About the Role:As a Senior Mechanical Engineer at ITI, you will own the design and verification of mechanical packaging and subsystems that are a critical part of advanced military electronics and computing products. You will work with a cross-functional team of software, electrical, systems, firmware, and qualification engineers. You will work within a small team of highly skilled mechanical engineers - both learning from very experienced engineers and mentoring interns and entry -level engineers. With an on-site state-of-the-art machine shop dedicated to research and development you will see your designs move from concept to reality in hours instead of months.
