Senior Mechanical Engineer (Remote) - ( ANS
0005KI )

Amentum is seeking an experienced engineer to be a Technical Lead in a dynamic, fast-paced, and challenging research and development environment in support of one of our nation’s top defense priorities. The one-of-a-kind test program is perpetually in a state of test execution and planning and integration in preparation for the next test series. This program is fast paced and requires initiative, teamwork, and the ability to effectively communicate across all levels of the organization.

The team is multi-organizational, and skills span from senior program managers to engineers, to on-site technicians, logistics, budget, and everything in-between. The environment is fast-paced and demands attention to detail while never losing sight of the big picture.

Critical aspects of this role are to lead the development of technical solutions, develop concept solutions, and lead detailed design efforts across a multidisciplinary subsystem base, including electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic, power, and mechanical systems.

• Technical System Development:
  Lead the development of technical test systems to meet demanding customer test requirements and develop innovative concept solutions to solve complex testing challenges.
• Design & Issue Resolution:
  Lead detailed design reviews, resolve technical issues, provide technical support in defining courses of action and validating those against requirements and documented concept of operations.
• Operational Planning & Execution:
  Work closely with site technicians and field engineers to plan and execute complex site operations. This involves coordinating activities and managing interfaces across various technical disciplines.
• Documentation and Configuration Control:
  • Develop and provide technical content to produce engineering drawings and documentation that support equipment integration, interface control, and site operations/procedures.
  • Conduct review, approval, and audit of drawings, specifications, technical reports, and other engineering documentation for test program use.
  • Work with the document manager to ensure all technical documentation is complete, accurate, and ready for use on time.
• Real‑Time Problem Solving:
  Identify issues, clarify the problems, communicate them effectively, and lead the development of solutions. This includes resolving field‑initiated technical questions and leading resolution of a wide range of complex design and constructability issues.
• Programmatic Communication and Management:
  • Communicate status and issues across the broader program and with the customer.
  • Work very closely with other program managers, engineers, documentation managers, logistics, and procurement to develop a plan, track key items, drive completion of milestones, adjust to unexpected issues, and monitor/communicate overall status.
  • Lead without formal organizational authority.

• Technical degree, BA/BS and 8 to 10+ years of related experience, or 15 years of relevant experience in an Engineering field are required.
• Engineering degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or similar is preferable.
• Schedule management and development experience.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills.
• Previous experience with CAD, engineering drawings, and technical requirements.
• Ability to manage many competing priorities simultaneously.
• US Citizen, security clearance eligible.

• The preferred candidate will have a multidisciplinary background i.e. mechanical, electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic, and power.
• A demonstrated record of generating cradle to grave quick react solutions.
• Strong judgment, effective communication skills, and an ability to respond to the unexpected.
• Experience in DOD-related test programs is preferred.
• Proven ability to conduct independent work requiring technical and operations judgment.
• Experience in identifying, implementing, and complying with applicable safety, environmental, and quality standards, company procedures and policies, and other relevant legislative and…
