About The Position
The Mechanical Engineer II will support mechanical design activities across a diverse set of development programs, including soldier systems, targeting systems, airborne systems, military vehicle integrations, amplifiers, seekers, and the associated test equipment. As an Engineer II, you will apply frequently used mechanical engineering principles and techniques, contribute to program milestones, and support integration efforts across engineering disciplines. The Engineer II will be working with and supporting the mechanical design team for one or more projects. Responsibilities include mechanical system concept development, detailed mechanical design and analysis, as well as test and evaluation at the component and system level. The Engineer is expected to present knowledge and a track record in the following essential functions:
Requirements
- BS in Mechanical Engineering + 2 years' experience, or MS + 0 years' experience.
- Hands-on mechanical design, integration, and test skills.
- Growing breadth of knowledge in related engineering disciplines.
- Practical judgment to develop technical solutions that are reliable and implementable.
- Ability to works with increasing independence
- Contributes to designs, improvements, or modifications of mechanical components, systems, or assemblies.
