About The Position

Raytheon Intelligence & Space is seeking an entry-level Mechanical Engineer to join the space mechanisms team supporting mechanisms development, integration, and test across multiple space programs in El Segundo, CA. The selected candidate will perform mechanical component and mechanisms design using Creo, and support assembly, integration, and test activities in a lab environment. The candidate is expected to work with a team of specialized junior and senior manufacturing and mechanical engineers to support the design, build, and test of EO/IR space hardware. Responsibilities include creating and/or revising opto-mechanical designs/drawings, generating assembly instructions, and providing build support in conjunction with technicians and other engineering disciplines, as well as design for producibility and manufacturability. The candidate will be expected to present their work for peer reviews. The engineer in this position should be familiar with general mechanisms components and application of engineering principles to aid in mechanisms design and development. They should be capable of performing in-depth research on tribology in mechanisms and application of kinematics in designing and analyzing mechanical assemblies. As a design engineer, they would be expected to generate detailed design drawings incorporating GD&T to ensure the requirements are maintained. They will be expected to work with a cross-functional engineering and analysis team involving material selection, thermal management, precision mechanical mounting and motion, and structural optimization while balancing schedule constraints. The candidate will need to understand change management and process engineering changes in a product data management tool. This will include creation, rework, and changes to the design as the changes occur. Contacts are primarily with the immediate section manager, team lead, project leaders, and other personnel (peers) within the applicable program.
