Senior Hardware & Production Engineer

PMAT • Centennial, CO

8d • Onsite

About The Position

At PMAT, we work on mission critical systems that directly support the warfighter, designing, building, and securing modern digital capabilities across cloud, data, and software environments. Our teams tackle complex, real-world challenges where delivery matters more than theory, and innovation is driven by curiosity, collaboration, and purpose. We are seeking a Senior Hardware / Production Engineer to support the development, integration, and production of the Minotaur Tactical Edge Node (TEN), a mission-critical edge computing platform used for real-time sensor fusion, ISR data processing, and tactical decision support. This role bridges hardware engineering and production, ensuring that ruggedized computing systems are designed, built, tested, and fielded to meet demanding operational environments across air, land, and maritime domains. This role directly supports the deployment of the Minotaur Tactical Edge Node, enabling real-time intelligence processing and decision-making at the tactical edge. Your work will enhance situational awareness and operational effectiveness for U.S. forces worldwide.

Requirements

• 6–10+ years of experience in hardware engineering, production engineering, or systems integration
• Experience with ruggedized computing systems or deployed tactical hardware
• Strong understanding of embedded systems, networking hardware, and high-performance compute platforms
• Experience with electronics manufacturing (PCB assembly, system integration, box build)
• Hands-on troubleshooting experience with lab and field equipment
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional engineering and production efforts
• Hardware-to-production transition for tactical systems
• Ruggedized system design & integration
• Production troubleshooting & RCCA
• Systems-level thinking (compute, network, sensors)
• Cross-functional leadership
• Data-driven manufacturing & reliability improvement

Nice To Haves

• Experience with ISR systems, sensor integration, or tactical data links
• Familiarity with edge computing architectures and distributed systems
• Experience supporting deployment to austere or forward-operating environments
• Knowledge of automated test equipment (ATE) and system-level diagnostics
• Lean Manufacturing / Six Sigma experience for production optimization
• Prior experience with Navy and Marine Corps

Responsibilities

• Lead transition of TEN hardware from development to the next generation, small form factor
• Ensure compliance with Design for Manufacturability (DFM), Design for Test (DFT), and Design for Reliability (DFR) principles for ruggedized edge systems
• Support design and integration of high-performance compute hardware (CPU/GPU systems, storage, networking, sensor interfaces)
• Develop production processes, test procedures, and acceptance criteria for deployed systems
• Troubleshoot hardware and system-level issues across lab, production, and fielded environments
• Perform root cause corrective action (RCCA) on failures identified during test or deployment
• Support environmental qualification (thermal, vibration, shock, EMI/EMC) for tactical deployments
• Manage configuration control, technical data packages (TDPs), and engineering change orders (ECOs)
• Collaborate with software, network, and ISR system teams to ensure hardware compatibility and performance
• Interface with DoD stakeholders, program offices, and operational users to support deployment readiness

Benefits

• We recruit, retain, and foster a team motivated to pursue passions, investigate new ways of doing things, and embody an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit.
• We believe in being curious about every element of a problem and experiment relentlessly.
• We foster continuous learning in an environment that encourages positive collaboration and expands our capabilities.
• We tap into collective intelligence, acknowledging that the most brilliant people may not be in the room.
• We believe that delivering and demonstrating is more potent than a sheet of paper.
• We are passionate about mission-centric design and delivering effective capabilities to and for the warfighter.
• Whether you’re an experienced engineer or just beginning your career, you’ll work alongside experts who are committed to solving mission-critical problems.
• If you’re passionate about using your skills to make a real difference, apply today and become part of a team that’s shaping the future of defense technology!
