Senior Mechanical Design Engineer (Multiple Tracks: Core Tech, Lethality, & DFM/DFA) is a senior-level role focused on designing, testing, and scaling mission-critical hardware for autonomous air, sea, ground, and strike platforms. Depending on the specific track, the engineer 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 and assembly optimization. The role requires creating 3D models and 2D drawings following ASME Y14.5 (GD&T) standards while performing FEA, hand calculations, and tolerance stack-up analysis. Candidates must be proficient in SolidWorks, NX, or Creo, and experienced with PLM/PDM environments like Teamcenter. The work involves solving complex engineering problems across diverse fabrication processes including CNC machining, weldments, sheet metal, injection molding, and composite layups to ensure hardware survives harsh operational conditions.
