Senior Mechanical Engineer responsible for mechanical systems ownership, improvement, and scalability in advanced defense technology products.

О компании

The Warfighter Systems team is pioneering a future where mixed reality (MR) creates immersive, intuitive, and life-saving technologies. We develop next-generation capabilities that put advanced technology directly in the hands of operators, enhancing operational effectiveness and survivability. This team is responsible for taking innovative concepts from prototype to fieldable product on aggressive timelines.
WHAT YOU'LL DO: As a Senior Mechanical Engineer on the Connected Warfare team, you will take immediate and comprehensive ownership of the mechanical systems for a critical product already in production. This pivotal role involves driving its continuous improvement, evolution, and scalability, directly impacting global defense capabilities in an ever changing battlefield. YOU WILL:
Lead the full mechanical design lifecycle for rugged, mission-critical hardware, from initial assessment of existing architecture (mounting, housings, thermal management, integration points), documenting tribal knowledge, and evaluating CAD models, to identifying design gaps and technical debt.
Drive design evolution and innovation , translating operational feedback and evolving requirements into detailed mechanical designs.
Own the complete CAD-to-prototype pipeline , including design, coordinating fabrication, and validating performance through rigorous benchtop testing.
Ensure robust mechanical integration across complex subsystems (e.g., LiDAR, weapon mounts, power systems, electronics) and design for extreme operational environments (shock, vibration, environmental sealing) and field maintainability.
Serve as the mechanical authority for product quality , investigating and resolving complex issues, implementing permanent corrective actions, and driving Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) improvements.
Manage all engineering documentation , including production drawings, technical specifications, and the engineering Bill of Materials (BOM), while overseeing configuration and change management processes.
Support qualification campaigns to validate operational capabilities and collaborate extensively with cross-functional teams (electrical/firmware, manufacturing, test/evaluation) to achieve program goals.
Engage directly with warfighters in the field , traveling to exercises to collect feedback and provide critical product support.

Требования

B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field.
5+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience with a demonstrated track record of design ownership in a team setting.
Strong fundamentals in mechanical design, tolerance analysis, and materials selection, paired with high competence and fluid use of engineering first principles.
Hands-on prototyping experience; comfortable moving between CAD, machine shop, and test bench.
Proficiency with CAD software and the ability to produce high-quality engineering drawings and documentation.
Meaningful experience with managing a BOM and drawings within a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tool.
Experience with complex root cause analysis (RCA) and implementation of permanent corrective action (PCA) related to quality improvement.
A self-starter mentality, capable of identifying problems, proposing innovative solutions, and executing with minimal oversight.
U.S. Person status is required as this position needs to access export-controlled data.

Будет плюсом

Background in defense or ruggedized systems, with experience designing for extreme shock, vibration, and environmental sealing.
