Sr Mechanical Engineer

Job description

The Senior Mechanical Engineer will lead the design, development, and rapid integration of mechanical systems supporting advanced defense applications, including unmanned systems, sensor payloads, and mission-critical hardware. This role requires a hands-on engineer capable of moving quickly from concept to prototype to fieldable system, often under compressed timelines and evolving requirements. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced environments, balances analytical rigor with practical execution, and is comfortable working across multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated solutions. Essential Job Functions: - Lead mechanical design of complex assemblies, including enclosures, mounting structures, thermal solutions, and structural components for defense systems - Develop designs from concept through detailed design, prototype fabrication, and test - Perform trade studies to balance weight, strength, thermal performance, manufacturability, and cost - Create and maintain 3D CAD models, drawings, and technical data packages (TDPs) - Drive rapid build-test-iterate cycles with a focus on speed and performance - Support hands-on integration of hardware into platforms (e.g., UAVs,...
