TL;DR · Senior Manager, Mechanical Engineering

As the Senior Manager, Mechanical Engineering, you will join the engineering team to lead a group of engineers in developing ruggedized products and scaling legacy designs for full-rate production. You will manage the entire lifecycle of subsystems and line replaceable units, overseeing requirements derivation, mechanical design, integration, validation, and reliability testing. The role involves establishing robust processes for hardware development while ensuring high-quality documentation for manufacturing and delivery. Key technical skills include 3D CAD proficiency, applying GD&T to engineering drawings, and designing for manufacturability using machining, sheet metal, injection molding, welding, wire harnessing, and 3D printing. You will solve complex problems by integrating electronic components like motors, sensors, and radars into mechanical designs to ensure reliable performance in harsh environments for military applications.

What you'll do

  • Lead the development of a family of systems from initial concept through full production.
  • Manage and mentor a team of 5-6 mechanical engineers to drive technical execution and growth.
  • Oversee full-cycle subsystem and Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) development, including requirements and integration.
  • Ensure engineering excellence by overseeing design reviews, analysis, and hardware testing for extreme environments.
  • Coordinate with manufacturing, quality, and reliability partners to ensure high-quality production documentation.
  • Support critical hardware demonstrations for internal and external customers.

What we're looking for

  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
  • 8+ years of mechanical/electromechanical design experience in a professional setting.
  • Experience in engineering management.
  • Proficiency in 3D CAD and applying GD&T to create high-quality engineering drawings.
  • Experience with production processes including machining, sheet metal, injection molding, welding, wire harnessing, and 3D printing.
  • Proven experience transitioning products from concepts into ruggedized fielded products.
  • Ability to integrate electronic components like motors, controllers, sensors, and radars into mechanical designs.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
