Harris Technologies Power Systems is an agile defense technology innovator, delivering end‑to‑end solutions for the U.S. Navy Shipbuilding programs. Our responsibilities in this role include supporting the design, layout, analysis, testing and evaluation of mechanical and electro‑mechanical devices and systems for power switchboards and circuit breakers used in Navy‑based electronic systems.

This position is responsible for applying mechanical engineering knowledge to develop and document mechanical designs, support product development efforts, and help resolve product or process issues for new and updated hardware. Assuming moderate supervision, the engineer works independently on moderately complex assignments and supports larger project efforts from concept through production. Responsibilities include 3D modeling, drafting, mechanical packaging, structural and thermal analysis support, interpretation of specifications, and implementation of customer and documentation requirements.

• Support the design, layout, development, and documentation of mechanical and electro‑mechanical assemblies for power switchboards, circuit breakers and related equipment.
• Review and interpret customer specifications, internal requirements, and applicable military/industry standards to determine mechanical, structural, thermal, environmental, and safety‑related design considerations.
• Develop 3D models, detail drawings, assemblies, bills of material, and engineering documentation in accordance with program and company standards.
• Perform or support structural, thermal, and mechanical analyses to evaluate design feasibility and compliance within time and cost constraints.
• Support product development activities including concept evaluation, layout development, drawing interpretation and implementation of customer documentation requirements.
• Coordinate with cross‑functional engineering disciplines, manufacturing, quality, supply chain and test organizations to support design maturation and production readiness.
• Assist with manufacturing builds, integration activities, troubleshooting and qualification testing as needed.
• Process and manage engineering changes for assigned work using PLM tools and established configuration management processes.
• Interface with customers, vendors and internal stakeholders to explain and interpret design requirements, processes, and documentation related to the job area.
• Support cost, schedule, and technical performance objectives for assigned tasks with some impact on department and program results.
• Acquire and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience. Graduate degree or equivalent with 0 to 2 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 6 years of prior related experience.
• Practical knowledge of mechanical engineering design and documentation.
• Experience using 3D CAD software in a design environment.
• Familiarity with engineering drawings, mechanical layouts and product documentation.
• Experience interpreting engineering specifications, standards and technical requirements.

• Experience with Solid Works.
• Experience with Navy, military or commercial specifications for design and environmental qualification testing.
• Experience working with power switchboards, circuit breakers or similar low/medium‑voltage or high‑power equipment.
• Experience creating detailed mechanical drawings, assemblies, bills of material, and engineering change documentation.
• Working knowledge of GD&T.
• Familiarity with structural, static, dynamic, modal, or thermal analysis tools and methods.
• Experience with mechanical packaging and enclosure design for electronic equipment.
• Familiarity with PLM systems and engineering change processes.
• Experience with materials selection, hardware and manufacturing processes, including…
