Key responsibilities include:
- Execute rapid evaluation of engineering concepts across multiple technical domains
- Perform trade studies and physics-based analysis of complex engineering problems
- Design, implement, and test electro-mechanical systems with high autonomy
- Lead design reviews, conduct analysis, manage vendor relationships, and define hardware test plans
- Build prototypes, analyze failures, and transition successful projects to production
- Support critical hardware demonstrations with customers
- Travel to test sites as needed
- Apply first-principles physics to every decision
Required qualifications: experience in immersive technical projects (collegiate or professional); mechanical design and CAD proficiency with understanding of manufacturing methods (machining, sheet metal, composites, 3D printing, injection molding); ability to read and interpret schematics and wiring diagrams; strong command of engineering first principles; BS/MS/PhD in engineering or equivalent; eligibility for U.S. Secret security clearance.
Preferred: aircraft subsystem layout experience; structural, thermal, and electrical analysis competency; hands-on prototyping skills; leadership and interpersonal excellence; rugged environment design familiarity; electrical-mechanical subsystem integration experience (sensors, payloads, weapons, propulsion); electronics hardware development background (UAVs, wearables, firearms, optical systems); practical electrical engineering tools experience; MIL-STD requirements knowledge.
