About The Position

The Airborne Radar Mechanical Design Department is seeking a mechanical engineer for the Receiver & Electronic Packaging Section in El Segundo, California. The role involves electronics packaging design for airborne radar subsystems, including antenna, receiver, exciter, processor, and power supply subsystems. Mechanical engineering work spans the hardware life cycle, from concept development and preliminary and detail design through production transition, production support, and installation. Designs support sensor systems for tactical airborne defense environments, including ground-based, shipboard, airborne, and space applications. Technologies include high-density printed wiring board assemblies, electronic enclosures, thermal heat exchangers, machined components, RF microwave assemblies, and power converter units, subject to constraints such as size, weight, power, and cost. The engineer will design and release mechanical parts and systems for Receiver & Electronic Packaging and other subsystems, provide engineering support to internal operations and external suppliers, create 3-D models and 2-D detail drawings, and prepare change notices. The role also supports the creation of design specifications and acceptance requirement documents. This is an onsite, U.S.-based position in El Segundo, California, with relocation assistance based on candidate eligibility. An active DoD Secret clearance is required after day one, and U.S. citizenship is required. The stated salary range is $118,300–$224,900.
