Senior Mechanical Design Engineer role focused on designing, testing, and scaling mission-critical hardware for autonomous military platforms across various product teams.

Обязанности

is seeking exceptional, hands-on Senior Mechanical Design Engineers to design, test, and scale mission-critical hardware across our autonomous air, sea, ground, and strike platforms.
We are hiring across three core work-streams. Depending on your background, technical depth, and career focus, you will align with one of the following hardware teams:
Core Technology Products: Architect foundational hardware platforms spanning aircraft, missiles, maritime vessels, and ground systems. You will lead blank-sheet mechanical packaging, tight electro-mechanical integration (thermal, RF, PCBAs), and rapid hardware iteration.
Lethality (Warhead Design): Design and mature advanced warheads, ordnance, and munitions systems. You will bridge mechanical engineering, dynamic modeling, energetic material packaging, safety constraints, and live-fire test operations.
Design for Excellence (DFM / DFA): Sit at the critical interface between initial CAD concepts and production reality. You will drive high-rate manufacturability, assembly optimization, drawing standards, and tooling strategies to ensure hardware can scale at the speed of mission need.
End-to-End Hardware Ownership: Own components and complex mechanical assemblies from requirements definition, hand calculations, and conceptual design through prototyping, testing, and volume manufacturing.
Rigorous Mechanical Design: Create high-fidelity 3D models and fully defined 2D drawing packages in strict accordance with ASME Y14.5 (GD&T) standards.
Multi-Discipline Engineering: Design parts across diverse fabrication processes—including precision 3/5-axis CNC machining, complex weldments, sheet metal, injection molding, composite layups, and structural adhesive bonding.
Analysis & Simulation: Apply first-principles engineering and FEA/hand calculations to validate structural, thermal, vibrational, and tolerance-stackup performance under harsh operational conditions.
Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFM/DFA): Perform 1D/3D tolerance stacks, DFMEAs, and tool-access assessments early in development to de-risk production bottlenecks and scale throughput.
Prototyping & Test Execution: Build physical prototypes, author detailed test plans, and run functional testing (environmental, dynamic, bench-top, or live arena/range tests depending on track).
Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate shoulder-to-shoulder with Electrical, Manufacturing, Quality, Safety, and Test teams, as well as external suppliers, to solve urgent hardware bottlenecks.

Требования

Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline.
7+ years of professional mechanical design experience taking physical hardware from initial concept through fabrication and functional test.
High proficiency in parametric 3D CAD (SolidWorks, NX, or Creo) and modern PLM/PDM environments (e.g., Teamcenter).
Working knowledge of engineering drawings and practical application of ASME Y14.5 GD&T and tolerance stack-up analysis.
Demonstrated hands-on prototyping and fabrication skills with a track record of root-causing manufacturing and hardware defects.
Strong foundation in engineering first principles (statics, dynamics, material selection, heat transfer, and structural mechanics).
Clearance: Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance (Secret or Top Secret depending on division).

Будет плюсом

(Candidates are not expected to meet all points; alignment with a specific track is valued)
Lethality Track: Experience with naval ordnance, warheads, energetic materials, DoD weapons safety boards, high-rate dynamic modeling, or live-fire arena testing.
Core Tech Track: Experience designing tightly integrated electromechanical systems (dense PCBA packaging, active/passive thermal management, RF/EMI shielding, harness routing).
DFM/DFA Track: Deep expertise in tooling design, high-volume injection molding, robotic/manual weldment design, structural bonding, or building visual standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Active U.S. Security Clearance (DoD Secret, Top Secret, or DOE Q).
Willingness to travel for field/range testing when required (up to 25% for Lethality workstreams).
