DescriptionThe Mechanical Engineer (ME) will provide ME support to advanced C2 system architectures within integrated defense environments with an emphasis on Design and Systems Analysis. The engineer will develop mechanical designs and drawings, evaluate subsystem capabilities, interpret fluid dynamics studies, and support SETA activities spanning the production life-cycle. This role requires deep experience in mechanical system design, an understanding of how mechanical components interact with C2 hardware and electronics, and the ability to support rapid engineering decisions in a fast‑evolving operational domain. Security Requirements
Access to classified information at the SECRET level is required. Applicants must be U.S. citizens and able to obtain and maintain a favorable SECRET clearance through DCSA. Continued employment is contingent on the clearance being granted and maintained.
This is an onsite position that requires the candidate to live within commuting distance of North Charleston, SC.
Responsibilities
- Develop, review, and refine detailed mechanical engineering drawings and design documentation.
- Support SETA (Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance) activities, providing technical insight and design expertise.
- Assess mechanical system capabilities and recommend improvements or corrective actions.
- Interpret, analyze, and apply conclusions from fluid dynamic studies, simulations, and test data to system designs.
- Collaborate across engineering disciplines to ensure design integration and technical accuracy.
- Participate in design reviews, technical interchange meetings, and risk assessments.
- Prepare technical reports, specifications, and engineering change proposals.
- Ensure designs meet program requirements, industry standards, and applicable regulations.
- Support testing, verification, and validation activities for mechanical components and systems.
- Internal and External stakeholder management within complex, dynamic and evolving operational and functional areas.
Qualifications
- Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.
- Bachelor’s Degree in an ABET-accredited Engineering discipline with 10+ years of relevant experience.
Any clearance requirements for this position are established by the government contract.
Desired Qualifications:
- Master’s Degree in Engineering with 8+ years of relevant experience.
- Extensive experience with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, CREO, or similar).
- Background in aerospace, defense, or high‑reliability mechanical systems.
- Experience contributing to or leading SETA activities.
- Familiarity with system architecture, requirements decomposition, and interface control.
- Strong technical writing and communication skills.
- Prior experience working in classified or government program environments.
