Job Summary: In this role, you will design electromechanical assemblies, mechanisms, and large structures – following designs through their full lifecycle. Successful candidates use their creativity and engineering knowledge to develop innovative mechanical solutions as we push the boundaries of high-power microwave technology. You will have a hands-on role in designing, building, and testing mechanical designs ranging from small electronics packages to large actuated systems.

Responsibilities:

• Design and build RF-phased array structures and electronic packages as a key member of a cross-functional product design team
• Design harnesses, cables, and interconnects for large electronics assemblies and vehicle-mounted systems
• Perform thermal and structural analyses to validate designs and ensure robust, reliable designs.
• Create CAD models and detailed manufacturing drawings, including tolerance analysis and GD&T in compliance with ASME Y14.5
• Collaborate with the operations team to transition designs into production, driving quality and manufacturability.
• Develop and execute environmental testing to validate product performance in real world conditions.

Basic Qualifications:

• Undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent.
• Demonstrated ability to design complex mechanical assemblies in a highly collaborative interdisciplinary team.
• 2+ years of relevant experience including hands-on design and build
• Strong written and oral communication skills
• Proficiency in mechanical design packages such as SolidWorks or equivalent

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Demonstrated comfort with hands-on build and test of mechanical systems.
• Demonstrated experience in applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
• Experience designing harnesses or cables for complex electronic systems
• Ability to understand and contribute to electrical schematics, diagrams and interconnects
• Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization and in multidisciplinary design teams.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
