Be visionary

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets that require advanced technology and high reliability. These markets include aerospace and defense, factory automation, air and water quality environmental monitoring, electronics design and development, oceanographic research, deepwater oil and gas exploration and production, medical imaging and pharmaceutical research.

We are looking for individuals who thrive on making an impact and want the excitement of being on a team that wins.

The Senior Systems / Mechanical Engineer will serve as a technical lead and subject matter expert supporting the evaluation, definition, and development of advanced HVAC and thermal management solutions for U.S. Government systems. The position is focused on assessing existing cooling infrastructure, defining technical requirements, and developing well‑reasoned modernization approaches suitable for demanding operational environments.

This role is centered on technical execution and includes responsibilities in systems engineering, mechanical and HVAC design, thermal analysis, engineering trade studies, and subsystem integration. The engineer will support Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) activities to ensure requirements traceability, architectural consistency, and technical readiness for future design and prototype efforts. The successful candidate will be capable of translating high‑level technical objectives into sound engineering solutions and presenting clear, defensible technical recommendations to internal teams and government stakeholders.

Experience supporting government programs involving complex mechanical or thermal systems, particularly during early system definition or modernization planning phases, is strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to provide technical leadership in the definition, analysis, and integration of complex mechanical or HVAC systems, including requirements development, system architecture, and subsystem interfaces.
• Experience in conducting early‑phase system assessments, trade studies, and technical evaluations to support modernization planning or future system development.
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams, including coordination with electrical, structural, controls, and manufacturing disciplines.
• Experience in applying Model‑Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) or structured systems engineering methods to support requirements development and design alignment.
• Strong technical understanding of HVAC and thermal management system architectures, including performance analysis, environmental considerations, and system integration.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly present technical concepts, findings, and recommendations.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and with minimal supervision while remaining aligned with technical objectives and customer needs.
• Experience supporting U.S. Government programs involving mechanical, thermal, or environmental control systems is strongly preferred.

Bachelor’s degree (B.S.) from a four‑year college or university in an accredited engineering discipline (Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field) and 12+ years of relevant experience in systems engineering, mechanical engineering, HVAC design, or thermal management supporting complex systems.

• Ability to read, analyze, and interpret general business periodicals, professional journals, technical procedures, or governmental regulations.
• Ability to write reports, business correspondence, and procedure manuals.
• Ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from groups of managers, clients, customers, and the general public.

• Ability to work with mathematical concepts such as probability and statistical inference, and fundamentals of plane and solid geometry and trigonometry.
• Ability to apply trigonometry, calculus and statistics for design, analysis and problem solving.

• Ability to apply common sense…
