• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related STEM discipline with 12 years of relevant experience; alternatively, 10 years with a master’s degree or 8 years with a PhD.
• Experience applying electrical, electronic, and mechanical principles to integrated hardware, assemblies, subsystems, or electromechanical systems.
• Experience with prototype development, developmental hardware fabrication, assembly, integration, and testing.
• Experience troubleshooting complex systems or subsystems, performing root cause analysis, and resolving technical problems.
• Experience supporting hardware or system integration in laboratory, development, production, field, or customer environments.
• Experience documenting engineering activities, test results, technical findings, and recommendations.
• Experience supporting the full system lifecycle, including development, deployment, and sustainment.
• Experience working in cross-functional engineering environments spanning multiple technical disciplines.
• Experience supporting complex technical efforts in mission-critical, sensitive, or classified environments.
• Experience interfacing with customers and internal stakeholders to understand requirements, communicate status, and develop technical solutions.
• Ability to work independently under consultative direction and drive technical efforts to closure.
• Ability to provide technical leadership, coordination, or mentorship across engineering teams.
• U.S. citizenship.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government Top Secret clearance and any program-required special access.
