The Mechanical Engineering Group focuses on developing innovative designs for mechanical systems. The group has expertise in static, dynamic, and thermo-elastic analyses; tribology; and mechanical design for systems ranging from large antenna structures to mechanisms and optical systems.

The group is the Engineering Division's center for 3D computer-aided design. It also provides electronics packaging and cable design for airborne and space systems. Example projects include airborne and space-based laser communications systems, biological agent detectors and identifiers, and large radar antenna systems. Much of the Group focus is Design and Documentation for Level 1 Programs, and coordination between other Groups on larger programs.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The successful candidate will work as part of a multidisciplinary team on the development of complex mechanical and opto-mechanical systems. Responsibilities include engineering design, analyses, integration, and testing of complex hardware from conceptual design through fabrication and field performance evaluation. The candidate must be knowledgeable in a broad range of challenging problems involving structures, mechanisms and opto-mechanical systems. The successful candidate will be expected to present engineering designs to both internal and external audiences. This position involves working in close-knit teams and may involve travel to meetings and field sites.

Requirement:

Demonstrated experience in mechanical design and development of complex opto-mechanical or precision engineered systems that must function in harsh environments is highly desired. Experience in aerospace applications is preferred. Must be able to work collaboratively in a team environment and demonstrate effective written and oral communication skills, and require little or no supervision.

PhD in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or MS with 10+ years of applicable experience.
