About the position

This exciting position is for a Mechanical Engineer to work with technical staff to develop Electronic Warfare (EW) CCA, LRU and POD electronic packaging designs from concept through production, and to provide mechanical support for production. The position will require performing the mechanical engineering activities related to the design, analysis, documentation, processing, fabrication, assembly, and qualification of EW product to specification requirements typically with stringent technical, schedule, and process requirements. The candidate will also be responsible for production support including MRB and ECN activity to support the product and working with manufacturing for initial work instructions for new products. The candidate should have experience in design of detail parts and assemblies, preferably related to electronic packages. Experience in CAD tools is required, in particular CREO. Prefer experience with drawing practices per ANSI Y14. Require experience in machine shop practices, design for assembly, manufacturing tooling and test. Experience in environmental qualification of product including familiarity with Mil-STD-810, DO160 and RCC 319 is desired. Experience in writing test procedures and reports and preparing documentation for and presenting at PDR, CDR and TRR functions is required. Essential Functions include primary engineering responsibility for mechanical design tasks such as requirements analysis, specification generation, interface definition, component selection, component 3D CAD modeling, data collection, thermal and structural engineering analysis, and product documentation. The role also involves generating Technical Data Package components, supporting the development of test plans and procedures for mechanical subsystems, performing test and evaluation of component parts and systems, participating in peer reviews, PDRs, CDRs, and other required design reviews, and participating in product change review meetings and discussions.
