Full Job Description
The Mechanical & Reliability Systems and Prototype Development Department provides innovative solutions for electronic prototypes designed for advanced sensing, communication, and navigation systems on ground, airborne, and shipboard platforms. Engineers from this group are critical to all aspects of prototype or system development, including conceptual design, system integration, fabrication, testing, and environmental qualification. We provide technical guidance through rigorous analytical, physical, and computational methods with data driven products to enhance decision making and risk management.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Candidate will be responsible for providing solutions that enhance mission effectiveness by applying an integrated approach emphasizing early design, mechanical analysis, and environmental testing as well as prototype development. Candidate will have the opportunity to work with others in the interrelated fields of Mechanical Design, Mechanical Systems Engineering, Aeronautics, and Astronautics. Candidate will use 3D mechanical computer-aided design (CAD) software packages to facilitate the creation and independent review of complex geometries and drawings suitable for analysis and/or manufacturing (both traditional and advanced methods).

Basic Qualifications:
  • Typically requires 2-5 years of related experience with a related bachelor's degree, or equivalent combination of related education and work experience
  • Experience working collaboratively in a team environment and demonstrate excellent and effective written and verbal communication skills
  • Skilled in the use of CAD software (SolidWorks preferred) and generating design concepts and detailed design for complex mechanical assemblies
  • Knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
  • Experience conducting engineering analyses in the areas of structures, dynamics, or thermofluids, including the use of finite element analysis (FEA) techniques (ANSYS preferred)
  • This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance
  • Per the U.S. Government's eligibility requirements for a clearance, U.S. Citizenship is required.
  • This position requires a minimum of 4 days a week on-site


Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience working on ground, airborne, or shipboard electronic systems
  • Experience developing and fabricating hardware prototypes
  • Experience with mechanical, reliability, and environmental test and evaluation such as use of vibration tables, thermal chambers, etc.
