Senior Mechanical Engineer, Maneuver Air DefenseNew$196K
The opportunity
Modern threats move fast, adapt faster, and don't wait for legacy systems to catch up. The Maneuver Air Defense team exists to close that gap — putting the tools for safety-critical decisions directly in the hands of warfighters operating on condensed timelines in contested environments.
What you'll do
Own and drive the mechanical design of ruggedized, vehicle-based subsystems: structures, and mechanisms from concept to low rate production
Apply first-principles engineering and physics to every design decision.
Build and test prototypes of complex electromechanical systems, and iterate quickly based on the results.
Spearhead design reviews, conduct analysis, visit vendors, prototype and: implement hardware test plans to ensure reliability in the harshest environments on earth.
Balance operational needs across vehicle subsystems while optimizing for: development speed, mass, manufacturability, and cost.
Work in close partnership with other disciplines to ensure the electrical,: software, and mechanical systems collectively form a reliable, flexible, cost-effective system.
What they're looking for
- Experience with NX and Teamcenter.
- MEng, MS, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
- Experience taking ruggedized electromechanical assemblies from concept to: low-rate production for automotive, space, or military applications.
- Ability to integrate electronics into mechanical designs (motors,: controllers, sensors, radars, etc.), including packaging, thermal management, sealing, and cable harnessing.
- Experience with production processes (machining, sheet metal, injection: molding, welding, wire harnessing, 3D printing) to inform design for manufacturability.
- Experience with vehicle-mounted or expeditionary systems.
