BOAB Ventures is hiring an Electronic Packaging Mechanical Engineer for a defense prime building avionics systems. You will follow the product from concept through hardware integration and test, working with designers, thermal and structural analysts, systems engineers, program managers, and customer counterparts.

You will own the mechanical engineering work behind rugged electronics assemblies: design, analysis, documentation, fabrication, assembly, and qualification to spec. Schedules are tight and the technical bar is high. A strong background packaging avionics electronics is the key to this role.

• Create complex mechanical designs and layouts for multiple products, working from high level requirements and deriving lower level requirements as needed.
• Package circuit cards, connectors, and cables, and integrate and validate them in rugged ground, avionics, or space environments.
• Develop, integrate, and validate mechanical, electro mechanical, and opto mechanical designs.
• Support thermal, fluid, structural, and power analyses and offer solutions based on the results.
• Support prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting of designs.
• Design additively manufactured parts, machined parts, weldments, sheet metal parts, and cable assemblies.
• Develop design control documentation.
• Work with outside vendors to source parts, and with cross functional teams to develop new solutions.
