About The Position

CACI is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to join its engineering department in Rochester, New York. The organization designs and builds hardware and software to meet customer requirements, with emphasis on rapidly fielding solutions for mission needs. Its work includes specialized electronic and mechanical design, embedded and application-level software, reverse engineering and protocol analysis, and RF signals exploitation and communications systems. Size, weight, power, and packaging are important considerations in its designs. The ideal candidate has at least five years of mechanical engineering experience.

The engineer will design packaging for ruggedized equipment containing electrical and mechanical elements; perform and interpret thermal simulation analyses aligned with military-standard environmental requirements; and produce build-to drawings and data packages. The role also collaborates with suppliers to resolve specification, performance, and reliability issues and to obtain commercial and custom-machined parts. The engineer will work with hardware designers to optimize circuit card layout for thermal performance and mitigation, and collaborate across engineering to understand requirements, exchange technical feedback, and report status.

The position is full-time, regular employment, with up to 10% local travel. No clearance is required to start. The proposed salary range is $90,300–$189,600.
