About The Position

This role involves determining the best value resolution for problems, providing recommended courses of action and viable alternatives to customers. The engineer will develop reports documenting problem data, analyses, and recommended solutions with supporting rationale. Responsibilities span industrial engineering, mechanical engineering for utility infrastructure and hardware design, including process improvements, facility modifications, mechanical documentation, project management, and design of military components. The role requires research, analysis, reverse engineering, and evaluation of materials, electrical, and metallurgical aspects. It also involves repairing and upgrading test stations, designing form-fit-function and programmable logic devices, and performing RF project design and consultation. Access to government databases and knowledge of obsolescence management are crucial.
