  • Participate in mechanical engineering designs, development, integration/test, and production of military GPS receivers
  • Generate 3D solid models, drawings, and documentation utilizing GD&T principles
  • Perform tolerance analysis to assure fit & function
  • Perform thermal, structural/stress, and modal/vibration analyses
  • Assess designs against environmental requirements
  • Develop prototypes and conduct test and verification efforts
  • Partner with other engineering disciplines and operations personnel to develop solutions that adhere to design to unit product cost (DTUPC), design for test (DFT), and design for manufacture (DFM) requirements
  • Support resolution of technical issues discovered during manufacture and test of deliverable hardware
  • Evaluate and troubleshoot mechanical faults and issues, assessing test failures for root cause, identifying disposition/corrective actions
  • Design test fixtures and equipment to ensure the performance and integrity of manufactured products
  • Participate in requirements development, performing technical trade studies, and evaluating technology insertion/upgrades
  • Develop and execute test plans, which includes the integration of test solutions, and provide detailed reports on test result
