ABOUT THE TEAM

The Air Dominance & Strike Electromechanical Engineers are responsible for the mechanical packaging, interconnect architecture, and structural integration of avionics, power systems, and electro-optical payloads across Group 5 aircraft and our high-speed missiles. The team owns the full development lifecycle—from concept through qualification and flight operations—delivering rugged, high-performance electromechanical systems optimized for Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C).

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Design flight-critical enclosures, chassis, and mechanical packaging for high-density circuit card assemblies, battery systems, electro-optical payloads, and cable/harness assemblies.
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to inform PCBA layout, define connector configurations, manage keep-out zones, route harnesses, and establish thermal and grounding interfaces.
• Create detailed 3D models, drawing packages, and GD&T and tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure designs are optimized for assembly, serviceability, and high-yield manufacturing.
• Conduct hand calculations and structural FEA, working with thermal and fatigue analysts to validate performance before committing to physical hardware.
• Design hardware to survive aerospace environments and meet standards such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-464/461, and DO-160 (vibration, shock, thermal extremes, moisture, and EMI/EMC).
• Lead root-cause investigations and corrective actions for mechanical, environmental, or manufacturing anomalies found during qualification or flight operations.
• Support design reviews (PDR/CDR) and drive execution of engineering deliverables across distributed, cross-functional teams including systems, hardware, software, manufacturing, test, and supply chain.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 4+ years of experience in electronics packaging and/or electromechanical systems design in aerospace, defense, automotive, or robotics.
• Direct experience designing hardware to MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-464/461 environmental and EMI/EMC standards.
• Proficiency with 3D CAD (Siemens NX, SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar) for complex modeling, enclosure packaging, and harness routing.
• Understanding of advanced manufacturing processes including CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, casting, injection molding, and 3D printing, with hands-on prototyping experience.
• Strong communication, collaboration, and teamwork skills across multi-site, multi-disciplinary teams.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Extensive experience with Siemens NX and Teamcenter.
• Familiarity with eCAD tools (Altium, Cadence Allegro) and harness design software (Siemens Capital, Zuken E3).
• Practical understanding of bare-board PCB manufacturing, high-density interconnect (HDI) stackups, and SMT assembly standards (IPC-A-610/J-STD-001).
• Advanced FEA and thermal simulation experience with tools such as Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Icepak, FloTHERM, or Ansys Sherlock.
• Experience designing battery modules/packs or precision-aligned electro-optical/sensor payloads.
• Active Top Secret DoD clearance.
