About The Position

As an individual contributor, you will function as the responsible Mechanical Engineer on programs and internal development projects. Responsible for the design, layout, testing and evaluation of mechanical and electro-mechanical devices and/or systems for space and airborne products. Prepares design specifications, analysis and recommendations for presentation and approval. Analyzes mechanical requirements to determine feasibility of design within time and cost constraints. The position focuses on integrating electronic components into mechanically robust assemblies that support thermal, environmental, weight, and size requirements, while working with a cross-functional team to solve practical engineering challenges.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience.
Graduate Degree or equivalent with 0 to 2 years of prior related experience.
In lieu of a degree, minimum of 6 years of prior related experience.

Nice To Haves
