Mechanical Engineer, Systems Engineer, Test Engineer
We're seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join an innovative engineering team developing advanced precision mechanisms and electro-mechanical systems supporting critical national security programs.
Applicants must be U.S. Citizens authorized to work in the United States.
An Active Top Secret or TS/SCI security clearance (active within the last two years) is required for this position. Candidates must also be eligible to meet all applicable security requirements.
This is a highly hands-on engineering role where you'll own complex mechanical designs from concept through qualification while working alongside multidisciplinary teams of electrical, systems, manufacturing, and test engineers. If you enjoy designing hardware, solving challenging engineering problems, and seeing your designs come to life in the lab, this is an outstanding opportunity.
What You'll Do- Lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems and electro-mechanical assemblies
- Own significant hardware throughout the entire product lifecycle—from concept through production
- Create detailed 3D models, part drawings, and complete Technical Data Packages (TDPs)
- Perform component selection, trade studies, tolerance analysis, and design optimization
- Prototype, assemble, integrate, and test mechanical hardware
- Develop and execute mechanical test plans and validation procedures
- Support hardware integration, troubleshooting, and qualification testing
- Participate in Preliminary Design Reviews (PDRs), Critical Design Reviews (CDRs), and peer reviews
- Implement engineering changes and maintain design documentation
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams
- Provide technical leadership and mentor designers and technicians
- Support customer demonstrations and field testing activities when required
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline
- 6+ years of mechanical product design experience (or equivalent)
- Active Top Secret or TS/SCI Security Clearance (active within the last two years acceptable)
- Favorable polygraph
- Experience designing complex mechanical hardware
- Strong CAD modeling experience
- Experience generating engineering drawings and Technical Data Packages
- Hands-on prototype, integration, and testing experience
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
We're especially interested in engineers with experience in one or more of the following:
- Precision mechanisms
- Electro-mechanical systems
- Mechatronic assemblies
- Thermal and structural design
- Size, Weight & Power (SWaP) optimization
