Your responsibilities include developing mechanical packaging solutions for high-performance defense hardware, creating mounting structures, vibration isolation systems, and thermal management solutions, and overseeing the development process from concept to low-rate production. Ideal candidates have 7+ years of experience with mechanical integration of mission-critical systems in maritime or aerospace settings, proficiency in CAD software like Siemens NX, and a background in robotics or autonomous systems design. Experience with finite element analysis, machining, sheet metal work, injection molding, composites, and additive manufacturing is also required.

What you'll do

  • Develop mechanical packaging solutions for mission-critical components in maritime systems.
  • Create mounting structures and vibration isolation systems for high-performance hardware.
  • Design thermal management solutions to ensure optimal system performance.
  • Own and drive the development of mechanical systems from concept to production.
  • Conduct finite element analysis on complex structural assemblies, including aluminum and composites.

What we're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in mechanical integration of mission systems for maritime, aerospace, or defense applications.
  • Proven CAD skills with Siemens NX preferred and ability to produce high-quality engineering drawings.
  • Experience designing mounting structures, vibration isolation systems, and thermal management solutions for rugged environments.
  • Background in finite element analysis of complex structural assemblies using aluminum and composite materials.
  • Hands-on experience with machining, sheet metal fabrication, injection molding, composites, and additive manufacturing.
