- Collaborating with electrical and software teams to ensure integrated system reliability and cost-effectiveness
- Conducting design reviews, structural analysis, vendor visits, and hardware testing
- Contributing to team processes, tools, templates, and standards
You'll need a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, 4+ years of hands-on mechanical design and testing experience (maritime, aerospace, or defense preferred), proficiency in CAD (Siemens NX preferred), and demonstrated fabrication skills. U.S. Secret clearance eligibility is required. Preferred qualifications include robotic/autonomous systems experience, defense/maritime domain knowledge, finite element analysis expertise, and product lifecycle experience from manufacturing through sustainment.
