Mechanical Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer with a strong background in engine and mechanical systems design with multidisciplinary R&D engineering. This role requires technical expertise to design, develop, analyze, and test innovative mechanical systems for Department of Defense (DoD) applications. The successful candidate will participate in cross-functional teams to convert conceptual ideas into production-ready solutions ensuring compliance with applicable standards while driving innovation from first principles through to field testing and deployment.

• Collaborate within multidisciplinary R&D teams comprised of electrical, chemical, materials science, mechanical, software, and systems engineers, as well as program management, to ensure successful project execution
• Generate functional mechanical solutions from complex project requirements through innovative conceptual designs
• Assist engineers and scientists develop, build, sketch and produce production-level prototypes
• Conduct field testing to evaluate solutions in DOD specific application environments
• Develop cost-effective mechanical systems to evaluate conceptual designs
• Provide technical expertise and assistance to other engineers and support personnel
• Author technical reports, white papers, proposals, and documentation supporting R&D projects.
• Work under the direction of Program Managers, Principal Investigators or Project Engineers
• Ensure designs comply with relevant safety, quality, and industry standards, including applicable military standards (MIL-STD)
• Must wear appropriate PPE as needed and adhere to all safety standards
• Physical Requirements:
  
  Work is performed in an office/lab/field environment. Must have the ability to lift up to 30 lbs. and work with hands solving hands-on mechanical engineering tasks.

• Must be a U.S. Citizen
• Experience participating in design teams to develop mechanical and/or electromechanical systems to meet design requirements including thermal, acoustic, and vibration requirements etc.
• Demonstrated ability to multitask in a fast-paced, autonomously driven atmosphere
• Demonstrated ability to develop, lead and coordinate engineering solutions to complex material failures
• Experience with 3D CAD systems such as Solid Works
• Understanding of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
• Must possess technical and analytical thinking skills with a detail-oriented physics-based approach
• Demonstrated ability to self-manage assigned project tasks to meet schedule
• Proven track record of technical writing (reports, proposals, publications). Samples may be required.
• Excellent communication skills (both written and oral)
• Demonstrated ability to learn new skills
• Must be able to pass a background check and drug screen

• Practical knowledge of AS9100 or other quality management systems
• Experience with the design, development, and testing of small combustion-driven engine systems to include designing and tuning mechanical system controls
• Experience designing mechanical systems for diverse Soldier environments to include follow on maintenance procedures and sustainment support.
• FE certification or PE license in Engineering.
• Experience developing and executing test plans for MIL-STD requirements
• Secret security clearance

• Education:
  
  BS or higher in Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering
• 5+ years’ experience in state-of-the-art research, design and development engineering
