activities.
  • Integrate new mechanical systems into existing platforms and infrastructure for communication and antenna systems.
  • Perform routine maintenance, upgrades, and configuration improvements on deployed electromechanical equipment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing/Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5 to 10+ years of experience in mechanical design and product development.
  • Experience with full-lifecycle engineering including concept development, prototyping, testing, integration, and sustainment.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks 3D CAD/CAM software and creating technical drawings and specifications.
  • Hands-on experience with fabrication, assembly, and troubleshooting complex mechanical systems using hand and power tools.
  • Strong understanding of materials, machining processes, fasteners, tolerance stack-ups, and manufacturing methods like CNC or 3D printing.
  • Active DoD Secret clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD TS/SCI clearance.
  • U.S. Citizenship is required for this position.
